The Six Good Birds of Christmas

10,000 Birds

2018 is about to end. Checking my annual list, I am where I usually am at this time of year: several species short of 200. And although half of them are within reach, I don’t really have the time to pursue them. Still, this way or another, the year is ending with some glorious species, e.g. a rare Greater Spotted Eagle. Usually only several birds overwinter in Serbia – the biggest count ever was less than 10.

Where Are You Birding This Fourth Weekend of December 2018?

10,000 Birds

While most of the world’s avian interest turns to colly birds, French hens, and partridges in pear trees , some enlightened souls appreciate birds for more than strictly utilitarian reasons. During this season and every other, being a birder is awesome because our gifts keep on giving! Weather permitting, I’ll be rambling out in search of winter ducks or to see if I can fill in any last holes on a terrific 2018 year list.

The Little Big Year-Week 44: Off to the islands ‘Mon

10,000 Birds

The crunch is on, and with less than two weeks left in the year, we are trying to squeeze out as many more species as possible. Last week, we quite impulsively jumped in a rental car and drove 2600 miles round trip to south Texas to pick up 34 new species. That was the best possible spot we could find from our Tucson base, and given our badly stressed budget.

All of a quiver

10,000 Birds

www.eBird.org has been my “go to” birding software ever since Corey slapped me for getting hysterical over a Blue-winged Warbler at Mount Auburn Cemetery in Boston. Having found what I took to be a noteworthy bird, I wanted to publicise it, but was not sure how that might best be accomplished. I contacted Corey, who checked it out on the barchart for the eBird Hotspot and was able to tell me that a Blue-winged Warbler was not as special as I had imagined.

10,000 Birds

On December 7th an odd looking Peregrine Falcon was observed in Broome at the Sports Ova l. In Australia we often observe Peregrine Falcons and they are the subspecies Falco peregrinus macropus.

Bellwoods Brewery: Barn Owl No. 14

10,000 Birds

It’s a sometimes-painful fact of life that some fruits are easier to cope with as food than others. This condition applies to making fermented beverages from fruit as well, no matter whether the fruit in question is to become wine, beer, cider, or mead. Grapes are perhaps the easiest of all: thin-skinned and easily trampled, and harboring only a single, negligible seed within, they offer little resistance to the winemaker in their journey to posterity through fermentation.
