A Birder’s Guide to The Wilderness Act

10,000 Birds

Birders who venture off the beaten path may run across a sign like the one above. But what is “wilderness” and how does it differ from any other federal land? The short answer is that wilderness areas are part of the National Wilderness Preservation System and they are protected by the Wilderness Act of 1964. Simply put, wilderness areas are the most protected public lands in America.

Birding around Xining, Qinghai

10,000 Birds

Early August is a bit of a dead time for birding in Shanghai unless you like your birds as little white spots at the far end of a telescope. So, I asked around and was told that Qinghai is the place to go to for birds in China in August. Going to Qinghai usually starts with a flight to Xining, the capital. The city has some attractions, given its long history on the silk road and its significant share of minorities, but looks rather like a thoughtless agglomeration of charmless medium-high build

Patience in Birding

10,000 Birds

The slate of birds available to the ardent birder in a particular place is a constant cycle of regulars, not-so-regulars, visitors, rarities, and vagrants. We’re always thoroughly entertained and occupied. For me, my personal ethos is simply to see what’s available. Yup, that’s it. I chased birds for a few years when I first got started, but my laziness eventually took over.

Salvias and the Hummers that Love Them

10,000 Birds

During my time writing for 10,000 Birds, I have made no secret of my love for salvias — especially Michoacán’s native salvias. In fact, I have nine species of salvias growing in my small garden as I write these lines: six natives I grew from cuttings ( Salvias mexicana , purpurea , longistyla , patens , and two I have yet to ID), one grown from seed from my sister’s garden in California ( Salvia leucantha ), one purchased in a local nursery ( Salvia greggii ), and one purchased

Birding around Qinghai Lake, China

10,000 Birds

Located about 2 hours from Xining by car, Qinghai Lake is China’s largest lake. It has some interesting characteristics – its high elevation at about 3200 meters, its salt content, and its alkalinity (as it does not have any outflows). Access to the lakeshore and its surrounding wetlands can be difficult in many locations – most of the coastline is blocked off.

Brown Quail around Broome

10,000 Birds

We are lucky around Broome that we can quite easily observe Brown Quail. They like overgrown grassy areas and there are plenty of those areas around Broome. The environment at this time of year is mostly dry grass and the Brown Quail are busy digging up the grass seeds. You are most likely to encounter Brown Quail as a chance encounter as you accidentally disturb them when you traverse their habitat.

Rainy Day? New Hometown Birding Spot!

10,000 Birds

It was a rainy Sunday. After a day full of house projects, my husband, toddler, and I felt jittery, desperate to be outside before sunset ended the weekend. But where to go? We opted for a local green-space we had often driven by but had never visited: Tom Brown Park. After doing a quick scan of the constellation of recreational fields, a disk golf course, playground, and pond, I didn’t have high hopes for the nature viewing in this busy area. .

Death of the Downy Woodpecker, or, Dunlin at 10,000 Feet: The Eighth Annual Queens County Bird Club Big Sit

10,000 Birds

This past Saturday, 09 October 2021, was the Eighth Annual Queens County Bird Club Big Sit. As regular readers of 10,000 Birds know, the Big Sit is my favorite birding event of the year, narrowly edging out the Christmas Bird Count. As always, we held our sit high atop Battery Harris at Fort Tilden on the Rockaway Peninsula in Queens. This vantage point is advantageous in that we can see the ocean, we can see the bay, and, when the winds are right, we can see migrants streaming through.
