10,000 Birds

OCTOBER 1, 2011

Will anyone ever break Sandy Komito’s record of 745 birds in North America area in one year? Kudos to him for all the research he did to make people more aware of birding. But it took me six years to get the last one paid off (maxed out five credit cards–which I would NEVER recommend to anyone!)

Howell’s Petrels, Albatrosses, and Storm-Petrels of North America: A Photographic Guide, previously reviewed here.

I found this all out on websites not affiliated with this book.

For my new book, due out in 2012 from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, I’ve been researching sandhill crane hunting. The sandhill crane has the lowest recruitment rate (average number of young birds joining a population each season) of any bird now hunted in North America. to a high of 11%.
