Stilts on Parade

10,000 Birds

Or perhaps, “A Parade on Stilts”? “Stilts on Stilts”, even? After 38 years of life in Mexico, I rarely have the sort of stomach trouble tourists supposedly get here. Truth to be told, I didn’t have much of that trouble even in my first years. My first trip into non-touristy Mexico, I was so worried about the Tijuana Two-Step that, let’s just say, I had the opposite problem for a week.

Herdade do Esporão Bico Amarelo Vinho Verde (2019)

10,000 Birds

Now that it’s officially summer (in the Northern Hemisphere, at least), it’s time to cool off with some lighter, more refreshing wines. As with our last Birds and Booze post , we’re in Portugal yet again, this time revisiting what is perhaps the world’s most quenching style of wine: vinho verde. I wish I could find more bottles of vinho verde with birds on their labels, because it’s a wine I’d happily drink all sweltering summer long.

The Top 5 Avian Ambassadors of Costa Rica

10,000 Birds

If the avian realm had self-conscious, talking ambassadors, “spokebirds”, which species would partake in birding conferences? Which would travel to tourism conventions, give fun presentations and hand out cultural knick-knacks? Would Barred Owls chuckle and admit that, for the record, “No, we really aren’t saying ‘Who cooks for you’?

Best Bird of the Weekend (Last of June 2021)

10,000 Birds

In the U.S., the end of June feels like the official beginning of the summer birds have already committed to months ago. We’re heading into some slow birding, so start coming up with good ideas for the absence of many good birds. My strategy for managing the summer slump has been to chase county birds. Common Gallinule is inexplicably uncommon in the greater Rochester area but does pop up at a couple of reliable spots.

“Getting Closer” — a book review

10,000 Birds

Those birders averse to using the phrase “seriously and irredeemably cute” to describe a wild bird – such people do exist, and are entitled to their linguistic crotchets – may have to change their way of thinking if they see the several photos of the Tomtit in Paul Sorrell’s splendid new book, Getting Closer: Rediscovering nature through bird photography. .

Birding the humid subtropical Europe

10,000 Birds

Here along the banks of the Danube, with Central Europe at one and the Balkans at the other bank, mid-summer is a tricky part of the year if you are a birder. The sun rises a few minutes before 5 a.m. and the crack of dawn starts by 4:15 a.m. already, so I am waking up at 3:30 a.m. to be out there on time. That early, the air temperature is still close to 20°C/68°F, but in only a few short hours it will be close to thirty, to reach more than 35°C/95°F by mid-day.

Hiding in plain sight

10,000 Birds

We went bush-walking down a dirt road near the Fortescue River last month to see what bird-life was about. It was windy and cool, so we wrapped up and walked down the road for a couple of hours. There were plenty of small family groups of White-winged Fairywrens and Purple-backed Fairywrens. We were not walking fast, because there were too many birds to enjoy.
