Ask any birder–migration is joy. It’s endless frustration that suddenly erupts into wild excitement, a reason to get up in the morning, a goal for the mind and a bandage for the soul as we muddle through winter and pandemic. It is also, as Scott Weidensaul makes clear in his new book, A World on the Wing: The Global Odyssey of Migratory Birds , a phenomenon that demands our close and continuing attention because by observing migration we (1) learn more about the evolutionary adaptati

A cheeky lad, Geoffrey McMullan was regularly subjected to brutal discipline at his English boarding school. He found some solace when, at age eleven, he became entranced with birds – specifically, with a Green Woodpecker — and that sighting, he says, “took me to another, safer world.” . The avian avocation became lifelong for McMullan, including for the 22 years he spent in the British Army (the Royal Regiment of Artillery), from which he retired as a Staff Sergeant, having become by tha

Photographic nature guides have been with us for a long time, but have reached their adulthood only recently. There are some magnificent photos of birds from the early 20th century, magnificent even by today’s standards. However beautiful, they were black and white and not really suitable for bird identification purposes. Then the colour came, but it was quite expensive and while professionals were shooting impressive images, numerous amateurs had to satisfy themselves with way inferior photogra

The beginning of April feels like the real beginning of spring, at least up in the northern latitudes. The plot may unfold painfully slowly, but subtle clues are starting to add up to a massive migration many weeks away. For now, we can find entertainment in the earliest chapters of the season. I knocked down several first birds of spring this weekend (not literally) but will always give Best Bird honors to a Saw-whet Owl , especially one showing as well as the one Ivy and I located at Owl Woods

I will soon be just one year short of Sir Paul McCartney’s mythical musical age (64, that is, not his current age), in which my life will apparently be limited to “mending a fuse” and “going for a ride” So I have indeed begun to question what birding options I will have, when I am no longer able to trek Michoacán’s rugged trails — although all the evidence suggests that day will not arrive until I’m well beyond the age of 64.

It is slightly weird that when I first saw the name of the virus, I misread it as Corvid-19. Is that just a birder thing do you think? A year on I still have to think carefully. There is no escaping the fact that as soon as restrictions are relaxed, infection rates rise again. Please be careful, Corvid is still out there. Our brave beats have been putting themselves at risk for your vicarious listing pleasure and 10 of them submitted 151 checklists for 692 species, 2 of which made it onto the li

The highway heading south from Broome continues to offer great birdwatching opportunities. The landscape remains flooded, so you can only just go to the edge of the bitumen. The traffic has started to increase recently as the weather cools to the south. School holidays have started and everyone has been told to holiday in their own state. We are still all forbidden from leaving Australia and most people are cautious about going interstate in case the borders get closed again.
