10,000 Birds

This post does not contain serious eye-candy nor riveting text. In fact it slipped me to upload this earlier as I was completely swamped with some other (bird-related) responsibilities. Over the past few years we have been rewilding our yard here in the suburbs of the island of Trinidad. Some of you who may have been either following my posts on this topic or undertaking a similar adventure yourself would be well acquainted with the exhilaration of some fruit of that labor.

I got back into birding less than a decade ago, long after moving to Mexico in 1983. So I can hardly speak with authority on birding in the U.S. But even I have heard of how exciting southeast Arizona is for American birders. You fly to Phoenix, or Tucson, rent a car (or ride a bike cross-country, if you are Noah Strycker), drive to the tiny towns of Patagonia and Sierra Vista, and voila!

In April 2012 I wrote about A close encounter with a Wedge-tailed Eagle. I can’t use that heading again! This time the Wedge-tailed Eagle was closer and only involved ourselves and no other creatures. We were walking to the beach along a track and we suddenly got “shadowed” by something very large. We soon realised a juvenile Wedge-tailed Eagle was coming in to land just in front of us.

Balangshan is a mountainous area in Sichuan complete with a pass at an altitude of 4500 meters. And it is a great place for birding. In fact, it is so good that it merits two separate blog posts. This is the second part. White-browed Tit Warblers breed in high-altitude scrub, with a preference for junipers. Apparently, they are particularly sought after by Japanese birders – no wonder as the Japanese seem to like all things cute.

Rose-crowned Fruit-dove. I am a fan of all birding but I particularly like urban birding. Urban areas offer the bird watcher those species that have survived and thrived in artificial environments; often when they had no real right to. Urban birds are therefore bold, adaptable generalists. Pied Butcherbird – a common urban species. Urban birds are educators, providing for all that encounter them, symbols of the greater wild ‘out there’ For me they are nostalgic, as they are the
