Leucistic thrush.

10,000 Birds

Below the tropic of Capricorn, the omnipresent Turdus position is filled by the Rufous-bellied Thrush. In much the same way that the American Robin fulfils the requirement to the north of the Tropic of Cancer, the Rufous-bellied Thrush entertains southern birders from wild forests to urban parks and all points in between. Being so ubiquitous has its drawbacks.

Best Bird of the Weekend (Second of September 2018)

10,000 Birds

Many birders have places they return to year after year, special pilgrimages promising scenes and species they see nowhere else. Enjoying these locations over time allows us to experience our beloved birding sites in all their multifaceted glory, even when those facets aren’t exactly glorious. The birding mecca on my mind is Chincoteague NWR, renowned far and wide for avian profusion (and wild ponies!

How to Be an Urban Birder by David Lindo

10,000 Birds

I know this isn’t how you’re supposed to judge, but this book has a cover photo of a Jackdaw chowing down on chips* and a blurb by Jamie Oliver. In some ways, this particular cover can let you extrapolate everything you need to know about the whole gosh-darn volume. 1. It is very, very British. Although much of its advice – from the importance of looking up to the ins and outs of digiscoping – could apply anywhere, at its heart this is a London book by a Londoner, focused

Week 30: We return to Summer Lake

10,000 Birds

Imagine waking up to the call of thousands of ducks, geese, and every kind of marsh bird you can imagine. That is exactly where Week 30 in our Little Big Year adventure found us. Right, smack dad in the middle of Summer Lake Wildlife Refuge. Our 5th wheel and truck are parked in just about as close to the middle of this central Oregon refuge as possible.

“Understanding Animal Behaviour” by Rory Putman

10,000 Birds

Speckled Woods are found through most of Palearctic. Two inches across, they are grey-brown with creamy spots, which are brighter and more yellowish in females. They inhabit grassy, flowery habitats in forest, woods and glades, also hedges and urban parks. While not the most colourful, they are as charming as any butterfly. When you see the two Speckled Woods circling the patch of sunlight on the forest floor (illustrated by Catherine Putman), you may be forgiven for dreaming of poetry in motion

Where Are You Birding This Third Weekend of September 2018?

10,000 Birds

We’re in it now, and by “it” I don’t mean another academic year, although the recent rash of school open houses means were in that too. For birders, “it” is another season of migration, another extended influx of passing birds en route to their next layover. Enjoy it! During such a time, one needn’t travel far for fun times (unless a hurricane is barreling through your yard).

Breakside Brewery: Breakside IPA

10,000 Birds

The Northern Hemisphere hops harvest of 2018 is well underway.* In my own small way, I’ve been busy this week doing my part in this annual tradition, handpicking the fragrant green cones off several twisted bines that spent the summer creeping up lines of twine in my yard. It’s a modest but no less rewarding effort compared to the massive global endeavor of hop harvesting, which sees the entire Northern Hemisphere crop picked and processed in a matter of weeks.

Windjana Gorge revisited

10,000 Birds

It is always enjoyable to return to places that you have been to before to go birding and find out what has changed over the seasons. Windjana Gorge is closed for a good part of the year due to flooding and the access roads becoming inaccessible, but for the past couple of months it has been open. We have visited it in other years during the dry season and on each occasion it has been very hot within the gorge.

Bird Litigation: Eagle Tails and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act

10,000 Birds

The Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) has been in the news recently, as the Trump Administration has proposed changes to how it is enforced as to activities that harm birds, but only incidentally.
