Birding And Wild Birds

GEORGETOWN, GUYANA – “Excellent” and “unbelievable” are how two international birdwatching tour leaders summed up their recent trips to Guyana. Tim Earl, a Principal Leader for the UK-based tour operator The Travelling Naturalist, and Bob Schutsky of Bird Treks both reported their clients were very pleased.  

We just got back from a short three days in Michigan to visit my mom and other family. It was COLD! My mom has turned into a little bit of a birder in her old age, and she faithfully refills her feeders. While there we saw American Goldfinches, Mourning Doves, House Sparrows, a Northern Cardinal, and some others. We also visited my Aunt and Uncle, and they had even more at their feeders: Downey Woodpecker, Northern Flicker, Dark-eyed...

Although the James M. Robb Colorado River State Park is one of the most unique parks in Colorado, and the one that gets the most local notoriety, it’s not the only state park in the Happy Valley. Highline Lake State Park north of the Loma metroplex is a great place to escape, especially this time of year when there’s NO ONE around.  

To celebrate the publication of the 2010 edition of SoFo's 'Winter Birding by Car', Jim Ash, compiler and editor of this useful map and bird guide, will lead a birding by car expedition from Southampton to Shinnecock. Winter Birding by Car was designed by SoFo as a tool to be used by birders who choose not to leave their cars because of cold or inclement weather, or for those with a physical disability who find it difficult to bird on foot...

Joe Giunta is one of SoFo's most engaging birding teachers and this foray is one of his most popular. The evening starts with a brief slide show and taped calls to acquaint you with our native owls. Then Joe will take you into the woods to call owls in for actual sightings. There is a good possiblility that you will see an Eastern Screech Owl and maybe even a Great Horned Owl, whose courtship period begins at this time of year. This walk...  

Birdwatchers have to be among the easiest people to shop for at holiday time. My friends all want the latest feeders, reference guides, technology and more. And with the popularity of birding skyrocketing, the marketplace is full of products to satisfy every need -- from $5 in bird food to guided birding tours across the globe.  

Located at the southern extreme of the Iberian Peninsular, the Rock of Gibraltar, famed gatekeeper of the Mediterranean, is one of the legendary Pillars of Hercules which, in AD 711, was the stepping-stone for the Muslim invasion of Europe. Given its location, a mere 14 miles from the North African mainland and on the doorstep of Spain’s Andalucia region (close to the cities of Granada, Seville and Cadiz) it is no surprise that this tiny...  

While in rural parts of New Jersey or the Delmarva Peninsula I have occasionally seen large starling flocks, numbering perhaps in the low thousands. I always find these flocks impressive, especially when they take off. But I have never seen a flock like this one.[From LiveLeak via HuffPo]Posted on A DC Birding Blog under a Creative Commons 3.0 License.  

This is no joke. You can actually get a birding trip in Peru for FREE. The idea is to promote community birding tourism initiatives and by giving away some free trips (14 trips in total still available) it will hopefully bring the sufficient PR to ...  

I can’t believe Jackie and I went to Edinburg and did not do any birding. We didn’t even visit the World Birding Center. The purpose of the trip was to see our grandson, Nick Acker, ordained into the ministry. I was anxious to get a preacher in ...  

You may only be four years old, but get it right. It's a coot, not a duck My pedantry and passion for taxonomy has inadvertently inspired my two nephews to become junior birdwatchers Duck, not coot. Photograph: It all started because I am so pedantic,  

We're a group of birding friends from Britain and America who decided to team up on an international birding website. Bringing the best in birding from both sides of the Atlantic and further afield onto one website, we hope to have created something ...  

I belong to a group of women, and we call ourselves BULBs…Bangalore Urban Lady-Birders. One of our favourite destinations to go birding (or bird-watching) is…Kommaghatta Lake (in Kengeri). Yesterday we went birding to Manchinabele Reservoir and several of us planned to go to Kommaghatta Lake this morning. One of us did visit…and found that the lake had…disappeared. Here’s [...]
