The Owls of Bentsen-Rio Grande Valley State Park, Texas

10,000 Birds

In the very back of my first bird identification field guide ( Audubon , green, Eastern US) there were several blank pages. Since neither the Internet nor eBird were even a thought, that’s where I collected the place names of my birding bucket list. Along with Hawk Mountain and the Platte River, there were two destinations in Texas near the top of the page – Padre Island National Seashore and the Rio Grande Valley.

Birding Deliblato Sands: What I have seen and what I haven’t

10,000 Birds

Turning off the asphalt, I enter the Deliblato Sands steppe, between the Danube and the Carpathian Mountains in the northeast of Serbia, where the first bird to greet me is a Northern Wheatear , followed by a Crested Lark. The wires are decorated with only about a dozen European Bee-eaters : is it still too early, or has the local colony dwindled? Deliblato Sands comprises an elongated elliptical tract of sand, spreading north from the Danube, about 35 km / 20 mi in length and 15 km / 10 mi in w

Endangered Species Act: Potential Downlisting for Hawaiian Goose (nene)

10,000 Birds

More than 50 years ago, the Hawaiian Goose (Nene) was one of the first birds listed under the Endangered Species Act, part of the inaugural “ Class of 1967 ”. Due to substantial improvements in its population and its prospects, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has proposed downlisting it from “endangered” to “threatened.”. Under the Endangered Species Act, any listing, uplisting, downlisting, or removal from a list requires a formal “rulemaking” process.

Best Bird of the Weekend (First of May 2018)

10,000 Birds

This past weekend marked one of the peak moments of migratory bird activity globally, at least in an aggregate sense. Did you notice? Family obligations kept me on the sidelines during Global Big Day, but I did manage to sneak in a little birding before traveling. Black-throated Blue Warblers may not be rare in my part of the world, but they’re still one of my favorite songbirds.

Kiuchi Brewery: Hitachino Nest White Ale

10,000 Birds

We had a dusting of snow here at the end of April in Albany, New York – and two days later we set a record high for May Day with the mercury maxing out at 90 degrees Fahrenheit. The erratic weather certainly presents some challenges in the seasonal selection of adult beverages, but I think it’s safe to say – with winter mostly likely behind us for good – that we can ease into refreshing summer thirst-quenchers, lawnmower beers, and summertime wines for the foreseeable future.

Welcome Angela Minor, A New Beat Writer on 10,000 Birds!

10,000 Birds

It’s been eight months since we added our last new beat writer, Tristan Lowery , to our roster of exceptional talent here at 10,000 Birds. I’ll blame the delay on all of us trying out too many of his suggestions. Maybe it wasn’t a good idea to add a “ Birds and Booze ” beat to the blog. But we’ve recovered from our drunken stupor, well, most of us have. ( Jochen is still convinced Black Woodpeckers exist and Yellow-crowned Night-Herons don’t.

Scarlet and Indigo at the Forest Park Waterhole

10,000 Birds

Nothing makes me happier in the midst of spring migration than spending some quality time at the Forest Park waterhole watching a variety of brightly colored birds come in to bathe and drink. This evening after work was particularly pleasing when a variety of wood-warblers were making regular visits, to say nothing of orioles, tanagers, and buntings.

Australian Shelduck near Broome

10,000 Birds

Early this year Broome received an exceptional amount of rain as a result of tropical cyclone activity and the highways going north and south remain flooded to the edge of the bitumen in places even though we have had no rain for a couple of months now. Access to the local ephemeral lakes remains closed to vehicles, which means the only access is on foot and as such we are discovering the bird life to be particularly good when we do good bush walking into these areas.

Week Fourteen: The Center of Australia, and Sydney Part #1

10,000 Birds

And the air miles, and highway miles just keep racking up. This week finds us flying from Melbourne, Australia, to Alice Springs, in the center of this incredibly large country. We then picked up our RV and then drove to Yulara, and the mighty, mythical, some say spiritual, Ayres Rock. After 5 days in the “Red Center” called so, because of the amazing red color of the soil, we are then off to Sydney.

Corey smashed the world record for contributing to the list when he shared 29 lists in just 2 minutes. Redgannet retains the world record for staying up late to collate them.
