Feather Weather: April 2008

http://featherweather.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html

Where it's always a good day to talk about birds. Saturday, April 12, 2008. As always, this is awkward. It's time for another of my "gosh, I haven't posted anything new in a while, boy do I feel like a schmuck" postings. Until this morning I wasn't even sure when the last time I posted here was, but I see that it was over a year. I didn't even have anything new for all over 2007! If I can just get over the perfectionist streak that often prevents me from posting anything that I don't consider artful or i...

Keeping in touch with the flock. Laquo; My New Thing. Getting ears in on the action. October 25, 2010. As my friend Nathan suggested on his own blog earbirding. Many months ago, there is no shortage of photos of birds on the internet. The aforementioned Macaulay Library Sound Recording Workshop seeks to even out that ratio, at least a little. I am the latest convert, and I’m going to write a bit today about my new recording apparatus and how I hope to use it. Microphone mount and windscreen. To actually ...

Keeping in touch with the flock. Laquo; A Time For Turkey Vultures. Getting ears in on the action. October 24, 2010. And let me tell you, it was. So awesome that I had to italicize the word “awesome”. If you are interested in reading a very well-written description of what goes on the workshop, I recommend reading “ Birdsong. Let me recount the ways:. Greg Budney is a remarkable, experienced, super-smart, super-affable, organized, laid-back, and helpful workshop leader. Along with Randy Little and Bi...

Sabbatical is OVER. | Contact Calls

https://contactcalls.wordpress.com/2012/03/21/sabbatical-is-over

Keeping in touch with the flock. March 21, 2012. Wow, it’s been over a year since I’ve posted here. Good grief. I think I have some bird-things to talk about. For starters, South America was as good on the birding front as you think it ought to be, especially for someone who spent pretty much all of 2011 there. I essentially was birding from about January 10 to December 10 of last year – certainly there were breaks in that time, but I had my bird-radar on pretty much continuously throughout.

Feather Weather: September 2006

http://featherweather.blogspot.com/2006_09_01_archive.html

Where it's always a good day to talk about birds. Thursday, September 28, 2006. 500 miles. 1 bird. Yesterday I made a trip down to Cañon City to see the Common Black-Hawk that's been reported frequently over the past few weeks. I've only seen one of this species before, in Costa Rica about 4 years ago, so I was eager to see another and to see it here in North America. The bird has been hanging out along the Arkansas River near the Mackenzie Avenue bridge (SeEtta Moss at SEColoradoBirding. So when all was...

Feather Weather: Trashing my ABA list

http://featherweather.blogspot.com/2009/12/trashing-my-aba-list.html

Where it's always a good day to talk about birds. Friday, January 08, 2010. Trashing my ABA list. I'm about to do it. Yep. I'm going to give up and throw away my ABA lists. I'm not going to maintain them any longer. I'm going to take the data contained therein and transfer them where applicable to other lists. But I will no longer recognize the "ABA area" as one worth keeping a list for. I dunno. Is this a big deal? So what brings this on? Why am I pursuing this seemingly radical track? Sorry, as far as ...

Feather Weather: August 2006

http://featherweather.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_archive.html

Where it's always a good day to talk about birds. Sunday, August 20, 2006. Three months. I've been away from the blog for a little while, but I see that people have kept showing up here anyway, waiting for something, anything. Sorry about that! Believe me, I've not left birds behind, not in the least. And I think my blog entries over the next several days will prove that. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Feather Weather: Macaulay Recording Workshop

http://featherweather.blogspot.com/2010/01/macaulay-recording-workshop.html

Where it's always a good day to talk about birds. Friday, January 22, 2010. A few weeks ago Nathan Pieplow explained on his excellent blog. Earbirding how he got into recording bird songs. In his post he also put out a call to arms as it were to his readers to go out and get more involved in recording as a means of making real contributions to the science of ornithology, and a couple weeks later he provided a short, off-the-cuff sample of the myriad of topics.

Feather Weather: June 2008

http://featherweather.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html

Where it's always a good day to talk about birds. Sunday, June 29, 2008. This is one of those topics that doesn't really matter a whole lot in the scheme of things, yet seems to bring out the strongest and most fiercely guarded opinions - the names of things. The species Gallinula chloropus. Has been a problematic one apparently with regard to its name, although for as long as I've been birding, I've known it as the Common Moorhen. But change is afoot again! The breaking point for me came when, at the Ne...
