Birding Crazy

A friend of Birdingguide from Brazil, who has been bitten by the birding and bird photography bugs simultaneously, wrote us recently about one of his birding trips in Brazil. "We woke up at 5AM, left at 6AM and walked for eight hours in the forests looking for birds, then after a break and dinner we went back out to take photos of owls and other night birds." "I did not get to bed until 1:30AM", he continues."Then we got up again at 5AM for another day of birding."

Yes birding can become a form of craziness, but what a great affliction.

Happy Birding and Best Wishes for the New Year from everyone at Birdingguide.com

A Winter Hummingbird

The red and golden leaves of falls last show of color have fallen. What leaves that were not raked up by the industrious have now all blown away by recent wind storms. Bare twiggy branches spread and fork again and again reaching out to the low and cold sun. Nighttime temperatures have been in the low 20's and are expected to drop to 10 degrees by Sunday night. An Annas Hummingbird is busy flitting through the leafless branches of an ornamental plum tree above my head. All the Rufus Hummingbirds left late August but the Annas, not so fond of travel, will winter here through the snow cold days ahead and hold forth the promise of spring. I search in my coat pocket for my gloves.
