Birding Mumbai

10,000 Birds

These days, when I have to travel somewhere for business, I try to add a day for birding. Sometimes, this can be surprisingly fruitful, even without leaving the city limits. Despite being crowded, Mumbai is a place worth such an exploration. On a February day this year, I went to three different places there – Bhandup Pumping Station, Borivili NP, and Mahim Nature Park.

Everything new is Old (World) again

10,000 Birds

Some of my readers may recall that my wife and I went to Spain a few months ago. That was a work trip, although I still managed to find a few mornings to bird. This month we were able to go to Europe again, for our first real vacation in a few years. So you can bet some more birding was in order. An October trip meant many European birds had already flown south for the winter.

Best Bird of the Weekend (Last of October 2019)

10,000 Birds

October birding can either surprise us or confirm our worst suspicions. How many of you ended this weekend feeling optimistic about your next one?

Bellwoods Brewery: Bring Out Your Dead (2018)

10,000 Birds

I was really looking forward to this week’s installment of Birds and Booze. Last night was Hallowe’en, making tomorrow – in some Christian traditions – All Souls’ Day, the annual “Commemoration of All Faithful Departed”. That’s a somewhat formal, euphemistic name, but in Mexico, it’s known as Día de Muertos – “the day of the dead” – which provides a more direct description of this holiday devoted to mourning and veneration of the deceased.
