10,000 Birds

JUNE 6, 2012

There are few families of birds as bewitching as the birds-of-paradise. Adding to their mystique is the remoteness of their home, the undeveloped and rarely visited islands of New Guinea and eastern Indonesia. There are, however, two species that are more accesible than the rest of the family. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VGongXYDGo

And fun and food are, I’d submit, not enough reason to fell a bird in which only one in three pairs manages to raise a single chick each season; a bird that has captured the imagination and hearts of tens of thousands of people, whose sonorous purr floats down from on high like the voice of a pterosaur. Thank you for your efforts.

During my previous five trips to Indonesia, I only heard but never caught a glimpse of three species. This of course raises questions of what happens when all of the inland nesting grounds of all the loons becomes covered with glacial ice during ice ages, then later, the ice melts and the lakes return. Hummingbirds are awesome!
