No escape – Unsustainable European fishing practices harm seabirds

July 3, 2018December 23, 2019 Supertrooper Leave a comment

Each year, 200 000 seabirds die in the froth and foam of European waters alone, accidentally caught in the fishing nets of European fleets. And given the highly migratory journey of these seabirds and indeed European fishing fleets, these deadly fishing activities don’t stop in European waters. It is estimated that about 25% of European […]

Melanistic Montagu’s Harrier and other Raptors

October 14, 2014December 23, 2019 Stephen Daly 1 Comment

Here are some of the raptor photos we managed to see with my Swiss group from Arcatour last week. The wind direction swung around to give us moderate to strong Levante (easterlies) for five days and only died down on our last two days. Still, knowing what the migrating raptors do and where they will […]

Nearly Half of Our Birds Are at Risk of Extinction This Century

September 21, 2014December 23, 2019 Larry Jordan Leave a comment

The National Audubon Society’s Birds and Climate Change Report should give us all deep cause for concern. The findings are heartbreaking: Nearly half of the bird species in the United States will be seriously threatened by 2080, and any of those could disappear forever.

Migrating Over a Carpet of Flowers

May 6, 2013December 22, 2019 Stephen Daly Leave a comment

The last few weeks have been pretty busy for me with lots of tours and finding lots of migratory birds.

Northern Gannet at Jetty Park, 2/17/2013

February 26, 2013December 22, 2019 Scott Simmons Leave a comment

Northern Gannet Yesterday I went to Jetty Park to find a Brown Booby that has been seen there. Without a scope I was only able to get tiny photos of the bird, with only enough pixels to identify it. But there were a few Northern Gannets hunting relatively close to the fishing pier. These birds […]
