I was told when I first started blogging here at 10,000 Birds that I was never to use the short form, “10K.” This is interesting right now because the AVian Phylogenomics Consortium has just announced the Bird 10K project, which ties together a pile of previously done research with some exciting new projects just taking off now.

The research on these swallows involved mist netting, a technique for safely collecting wild birds for measurement or banding and release. When a car comes along they fly away.

Perhaps the middle section of blog posts should be relatively boring in order to get rid of the more casual readers.

As you might surmise, I spend an inordinate amount of time every day thinking about both birding and blogging. In fact, since this is such a busy season for us, the only way I can spare the mental bandwidth to indulge in bird blogging at all is to somehow incorporate test prep. Perhaps we’re alike in that.
