On the drive home from work today I noticed a Spangled Drongo (Dicrurus bracteatus) spiraling and flying extravagantly high above a gum tree on the side of the road. These absolutely unique Australian birds are a true delight to watch, seemingly always ready to put on an impressive aerial display ri ...

We were out recently, a pleasantly foggy dawn, the dogs and I “taking the air” and enjoying the humidity, grateful we do not live in a desert. (When the water is sucked out of the air, it feels to me as if the life is sucked out, too.) When we got out to the misty campground, looking over to the boa ...

Today I did a presentation about two parts of the State of the Birds Report, the coasts and the oceans. I’m studying the oceans in school, so those two subjects were appropriate. My major is ocean and coastal resources and I have a seminar in marine sciences class. This class meets once a week and e ...

Ed Markel called today with a story about seeing 17 huge white birds on a wheat field that borders his Stafford County farm. He sees a lot of wildlife every year but the tone in his voice said these were special. Ed is one of many inflicted with whooper mania in the past few days. The past week has ...

This past August I spent a few days birding Long Island getting my shorebird fix for the year (yes, I am just now putting something together to post). One of the best reasons to visit the Long Island beaches is to see the big flocks of Sanderling playing in the waves. When taking big flock shots of ...
