• The Adirondack Wild Turkey in Winter

  
  Adirondack Almanack — Authority: 468
  There are only a few dozen species of birds capable of surviving the rigors of an Adirondack winter, and of these, the wild turkey is one that is more closely associated with the warmer and less snowy regions to our south than the boreal woodlands to the north. While the turkey is traditionally viewed as one the most ...

• Owl Quest

  
  Sitka Nature — Authority: 111
  This week on the nature connection mentoring call series I participate on we were challenged to imagine ourselves as a particular animal that we have good reason to believe is around but rarely (if ever) actually see. See/feel in our minds what we are doing as that animal in the process of its daily routines. Over ...

• The good, the bad, and the ugly.

  
  Ben Cruachan - natural history — Authority: 99
  The summer bird surveys at Swallow Lagoon Nature Conservation Reserve gave us the title. Good to put two new species into the records, Painted Button-quail at two locations, and Owlet Nightjar, a little beauty that flew in front of us, landed on a branch and calmly regarded us for as long as we cared to return the ...

• Winter sports, critter version.

  
  Wanderin' Weeta (With Waterfowl and Weeds) — Authority: 110
  Junco making a snowball ... Or maybe hes planning a snowbird. Ive been working over the weekend, while it alternately snows and rains outside; perfect weather for sitting at a desk in front of the window. Out there, the juncos, chickadees, bushtits, towhees, and assorted sparrows dash and splash ...

• Birds on the Water

  
  Sitka Nature — Authority: 111
  Overcast and rain (changing to snow this evening) were the order of the day – though unlike many days this winter, there was little wind. I had the chance to do a little birding on the water. The trip was a loop out through Western Channel, over to Cape Burunof, a brief look in Pirate’s Cove and Sandy Bay, then ...

• Tropical Cyclone Iggy

  
  10,000 Birds — Authority: 496
  We have had a wet week in Broome with a tropical low to our north and further down the coast there is a cyclone. This cyclone has been named Cyclone Iggy and is a dominant circle on our satellite image of Western Australia. It has been amusing to listen to the “younger” weather people on the television unsure as ...

• Nothing but Thrush

  
  TWO BIRDERS TO GO — Authority: 95
  Id been feeling quite trashy these past few days. Runny nose and all those trashy stuff that comes with the common cold kept me housebound. And Cynthia even had it worse! Saturday morning and my condition was a little better. A quick trip to nearby University of the Philippines campus would cure me of my birding ...

• Rainbow walks and ravens

  
  diggitydigg — Authority: 95
  The first of the excess Christmas pounds has been safely taken off and stored away again for next year. There are a few more to go, but it’s a start. A few of the necessary calories were expended lifting the telephone and dialling two local gyms to discuss current offers.  A few more were burnt off chopping extra ...

• Who Says Digiscoping Isn’t Legit?

  
  10,000 Birds — Authority: 496
  I am always intrigued by the multitude of opinions out there on various birding subjects, but lately none more than digiscoping . With all of the birding shows involved in my schedule I have the opportunity to hear many of these opinions. Often enough, I hear birders discussing digiscoping as if it were an after ...

• Red-breasted Sapsucker

  
  Sitka Nature — Authority: 111
  Red-breasted Sapsucker on Red Alder – note how tail feathers are used as a prop/balance against the trunk I’ve previously noticed and commented on Red-breasted Sapsuckers and cold weather as well as speculating on what they are doing in winter around here – so one of things I wanted to do during the recent ...

  Daddy Forever — Authority: 104
  Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment is giving away The Big Year DVD on my dad blog. The movie features Steve Martin, Jack Black and Owen Wilson. It’s a story about three men from very different walks of life, facing a mid-life crisis, a work-life crisis and a no-life crisis. The trio ends up in a birdwatching ...

• Killdeer at sunrise, Point Reyes National Seashore

  
  Pat Ulrich Wildlife Photography Blog — Authority: 107
  One of the most fun parts of spending years photographing wildlife in Point Reyes National Seashore was that you never knew what subjects you would find on a given day. Sure, I always came up with a plan of what I would be targeting as I drove through Marin County to arrive at a trailhead before sunrise, but a lot of ...

• Speechless

  
  Natural Notes — Authority: 94
  Sometimes, I just have to wonder.  The butterfly and bird- frequented puddle at the ‘quarry’ down the road, which I mentioned in this post , is obviously a spring-fed puddle.  It’s there year round, rain or not.  There are springs and hidden streams very near – on a quiet day you can hear them bubbling ...

• Birding in India - Portrait of a Crested Serpent Eagle

  
  Walk the Wilderness — Authority: 85
  In general, the Crested Serpent Eagle are cooperative subjects who sit motionless on branches flanking the safari track, allowing photographers to get full frame compositions using a lens with 400mm focal length or higher. We feel that this makes the beautiful raptor a perfect subject for those who are starting out ...

• Brown birds near Broome

  
  10,000 Birds — Authority: 496
  As you all know, “brown” can be quite good on a bird and it comes in all colours and sizes! For those of you familiar with shorebirds there is a lot of “grey” out there, so I thought I should share some “brown” with you. One of the best places to find “brown” around Broome is on the highway as you head ...

• Return to Dumaguete, Day 1 - Boat for the Best

  
  TWO BIRDERS TO GO — Authority: 95
  We had just landed at Dumaguete airport when out of the blue my wife declared, "Why dont we go to Siquijor today?" Interestingly I was also thinking about the same thing. It was still early - not even 9 am yet - and we didnt have any specific plans to begin with anyway. After a quick check-in at the Royal Suites Inn ...

• Bushtits vs. squirrels; who will win?

  
  Wanderin' Weeta (With Waterfowl and Weeds) — Authority: 110
  The squirrels stole my suet cage. I had it tied on a branch with good steel wire; it didnt deter them. They were welcome to snack on the suet, but not to take it away, cage and all. I got another cage, and more suet, and double-wired it. They stole that one. I found a third torn off the tree, abandoned half-way down ...

  Asheville Travel Blog — Authority: 106
  Photo of the day. Cold weather couldnt deter this curious squirrel from playing in the snow. Winter is actually one of the best times to spot wildlife due to lack of natural camouflage. Locate wildlife with these helpful tips for a self-guided mountain safari. Photo by Del Holston 1. ...
