Bird Therapy

10,000 Birds

“I am not a psychologist, but I portray one in my role as the pastor of a small church.” Actually, my wife and I have a fairly deep understanding of counselling techniques — which is a good thing, because studies show that much counselling and mental health work occurs in church settings. Many people are more comfortable speaking to a pastor than to a psychologist or psychiatrist.

Best Bird of the Weekend (Second of September 2021)

10,000 Birds

And just like that, migration is upon us. Actually, many birds started their seasonal peregrination weeks ago and may have many more weeks ahead until they’ve reached their destinations. Migration is meaningful to those of us who appreciate when non-local birds invade our local airspace, so make the most of this one. Most of the birds I spotted this weekend are the same species I’ll be hanging out with all winter.

Birding Mengbishan, Sichuan, China

10,000 Birds

Mengbishan is about five hours away from Balangshan by car, on a road that is partly excellent, partly horrible. The horrible essentially meaning half-an-hour delays for construction while the road is being upgraded. As often in China, the choice seems to be between terrible infrastructure and almost no people or great roads accompanied by caravans of tour buses.

Flycatchers in the Cocoa

10,000 Birds

When out birding, I prefer completely wild habitat. There is something about a mature rainforest, for example, that cannot be replicated by any human. Reforested areas may come close, but there is a feeling that weathering the passage of time engenders. Humans have altered their habitat for hundreds of years, creating various new habitats that some aspects of nature have come to colonize.

Pied Oystercatchers don’t give up!

10,000 Birds

This year, like every year, the Pied Oystercatchers have not given up on trying to successfully breed along our coast here in Broome. The breeding season started early this year with the first eggs laid at the end of May. This pair of Pied Oystercatchers have incubated two clutches of eggs and had chicks for a few days on both occasions. They are currently making nest scrapes once again, so maybe it will be third time lucky.

Administrative Procedure for Birders II: Duck Stamp Rulemaking (Again)

10,000 Birds

Last year, I wrote about the rulemaking process used by the Trump Administration to change the requirements of the art contest for the Federal Duck Stamp. The change was to “permanently” require a mandatory hunting element in each submission. This year, the Biden Administration used the same administrative process to undo that “permanent” change. * * *.
