Can Birds Be Safe? If Only.

10,000 Birds

'Another product has been invented that could cut down on the number of wild birds killed by domestic cats. Created by Nancy Brennan, Birdsbesafe looks like a stiff, brightly-colored Elizabethan collar – not the long plastic post-surgical cones that pets occasionally have to wear, but a small donut that fits around the cat’s neck without getting in the way.

Champions of the Flyway – the Dakar Rally of Birding

10,000 Birds

'I’ve just returned from a trip to Israel and I feel like I’ve run 300 miles in a week…in the blazing sun…uphill…with no water…and carrying a one hundred pound sandbag. In reality I’ve returned from filming the second Champions of the Flyway Bird Race. And I had it easy. Compared to the 135 participants of this, arguably the most grueling 24-hour birding competition in the world.

Birding on Steroids or the Kerkini Lake in 10 Pictures

10,000 Birds

Instead of waiting for the spring to come to me, I prefer to travel south to greet it. (One may also read this as “those who paddle their own canoe do not have to wait for their ship to come in.”) This time I was lucky enough to join a fam trip organised by Natural Greece, an ecotourism company from Athens, and spend a few days at my favourite Kerkini Lake, which you already birded through my bins ( April and September ).

Volcanic Birding on Irazu, Costa Rica

10,000 Birds

'Irazu is the name of a volcano in Costa Rica. It’s sort of stuck between San Jose and Cartago and since it’s a volcano, it doesn’t stop at dominating the skyline. In fitting with proper volcanic decorum, it must loom or lord over a nearby populace with either a hint or a fistful of menace. Fortunately, for the moment, Irazu’s menace is diminished to a very welcoming hint.

Pine Warbler in Forest Park, Queens, New York

A couple of Pine Warblers were being incredibly cooperative at Forest Park, the sun was shining, and I had my digiscoping rig with me. Numerous times the birds came so close that I could not focus. I actually decoupled my scope from the tripod and lied down on the ground and got some shots that way.

Ridiculous Views of Some Birds in Costa Rica

'When I was in high school, We used the word “ridiculous” to describe anything perceived to be foolish, beyond fun, and/or at the upper levels of crazy. It was somewhat synonymous with today’s “epic”, and went way beyond the lackluster “swell” of the ancient first few decades of the twentieth century. I say all of this because I am about to talk about and show some ridiculous looks at members of the Costa Rican avifauna.

What is the State Bird of North Carolina?

10,000 Birds

When birders in the eastern United States see a flash of red up in the canopy or deep inside nearby bushes, more likely than not those crimson feathers belong to the iconic Northern Cardinal. Perhaps it was their flashy color or the males’ tall crest that attracted the legislature to the bird, because in 1943 the Northern Cardinal became the official state bird of North Carolina.

They’re hard to see, but so are rails, and hardly anyone gives a crap about rails.
