Running for Rockrunners: Birding Avis Dam, Namibia
Oct 31, 2026 · original
Avis Dam lies just east of Windhoek, where the Avis River was dammed by South African colonial authorities in the 1930s to supply the growing town with water. In a country this dry, a reservoir is surely necessary but simultanoeusly a symbol of optimism – Avis is often less full than its engineers would have hoped. What it lacks in water it makes up for in views. A walking trail circles the… Source
Palm Springs, Western Australia
Oct 31, 2026 · original
This post is republished in our “From the Archives” series, featuring highlights of our vast back catalogue of more than 10,000 birding-related posts published over the last 15 years or so. Originally published on October 20, 2013. We visited Palm Springs, California towards the end of 1989 and we camped and looked for birds. This year we did the same, but this time it was Palm Springs… Source
Ticking the wine labels
Oct 31, 2026 · original
If you enjoy ticking off birds on wine labels, then Portugal has to be the best country to do so. Back in September, in a small supermarket in Sagres, in western Portugal, I ticked of an impressive list of wine-label birds – Common Crane, Grey Partridge, Pheasant, Short-toed Eagle, Eagle Owl, Bee-eater, Stonechat, Firecrest, Golden Oriole, Bluethroat, Blue tit, Sardinian Warbler, Wren… Source
Suncheon Bay Wetland, South Korea — Profile for Birders
Oct 31, 2026 · original
Highlights At Suncheon Bay, the tide is part of the birding experience. Mudflats slowly appear between the channels, reeds catch the light, and waterbirds move with the changing shoreline. Bring binoculars, choose a public viewpoint, and give the landscape time to unfold: the broad estuary is worth watching even between individual bird encounters. On South Korea’s southern coast… Source
The Flightless Went First: A 232-Year Gap in the Extinction Record
Oct 30, 2026 · original
By Marco Marco writes birdshistory.com, where he builds small, fully sourced datasets about extinct and endangered birds — last confirmed records, the lag before a formal declaration, the founder populations behind recoveries — and writes them up as reference pages. Every figure on the site is traceable to a primary source. Of the extinct birds I have built sourced timelines for… Source
Species Spotlight: Booted Eagle
Oct 30, 2026 · original
The Booted Eagle indeed wears boots – not branded, but high-quality nevertheless, as this photo shows. The “boots” also explain the otherwise slightly weird scientific name Hieraaetus pennatus, as pennatus means “feathered”. That would not be a great way to distinguish this eagle from any other eagle, or even any other bird, but the feathered legs are sufficiently conspicuous to have… Source
Birds and Bathwater – The birds you’ll find in four American hot spring towns
Oct 29, 2026 · original
By Claire Bennett Claire is a travel writer for Hotel Hot Tubs, covering hotels in the USA offering exceptional bathing experiences. She’s also an amateur birdwatcher. Last February in Ouray, I watched an American Dipper dive in the Uncompahgre River for twenty minutes while steam billowed off the pool behind me. The bird had chosen the cold water. I had come for the hot water. Source
