Trinidad’s Coastal Forest

10,000 Birds

While the combination of the words “coast” and “forest” may conjure images of tidal mudflats and mangroves or even coconut trees, the northern coastline of Trinidad features tropical rainforest that plunges steeply into the bejeweled waters of the Caribbean Sea. Running end-to-end across the northernmost section of the island, Trinidad’s Northern Range is the final outcrop of the mighty Andes after it bends eastward through Venezuela.

Birding the Trinity Hills

10,000 Birds

It may seem like an unnecessarily recurring theme in my posts about birding within Trinidad & Tobago, but the more I write on the subject the more it becomes apparent that the number three must have some significance, somewhere. There’s an unofficial series of posts on species of birds that occur in threes in T&T (see: bitterns , trogons , antshrikes , spinetails , manakins , hermits , honeycreepers , and resident warblers ).

Castellare di Castellina: Chianti Classico (2019)

10,000 Birds

Despite being debased and reduced to a mere gastronomic buzzword by American chains of Italian-esque eateries, the offerings of dubious submarine sandwich shops, and bastardized and slapped onto corporate supermarket products labels, the word “Tuscan” can still denote genuine gastronomic excellence in a country of proud regional food traditions. La cocina toscana is famed for dishes with stark peasant origins – clever creations like ribollita , pappa al pomodoro , and panzanella , all delicious

My 10 Best Birds for 2021

10,000 Birds

Last week, Corey opened the “Top Ten Birds for 2021” season here at 10,000 Birds. He lamented that he had barely been able to travel during the year — only one trip from New York to California, poor boy — and then went on to give an impressive list of vagrants and first-of-state birds. Corey, I can do you one better. I have not left the state of Michoacán since January of 2020.

A Pocket Guide to Pigeon Watching: Getting to Know the World’s Most Misunderstood Bird: A Book Review by a Pigeon Cynic

10,000 Birds

The American Birding Association has declared that 2022 is the year of the Burrowing Owl, but if Rosemary Mosco has her way, it will also be the year of the Rock Pigeon. Yes, sure, Rock Pigeons are not a vulnerable species, unless you count the number of times they have been mocked, scorned, and shooed away. They’re apparently not a sensitive species either, because this derision doesn’t seem to bother them at all!

First Bird of the Year in Costa Rica

10,000 Birds

2022 is here, the future is now! I look at that date and as with many others who were born in or before the 70s, I wonder where the time has gone and realize we are living in times that were often illustrated with utopian visions of flying cars and world peace. Not quite there yet… perhaps some day but not until most of us humans live in a sustainable manner that does not excavate and alter basic ecosystem functions we depend on.

Birding Shanghai in December 2021

10,000 Birds

Here in Shanghai, December is the month that a birder’s addiction cannot be satisfied by the increasingly meager assortment of species at Nanhui – we have to go to other places as well. Such as Tianmashan, where a steeply inclined pagoda still has not fallen down. To be safe, however, Black-throated Bushtits at Tianmashan already try to steer a few meters away from it.

Little Corellas in Broome

10,000 Birds

There are large flocks of Little Corellas in Broome that relocate both morning and evening. They mostly fly over the native bush out the back of our property, but when the native trees are in seed they land. The Little Corellas crunch away at the seeds and continue on their journey. Every now and then we have a pair of Little Corellas land in our garden where there are also native plants and a reliable source of water all year round.

What’s Up with the ABA?  Part II (Some Suggestions)

10,000 Birds

I recently wrote about the ABA , particularly the lack of communication regarding the search for a new president, its financial condition, and its role in the birding community. As a longtime ABA member and sometimes contributor to ABA publications, I want the ABA to succeed, but it will have to evolve to fit the times. In my view, the ABA is at a crossroads and must reassess its role in the birding community.

Hornbills of South Africa

10,000 Birds

It is now almost exactly two years that I last was outside of China. At some point, my stock of memories of birds seen outside of China will be used up, I am afraid. But for now, I still have the hornbills I saw in South Africa a few years ago. “I’ll always have Paris”, I guess. The bill of the African Gray Hornbill looks like African art, with its carved white ridges.

New Year’s Eve early morning rain

10,000 Birds

There is nothing better than waking up to the sound of rain, especially when it has been so many months without rainfall. At 1:30am on New Year’s Eve the overnight temperature suddenly dropped from 30c to 27c and the raindrops fell! Instead of the torrential rain we often get in our wet season it rained steadily for about an hour. It dropped around 15mm of rain depending on what part of town you live in.

Australian White Ibis in Broome

Australian White Ibis are one of three Ibis species that we observe here in Broome. They are regularly observed at the Poo Ponds and also along the coast and the local parks. When we receive our wet season rain the Australian White Ibis can easily be observed feeding on the open plains out of town, but at the moment they are taking advantage of the local parks and the coastline.

The Warbler Brewery – Moon & Back Imperial Stout

10,000 Birds

Last week we talked about the human “snowbird” migration, in which thousands of northerners flock south to the Sun Belt of the United States to escape the frozen wasteland their home states and provinces will turn into from about November through March or later. But the bird featured on this week’s beer has perfected migration to such a degree that it gets to enjoy two whole summers each and every year of its life, as well as more sunshine than perhaps any other creature on the planet.

While this winter got off to a late start with a relatively mild December in eastern New York, in just the past several days we’ve had a crippling ice storm, a day in which the mercury couldn’t make it out of the single digits (in degrees Fahrenheit), and then a storm that brought several inches of snow – and that’s by no means the end of it for a

There is a car-park close to the walkway and you are able to get great views of any birds in the area and any clouds that are billowing away.
