Oh my goodness! I’m writing a blog post! I know, I know, it’s been a long time. But after a couple of exciting visits to mud puddles, which long-time readers of this blog will remember is one of my favorite kinds of birding , I couldn’t resist sharing a few shots of the birds I’ve seen coming in for a drink and a bath. Jochen knows why I thought it was important to share this Yellow-crowned Night-Heron at Big Egg Marsh.

Help is not just on the way, it’s here. If you’ve had an encounter with a wild animal – a bird stunned by hitting a window, a fox hit by a car, or a family of raccoons unexpectedly found residing in your attic – you know how hard it can be to find help. Too often there are endless calls to friends of friends, to veterinarians who actually don’t take wildlife, to “animal control experts” who sound so dodgy you’re not sure you want them to know where you live.
Hummingbirds are natural attention getters. Small as a bug, decorated with iridescent lights, and always in the mood for a fight, how can these real life fairies not take center stage? In Costa Rica, with around 50 hummingbird species on the list, we have our fair share of minute feathered stars. These unreal birds zip through every level of forest, use every habitat, and, like various others of their kind, several are found right in the garden.
I have previously written about the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s estimates regarding the number of birders in the United States. The most recent report was issued in December 2019 and it stated that there were 45 million “birders,” of which 39 million were “around-the-home birders” and 16 million were more active “away-from-home” birders who traveled at least a mile to see birds.
June can be a hit-or-miss month for birding. You may, if fortune favors you, hit good weather or birds. On the other hand, if fate turns fickle, you’ll miss the good stuff entirely. In that sense, June is no different than any other month, right? I’ve continued my inconsistent effort to pick off the species I need for my Monroe County list.
In my last post here , I spoke of a rather odd trend permeating the birdlife here in Trinidad & Tobago. Many species seemed to come in threes, and today I shall continue my examination of these. Three species of antshrikes are resident in T&T. These endearing birds are almost always found in pairs or small family groups, and I often have difficulty deciding which bird to photograph as both males and females are equally beautiful.

Last year there was a spate of books specifically about bird “behavior” – though one might well say that every book about birds, from field guides on up, is about behavior in some way or another. It’s the behavior that makes them fascinating to us. (Well, purely physical attributes play a part, too: they’re pretty good looking.). You can’t say the same about migration: you can’t say that every book about birds is necessarily about migration, for the simple reason that only about 4,000 bird s
True, it’s not even yet midsummer and we’re still more than half a year away from Christmas. But I do have a perfectly valid reason for celebrating Christmas in June with this week’s featured beer, Saint-Médard Cuvée de Noël from the French brewery Brasserie au Baron. It is a Christmas beer, but it’s also named for Saint Medardus, whose feast day is celebrated on June 8 th , which was just this past Tuesday.
One bird species that we occasionally observe around Broome is the Yellow-billed Spoonbill, but we had not seen one for a few years until recently. There are Royal Spoonbills that frequent the Broome Poo Ponds and the shores of Roebuck Bay, but not the Yellow-billed Spoonbill. On a recent camping trip where as usual we took the “road less travelled” we stopped at the Fortescue River to go bush-walking.
May 29th was my 63rd birthday, and I got the best birthday present possible. It rained! And it wasn’t a passing shower; no, it was the kind of rain that suggested that our summer monsoon season might be starting. Then it rained on the 30th, 31st, 1st of June, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th. So that would be a yes! In extreme wet-dry climates like the one we have in central Mexico, those first summer rains are absolutely magical.
In Shanghai, May is the month with a chance to see the regional popstars of the birding world – male Japanese and Amur Paradise Flycatchers. Why anyone would want to undertake major migratory trips with a tail much longer than the body clearly escapes me, but then I do not understand people taking caravans on vacation either. While rarer globally, the Japanese Paradise Flycatcher is somewhat easier to see in Shanghai.

OK, hands up, I confess! Events overtook me again and the month, nay the season changed before my clicking finger retrieved the list for May. But all is not lost. Most… , but not all. Ebird still allows me the facility to collate the year list and feature the birds that were added to it during May. This may not be the high standard that you might expect from 10,000 Birds, but it’s what you are getting.
