A Birder Attends a (Virtual) Ornithology Conference – Part II

10,000 Birds

Because NAOC is so large, it is more accurate to say I sampled small parts of the enormous event. It may or may not be repeated, but I hope future events are a hybrid format. For birders, the most interesting events are the keynote and plenary speakers, paper sessions, symposia, and poster sessions.

Pigeons have tiny compasses in their heads

10,000 Birds

In any event, they were surprisingly good at this. One researcher tested British school children to see if they could find their way home by driving them blindfolded, in a bus, out into the country and asking them to point their way home. That did in fact confuse them at least to some degree.

Swarovski 8×30 CL Companion: Blue Birds in 3D

10,000 Birds

The morning I first tested them was filled with migrating flocks of European Bee-eaters and their constant bubbling voices. A few weeks later, I was guiding a EuroBirdwatch event in Belgrade, Serbia. And all the time I was testing the CLs, I was wondering what the difference was between them and their big brother, the ELs.

Review: The Opticron Traveller BGA Mg

10,000 Birds

I was given the opportunity to review Opticron’s Traveller binoculars just in advance of such an occasion – a wedding in Lake Placid, not the kind of event you want to show up to with a pair of bins strapped around your neck or a giant bag weighing you down. (No, Yes, mom, I also tested them when I was sober!)

Red-tail Without a Cause

10,000 Birds

My own teenage son is testing his boundaries and I had hoped to escape the stress of rebellion for the afternoon. You may even be lucky enough to coincide your visit with a cultural event such as a cello recital amongst the trees. Does anyone else see James Dean? For more information, it has a website www.woodlandsgarden.org.
