Come@Me: Hummingbirds are Jerks

10,000 Birds

Hummingbirds. Those lovely feathered sprites that visit our gardens, feeders, and even take part in adorable bathing practices on odd, red vases. So easy to love, admire and cherish! And yet…take a closer look and you won’t find any hummingbirds acting like cute little singing birds ready to perch on the finger of some lost, happy princess.

Birding Beyond Lake Yojoa and Panacam Lodge

10,000 Birds

The birding around Lago de Yojoa in Honduras is frankly phenomenal, as I learned during a June 2018 birding junket organized by the Instituto Hondureño de Turismo. We spent two blissful days exploring both the waders and wildlife of Lake Yojoa and the tropical splendor of PANACAM Lodge. But our adventurous group, led by Oliver Komar and Yobani A. Peraza , could not sit still knowing that so many tasty target birds could be found within easy driving distance.

The Danube Backwaters

10,000 Birds

As you know, I started to bird from a canoe, exploring the Danube backwaters in Belgrade, Serbia. Those foreland backwaters stretch all along the left/northern bank, between the river and the levee, somewhere only 450 m / 1500 ft wide, but somewhere reaching even 2100 m / 7000 ft. It is a fascinating world of swampy forests of willow and poplar, inhabited by Black Storks , White-tailed Eagles , Eastern Olivaceous and Icterine Warblers (above), among more than 200 other species.

The Feather Thief: A Book Review

10,000 Birds

There’s more than one obsession in The Feather Thief , and though the mind boggles at the lengths to which the obsessed go in order to satiate their passions, as a birder I couldn’t help but feel a sense of kinship. And, rage and frustration. The Feather Thief is the story of Edwin Rist, a 20-year old flutist from New York State, who, on a June evening in 2009, broke into the British Museum of Natural History at Tring, grabbed 299 bird skins, and, ignoring an almost priceless elephant portfolio

Horus Aged Ales: Osprey’s Fresh Catch

10,000 Birds

One of my early memories of birds is the abundance of Ospreys I saw after moving from Syracuse, New York downstate to eastern Long Island at the age of eight. I know that Ospreys nest in upstate central New York, but if I saw them there as a child, I don’t recall it (though my father will probably remind me that we did). But “fish hawks” were impossible to ignore on Long Island, conspicuously perched atop their roadside nesting platforms high above the coastal saltmarshes and brackish cattail st

Come@Me Week Round Up

10,000 Birds

Another amazing 10,000 Birds theme week is in the tank. Joining Poop Week , Wood-Warbler Week , Bird Love Week , and other theme weeks lost in the ether, Come@Me Week was an unbridled success, causing arguments, hurt feelings, bar fights, and at least one felony during its week-long run. We hope you enjoyed it! (And that you didn’t get too rowdy in the comment section here or on Facebook.).

Best Bird of the Weekend (Last of June 2018)

10,000 Birds

The compelling contrarian positions put forth during Come@Me Week undoubtedly had many of you questioning your core beliefs about birds, birding, conservation, and even basic biology. Fortunately, when we need to clear our heads and reconnect with what makes sense, we can turn to birds, birding, conservation, and basic biology, in a matter of speaking.

Pied Oystercatcher breeding season 2018

10,000 Birds

This year is the eighteenth year since we discovered our first Pied Oystercatcher nest on Cable Beach in Broome and it didn’t take us long to realise that they are not at all successful at raising young due to egg and chick predation. Thankfully due to the long life span of this bird species the population appears to be somewhat stable at the moment.

Sales and Marketing Management

Author: Tim Houlihan Sales professionals, management types and overburdened workhorses, this message is for you. You may think you’re God’s gift to multitasking, but the 60,000-year-old human brain in your cranium has not evolved for multitasking.

Week 20: Doha, and on to Scotland!

10,000 Birds

After leaving Africa, I was fearing a real let down in my birding. New Zealand had been good, Australia was incredible, and South Africa was almost life altering. Where do you go from there? Well, for us, we went to Doha, Qatar. Probably not on most birders Top Ten list, but it was a natural layover for us, we had some great friends living there, and there is a decent list of birds to be added to any year list.

Come@Me: Bird Names Suck

10,000 Birds

Common names for birds really suck and should be reviewed to make them universally relevant. Why for example, call a gull with a brown head, “ Black-headed Gull “? And why use religious honorifics such as Cardinal, Bishop, or Priest to distinguish sectarian divisions in the bird world? Did you know for example that the Barnacle Goose was so-named because scientists originally believed that it hatched from a barnacle?
