Do you love cats? What about food? Do you also like to color? This book combines all of those wonderful things together for a fun coloring experience! The cats take the cake in their “food cosplay”, such as cat sushi.

Beljarica backwaters cover the 900 ha of wilderness on the eastern bank of the Danube, between the river and the embankment, by the suburb of Kovilovo, some 15 kilometres upstream from downtown Belgrade. I have been there several times last month, but barely ever managed to do any proper birding! Mostly, I was showing the area to journalists and talking to cameras.

Author: Kevin F. Davis If a hiring mistake costs you three months’ time, that’s not good. If you don’t realize you made a hiring mistake for a year or two, the damage can be catastrophic. Include a “second hiring date” in your process. I advise companies to have a standard policy that defines the first 90 to 180 days (and maybe a little longer) as a trial period.

There are birders who watch hawks and there are hawk watchers who bird. These, the hawk watchers, are the people who can’t stop watching the skies, even when the view is obstructed by a rainforest canopy or a massive layer of dark-gray clouds, the ones who yell, “Black Hawk!” while pointing to a pinprick in the sun. Raptor identification has developed into a distinct skill, one that has been supported by a steady stream of guides written by some of the best writers and experts aroun

The last 30 days have been a real challenge, both personally as well as in our business. So, it was with that in mind, that we loaded the truck up, and rented a beautiful little casita in the Oceanside village of Cabo Pulmo. This little town of about 100 is located right next to what is considered the largest coral reef in all of Mexico [link] which is very well protected with in the boundaries of a Federal Marine Reserve.

Bird feeding is serious business. The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service estimates that Americans spend nearly $1 billion annually on bird houses, feeders, nest boxes, and baths. Sizable markets attract competition and many companies have turned to a proven way to distinguish their products: innovation. Much of that ingenuity has been directed to a single problem: squirrels.

I bird, therefore I am. Birding defines me, that much is clear. Yet, for the last month and a half I don’t remember doing any birding (my longest pause in the several years, for sure). I was mostly guiding journalists to “ Belgrade Amazon ” and I continue to do so these days. But what happened to birding? Having mobility issues, I bird by car only (or by canoe, but that is another story , of friendship and loss).

So it turns out dogs are useless. Or at least the four dogs in the house I’m staying at in Montana showed no particular reaction to the 5.8 earthquake and series of aftershocks that made the state wobbly in the early hours of Thursday morning. I myself, up too late as usual, noticed a rolling sensation that ended just as I was starting to think that maybe I should be worried, followed by a flurry of Twitter activity as all the nocturnal folks checked in with each other on what had happened

To the north of Kuala Lumpur, is a section of forest, easily accessible from the city. A flight over the forest via Google Earth, shows that quarrying is encroaching into the forest from the north and west and the city is threatening to overwhelm it from the south and east. Go now while the chance is still available. FRIM (Forestry Research Institute of Malaysia) is open to the public who come to bathe in waterfalls, cycle, walk, picnic and attend educational events, but most of this takes part

When it comes to nest construction, few if any birds rival the detail put into their nests, like members of the oriole family. Here in the southern half of the Baja, we have both Hooded and Scott’s Orioles , with the Hooded variety being quite a bit more common. The intricacies that they go to in weaving the nests, pulling thread after thread from the edges of the palms to do the construction with.

One of the best things about our annual Lassen Park campout is that we get to see several species of birds that are rarely, if ever, seen in the Sacramento Valley. Many of those species also nest in the park. According to their website , Lassen Volcanic National Park provides habitat for approximately 216 species of birds in which 96 have been known to actually breed in the park.

Mainland island sanctuaries are popular in New Zealand for any number of reasons. On an island where a major cause of biodiversity loss is from introduced predators, fencing off an area and clearing the predators once is a usually effective method of protecting species where removing the invasive from the whole area isn’t feasible (yet). I’ve written before about such projects in Taranaki and Wellington.

Red-headed Honeyeaters- Myzomela erythrocephala are a small bird that likes to live in the mangrove area around Broome, but you can actually see them quite easily right in town itself if you know where to look. We have on a few occasions had them in our garden, but they are not a common visitor unlike the Brown Honeyeater , Singing Honeyeater , Rufous-throated Honeyeater and the occasional Black-chinned Honeyeater.

It’s 2017 and we have reached the halfway point. If you are doing any sort of year list, you know what I’m talking about and also know that now is the time to take a moment, count up the species, and go over strategies to reach those birding goals for 2017. They can be easy, they might be a challenge, or they may even require super human feats of extra ambition but however those goals might be categorized, make plans now because we have reached the downhill side of the year birding s

A very public individual who shall remain nameless recently targeted my part of the world in a typical rant , disparaging “…an area that just isn’t working like upper New York state, where people are getting very badly hurt (economically).” I had to laugh at that, considering both the vibrant economy and high quality of life here in Upstate New York.

Last week, from Saturday to Monday (15-17 July), we did our annual camping trip with some friends. This year we tried out Mongaup Pond Campground, a state park in the Catskills in Sullivan County. It’s a pretty park, not far off Route 17, but surrounded by miles of forest. And though it was not a birding trip we were out in the woods all day every day so of course I saw some birds.

Rumor has it that we’ve turned a seasonal corner and can expect gradual cooling north of the Equator with commensurate warming to the south. But take rumors like these with a grain of salt, since temps will likely be scorching in temperate zones for at least another month or two. But the advancement of the season does signal shifts in bird behavior, which is, in itself, pretty hot.

Pictorella Mannikins- Heteromunia pectoralis -are a very small bird that inhabits the northern part of Australia and likes tall grass! The tendency for them to be found in tall grass is problematic when it comes to photographing them, but thankfully as seed eaters they need to drink a lot of water. Having found a good place to observe them about forty kilometres from Fitzroy Crossing heading towards Halls Creek a few years ago we have been able to obtain a few photos at the remaining water not f

As with peninsulas and places situated on an isthmus, Costa Rica has more than one coast. In the west, the Pacific splashes against beaches, estuaries, and occasional rocky spots backed by dry forest that transitions into rainforest as we head to the south. Over on the other side of the mountains, the rivers and streams rush their way down slope to eventually get muddy and meander their way to the Atlantic.

There are two kinds of travel in this world: the kind where you get to see great birds and the other kind. Right now, I’m in the middle of the other kind. What a waste! I’m in Boston for a conference and won’t have a chance to enjoy any New England avifauna other than the invasive European species. Corey will likely have better luck at home in NYC.

Summer may be the season that best illustrates the stark difference between being outside and being in position to see interesting birds. Obviously, staying indoors ratchets up the difficulty in bird-spotting quite a bit, but working in your yard on a hot, summer day isn’t much better. What do I need to add to a bird bath to attract shorebirds?

July has settled like a hot, muggy blanket over my part of New York, offering little more than streaky, young American Robins for entertainment. Fortunately, shorebirds are starting to turn up, which just goes to show you that birding is like Mark Twain’s depiction of weather in New England: If you don’t like it now, just wait a few minutes.

These lovely birds are actually quite common, many of which can be seen right along the water front of down town La Paz. Visiting tourists, getingt to enjoy the water front views, small quaint shops, and restaurants, also get to watch the Tri-colored Herons chasing small crabs and fish.

In the summer time before the shorebirds come back the birding can seem a bit slow. Sure, birds are around, especially if you are into fledglings , but the heat of the day and the voracious insects can make even the most dedicated birder start to flag. For hot, sunny days I have perfected the lazy birder’s method of birding. I sit in my car with the driver’s side facing a likely-looking puddle, preferably with the sun shining from the passenger side, and digiscope out my window.

Summer means different things to different communities across the world. The closer to the poles you live, the more likely you lustily embrace this season. Around here, summer features festivals pretty much every single weekend. Diversions like these definitely help get us through the more prosaic birding months. My family and I enjoyed the Corn Hill Festival this weekend, which is definitely one of Rochester’s better events.
