Global Big Day in Costa Rica

10,000 Birds

When it comes to initiatives that promote birding, the Cornell Lab of Ornithology is hard to beat. The lab at Sapsucker Woods is where we find thousands of nature recordings housed at the Macauley Library. Numerous projects take place that monitor bird populations and help educate people of all ages about birds. The Lab also acts as the heart and soul for the very popular (and often addictive) citizen science gem known as eBird.

Week 15: The Darwin area has some great birds, and Crocodiles!

10,000 Birds

We are now at the tail end of our time in Australia, but I feel like we are ending it with a bang. 8 days in the Darwin area, which includes Fogg Dam, Kakadu National Park, Cooroboree, Yellow Water, and at least a dozen other non-planned stops would provide all the excitement I could handle. We start our first day with a visit to Fogg Dam, a project that was to have been a rice growing area, turned into an amazing waterfowl reserve.

Kirtland’s Warbler in Central Park

10,000 Birds

Late in the afternoon on Friday, 11 May, I was at work in Suffolk County. I wouldn’t get done until 10 PM. When the report of a Kirtland’s Warbler in Central Park came through the listserv you can imagine my chagrin. (Or, perhaps, if you are a person who believes in such things, the death of my soul.) There are many reasons why my not being able to go see a Kirtland’s Warbler was a major bummer.

What Now?

10,000 Birds

As my long-time fans may remember, back in 2007 – which is to say, more than a decade ago, and YES I am dying a little inside at that realization – I dipped on the Coney Island Creek Western Reef Heron , a major rarity from another continent that was seen by pretty much every other birder on the eastern seaboard. As a result (albeit a very very indirect result) I left my boyfriend, moved more than halfway across the U.S., and got a master’s degree and a tattoo.

Where Are You Birding This Third Weekend of May 2018?

10,000 Birds

This weekend may not mark another migratory milestone in the birding universe, but we’re still smack dab in the middle of May. That means you should be birding. I’ve been catching most of my target songbirds this season but plan to land wherever the action along Lake Ontario is this weekend. Corey will be leading a bird walk and doing a lot more bird walking on his own.

Best Bird of the Weekend (Second of May 2018)

10,000 Birds

Between bird blitzes and Mother’s Day brunches, most of us lived very full lives this weekend. Good thing Monday finally got here! The weather in my area really dampened the flow of migrants on Saturday, but at least I was able to get my daughter on her first Bay-breasted Warbler. Corey had the easiest time ever deciding what bird would be his Best Bird of the Weekend.

Australian Painted Snipe breeding near Broome once again

10,000 Birds

After an incredibly wet start to 2018 as a result of several tropical cyclones and other rain events the land remains saturated around Broome and as a result of this there are several bird species breeding that we don’t even encounter in dry years. The highway into town from the south is not as flooded as it has been, but you are still unable to access the land beyond the bitumen unless you want to do some wading or slopping about in mud!

Author: Joe Andrews What defines a mature go-to-market model in B2B companies? Is it having a growth strategy focused on new market segments? Does it depend on scalable operational processes and systems? Or having clear alignment between teams responsible for strategic planning and execution?

Week Fourteen: Cairns, and the Great Barrier Reef. Part #2

10,000 Birds

When we began planning this trip, Cairns was immediately put on the list, as we have a very good friend, Kevan, who we have not seen in a few years, and this would be a great chance to do so. Later on, as my research got a little bit more detailed, this might just turn out to be a huge stop. With help from Giles, back in Melbourne, this details got much clearer.
