There is a Rufous-bellied Thrush in a city park in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Actually, there are loads of them, but one is a slightly different version from the type-specific and I have become very fond of it. It stands out from the rest of its flock by virtue of having pure white plumage. He (or it could be a she) is to be found in the tiniest of territories in Ibirapura Park with half-a-dozen of his (or her) more traditionally coloured flock-mates.
Author: William Putsis Sometimes, as customers, we see things that the company delivering the product or service doesn’t see. While some companies spend countless hours devising business plans that encourage new customers to buy, join or stay, others manage to devise schemes that leave customers with little or no choice but to move to competitive offerings.
The first month of the current year is all but over. Happy with your year list to date? Don’t worry… we’ve got 11 months to go! The birds we encountered up on the lake this weekend could only be described as mundane. Luckily, while White-winged Scoter may be common around here in winter, it’s never boring. Corey enjoyed a foul-weather seawatch on Saturday morning and birded a couple of locations Sunday morning before leading a walk for New York City Audubon in Forest Park
During the period from 1994 through 2006, I mostly dedicated myself to itinerant ministry. In other words, I travelled, sometimes every weekend. Most of this travel was in Mexico, but I also visited different regions of the U.S., Cuba (twice), South America (twice), Europe and Morocco (once) and Bali (once). But here is the truly tragic part: I was not birding during those years!
Since you won’t be seeing any cardinals, eagles, falcons, ravens, or seahawks in the Super Bowl this weekend, you’ll have to search for them outdoors instead. Maybe we’ll all score looks at a Superb Owl or two. Obviously, I’ll be watching the big game, but one weekend is big enough for both birding and sports entertainment. Hopefully some birds show up this time!
Whisky Month at Birds and Booze: This January, Birds and Booze at 10,000 Birds is setting its sights on whiskies all month long. The cold and dreary dead of winter is as good a reason as any to warm up with a restorative dram of uisce , especially after a blustery morning spent scanning flocks of gulls on an icy shore, trudging through woodland snowdrifts in search of new year-birds, or any other half-crazed birding one does in January.

Over recent weeks I have been able to share some of my observations along the Great Southern Rail Trail in Victoria, Australia. I have introduced you to the sections from Foster to Fish Creek and also Foster to Toora. This week I will introduce you to the section from Fish Creek to Buffalo. This section is around ten kilometres/six miles long and it is quite windy with a few steady inclines and declines, but only as much as a train could handle!
As Bill Oddie noticed in his foreword to ‘Wild Sri Lanka’ (2nd edition) by Gehan De Silva Wijeyeratne, this island paradise is probably the only country in the world where almost all books on wildlife were authored by a single person. Birds, butterflies, flowers, reptiles – you name it, Gehan has covered it. Even the claim that Sri Lanka is the world’s best safari destination outside of Africa comes from him.
