Victoria Big Year: The Clock Runs Down.....
http://vicbigyear.blogspot.com/2011/12/clock-runs-down.html
Follow along as Jeremy Kimm chases a Victoria, BC, birding record! Saturday, December 31, 2011. The Clock Runs Down. Well, it is December 31. It is dark, and there are no more owls to be found, and I end the year at 246 species, six short of my target. It has been a great year, and aside from the magic 252 number, I have achieved everything I set out to do. I have had a lot of fun, met a lot of great people, found a lot of new spots, and seen a lot of great birds! Lesser Nighthawk (first Victoria record).

Citrine Wagtail Alternate Location. Oh, Canada →. The Charm of Birds. January 13, 2013. Recently there has been a video. Making its way around the birding listserves. In it, a clip from the movie. But the first to my knowledge to add a birding slant. The video already has a whopping 2500 views, about as viral as a birding video clip ever gets. The second noteworthy thing is the author himself. It is clear that he found peace in birds, but why has he not had more time for birds in his life? This is where ...

Newer posts →. August 14, 2011. What’s the Teal-io. July 27, 2011. Every once in a while in birding, something completely surprises you. Sometimes it’s an assumption that you’ve always had, that you suddenly realize is completely false. Sometimes it’s an epiphany about some field mark – maybe one that every other birder knows, that has somehow slipped past you for all this time. The surprisingly large Limpkin.
