Conservation efforts are crucial to ensure that future generations get to experience the awe of seeing these incredible eagles soaring through the skies. Watching a Golden Eagle in its natural habitat, gliding with grace and dominating the skies, is an experience that leaves you awestruck. Golden Eagle Species Name: Aquila chrysaetos.

It is my opinion from personal experience that there is really no point in buying the BTX without the extender. The BTX system stored in the Swarovski BP 30 backpack together with the PTH tripod head Secondly, it is very heavy and cumbersome which is to be expected of course.

I, of course, love a good river delta. You can get a sense of the breadth of my European birding experience by how many of my lifers have the word “Common” in their names. I also enjoyed seeing some old friends, always an interesting experience when one has travelled to the other side of the world.

It’s a rush any new birder experiences: that of every species being a lifer. Once you’ve been around the birding block a few years, your appreciation for the lifer experience deepens greatly. Which is why we all eventually turn to the one way to combine old-birder experience with new-birder opportunities: travel.

We were happy to experience three birds of prey on this jaunt. A Roadside Hawk perched on a post next to, of course, a road. Happily, one of the Seminary students is also a birder, and he walked the grounds with me on my second evening here. And two Ferruginous Pygmy-Owls toot-toot-tooted from the brush.

I experienced this first hand while attending last year’s CBC , but because I’m motivated by feelings I didn’t consider this a true experience. Of course, a major factor in this decision rests in its status as a resident species. Nature is an infinitely unpredictable organism and I’m happy to bird naturally.

When you don’t know anything about babies, the initial 30 days are a crash course in hormones and learning how to take care of a newborn – feeding, diapering, and so much more. Sure, it wasn’t the longest or best birding experience I had ever had, but I proved to myself I could go birding with my baby.

Over the course of the following hour or so we observed many different species *coincidentally* alight on the wall near to the body of the fallen yellowlegs.

There were other birds, of course – Brown-throated Parakeets that flew past low and quickly threw us for a heart-pounding loop. Nevertheless, it was still a magical experience sitting in the jungle.
