Birding without a phone

10,000 Birds

If you are old enough, you will remember birding without a phone? Not too long ago, it was the norm. Then I started to carry a phone just in case my car stopped or something.

When Birds Are Near: Dispatches From Contemporary Writers

10,000 Birds

There are owls in New York City. Big owls: Barred Owls on Riverside Drive and down the path from Harlem Meer, a Great Horned Owl in Central Park’s Ramble. They are the city’s latest, maybe only, celebrity media sensation, and photographs show crowds of New Yorkers craning their necks up as far as their masks allow, holding phones at arm’s length, using opera glasses and huge binoculars that remind me of the ones my dad used at the racetrack.

10,000 Birds

I hope all of our American friends had a splendid Thanksgiving and extended weekend. Isn’t it funny how we call this holiday Turkey Day even though most barnyard poultry probably hate it? If gobblers could vote, they’d likely promote Tofurkey Day instead. Whatever you want to call this time of year, it’s blowing beautiful birds to my part of the world.
