And if you take this phrase, “stamps in weathered passports,” my interpretation is that the experiences from travel are the “stamps” as sights, sounds, tastes, smells, textures, on your “passport,” or soul.

Now, I have met quite a few biologists over the past few years who lacked field experience, or weren’t really interested in birding. I have quite a list of birds I have seen, or at least heard, because this is my year of group birding. How can that be in such challenging circumstances? A few even are careless with their IDs.

Strictly speaking, Mammals of South Asia is not a field guide, because some larger groups (rodents, bats) cannot be identified down to a species level following the concise descriptions and a single illustration. Still, there should be no problem with larger species that allow for longer observation time (e.g. monkeys, deer, gazelles, etc.).

2022 gave me a fair share of wonderful birds and birding experiences. Luckily, in one of the most unforgettable birding experiences of my life, at Curi-Cancha, I shared wonderful scoped looks of a male bellbird with old and new friends and birding mentors from Buffalo, NY. With those birds, I already have some highlights for 2023.

But, in spite of a birder friend telling me the town where I was housed should be a good place to see the Russet-naped Wood-Rail , none ever showed up. They are even more awkwardly cute than adult Jacanas.

It was late December, 2012, and I slotted into a sizable group under the joint leadership of two highly respected birders. As prolific as the area was, the group was on the move.

It’s a rush any new birder experiences: that of every species being a lifer. Once you’ve been around the birding block a few years, your appreciation for the lifer experience deepens greatly. Which is why we all eventually turn to the one way to combine old-birder experience with new-birder opportunities: travel.
