10,000 Birds readers love terrific bird photography but hate bird abuse. That’s why reader Charlie Gordon wanted to share this disturbing story. Charlie is an amateur nature photographer from Singapore who has been birdwatching for close to 15 years now. He was first drawn to birding after realising that even the most urbanised spaces could harbour relatively high levels of bird diversity, and now spends time exploring other birding habitats around the region.

Birding for the Curious: The Easiest Way for Anyone to Explore the Incredible World of Birds by Nate Swick brings birding back to its roots—a simple, joyous way to enjoy nature using our eyes, ears, hands (for sketching), and brain. Not that Nate eschews technology—he unabashedly urges beginning birders to eBird—but he views it as one element of a total package that anybody can engage in if they have that one ingredient—a willingness to learn.

Entering some old data at eBird, I found myself puzzled with one record. I was canoeing the Danube backwaters inside Belgrade, Serbia, on a warm and sunny November day when a Northern Goshawk tried to catch one of two Pygmy Cormorants. The year was 1996 and it must have been quite a sight – if I only could remember it! But no, that sighting is no longer in my head, only on paper.

Winding between the old Olives, the road ahead of me veers into the hills of the Pelion Peninsula, near the harbour town of Volos. A movement in the corner of my eye… a buzzard. I stop the car and reach for binoculars, asking myself what other drivers think of a car parked in the middle of the road, with an elbow and binoculars protruding through the window.

What can be done to solve the intractable problem of wildlife and feral cats? Ask Peter Paonessa. Peter, who lives in New York State, noticed two feral cats living near his house. He trapped them, provided veterinary care for them, and released them … into his basement. Prior to their release he arranged his basement with litter boxes, a bed, and places to hide.

Big Years are an inheritantly unfair competition for a variety of reasons. Of course they have nothing to do with the quality or knowledge of a birder since they are primarily a function of a) dedication b) time c) money and d) a good internet connection.

I spent the early morning hours the last two days on the beach in the eastern Rockaways, taking advantage of slanted light and cooperative birds. With shorebird migration still in full swing and lingering gulls, terns, and skimmers, it is a digiscoper’s bonanza, with the most difficult decision generally being where to point the objective end of my Swarovski.

The Mourning Dove ( Zenaida macroura) is among the most abundant and widespread terrestrial birds endemic to North and Middle America. Their habitats vary widely in both rural and urban landscapes; open habitats are preferred and the species generally shuns only extensively forested areas and wetlands 1. This gentle bird frequents bird feeders and readily nests almost anywhere.

If you live in the eastern United States, chances are you’re familiar with the clear, loud, teakettle teakettle teakettle song that reverberates through woods and thickets. This unique sound belongs to the Carolina Wren , who unsurprisingly is the state bird of South Carolina! Adopted as the state bird in 1948 , the Carolina Wren actually superseded another species: the Northern Mockingbird.

The Squirrel Cuckoo is the most common and widespread of all New World cuckoos. Wherever this cuckoo occurs, it never fails to be center of attention, even for those who don’t pay much attention to nature and birds. Photo: Christoph Diewald (Flickr). The Squirrel Cuckoo is more often seen as it flies from tree to tree or across a clearing in the forest.

With fall migration well underway everywhere, it’s a good time to see what’s flying in bird news. Prothonotary Warblers (like the dapper bird above captured for posterity by Corey) should carry frequent-flier cards—a recent Audubon-led study found that one geolocator-toting individual racked up more than 5,000 miles in eight months.

This is a Dunnock. It does not usually rate high on peoples’ Western Palearctic wish-lists, but Prunella modularis is a dapper little bird with some fascinating habits. Of olde, it was known as the Hedge Sparrow to separate it from the House and Tree Sparrows. Now it is classified with the Accentors. Confusion with the sparrows is understandable, given the plumage and their tendency to feed from the ground.

As with every tribe, we have our own set of sayings, slang, and “shop-talk” Many of us talk about twitching, lifers, and sewage ponds with nary a second thought even though such speech outside the birding community would provoke confused glances at best, and, at worst, concerned calls to family members or “the authorities” Our hobby-related lingo also changes by locale.

There’s probably nothing in the birding world that engenders as much ire as the perception of suppression. one of the tenants of our community, and one tightly held by many of us, is that information about unusual birds should be freely accessible. That’s why we have listservs, and rare bird alerts, and the like. When a bird that people want to see is discovered, the idea is that people should get to see it.

A rare bird is one we don’t see very often. However, that doesn’t mean that the bird species in question is necessarily endangered. For example, in Costa Rica, we have Eastern Phoebe on the list because one lone, very lost (or extremely adventurous) individual took a really big detour at Pismo Beach instead of making a short flight to wintering grounds much closer to home.

Did you see the supermoon eclipse last night? If you didn’t, you missed something very special. I would lay odds that we birders geek out to all manner of natural phenomena at a higher rate than almost any other group. What do you think? The winds this weekend in western New York must have been favorable for migration, because the only nonresident I could track down was a Swainson’s Thrush.

Gulls have always been a challenge to me. Maybe it’s because I don’t see them often, or seek them out, or even try to better my gull ID skills. It just seems so challenging. I mean you have two year gulls, three year gulls and even gulls that take four years to mature, and the plumage of all these species changes as they mature. On top of that, they occur in breeding and non-breeding plumage!
