After exactly 3 long months of only being able to bird from home I was finally able to go birding away from home on Saturday morning! We left by 5:30 in order to not miss to much of the early morning bird movement, and even as we were biking on the roads getting close toContinue reading “After 3 months!”

A Shearwater in Dhaka?!
Those of you who are birders and know something of where and what Dhaka is like (and who read the title) will be completely understand the incredulity I’m feeling. Yesterday afternoons birding started just like any other of my normal birding days besides that I went up to our rooftop a bit earlier than usualContinue reading “A Shearwater in Dhaka?!”
Yard Birding Surprises!
I’ve been birding from our rooftop every evening and some mornings since lockdown started and just this afternoon reached fifty species with a flyover Shikra! It’s been a lot of fun being able to bird even in the middle of Dhaka during the lockdown, and I’ve had some awesome surprises along the way! My yardContinue reading “Yard Birding Surprises!”
Cuckooshrike, Mousebirds, Citrils, and Sunbirds (Historical: Kenya pt 3)
With lockdown because of COVID I’m not getting birding done besides from our home and that doesn’t give much material for the blog so hopefully I can do more historical posts. I’ve only gotten through two days of our Kenya trip so far so I may start doing a bit less commentary and more photosContinue reading “Cuckooshrike, Mousebirds, Citrils, and Sunbirds (Historical: Kenya pt 3)”
Yard birding
COVID-19 is heavily restricting movement here in Bangladesh. The government has shut down most businesses and is encouraging people to stay at home. So we’re just hunkering down and only going out for groceries when needed. Because we homeschool it doesn’t affect our school at all. One upside to staying at home is I’ve beenContinue reading “Yard birding”
Birding during COVID-19
COVID-19 has been shaking the world, but if you have your trust put in the right place you need not have any fears! Thankfully coronavirus isn’t too bad here yet, and since I bike to New Vision it was fine to continue birding because I would not be using public transportation as most birders doContinue reading “Birding during COVID-19”
New Vision: dead kingfisher and cormorant 😢
I was able to bird New Vision again this weekend. By now it’s getting hot, and the bike ride though only 7 miles is starting to be a bit more wearing. While I was out it was probably mid to upper 80s (F) and thankfully humidity is still down in the 50s, but it’s notContinue reading “New Vision: dead kingfisher and cormorant 😢”
Historical: Cordonbleus, Waxbills, and more(Kenya pt 2)
I woke up bright and early our first morning in Kenya to the gorgeous song of an African Pied Wagtail just outside my window! I of course had to check to see what it was and enjoyed its “wagging” around the sidewalk. I also noted a wheatear on the back wall which I IDed asContinue reading “Historical: Cordonbleus, Waxbills, and more(Kenya pt 2)”
Birding JU: Brown Fish-Owl!
Nic and I finally got the time to go out to Jahangirnagar University (JU) this weekend. JU is a beautiful campus and well known birding hotspot just outside Dhaka. During the winter there are many migrants with the highest numbers being several thousand Lesser Whistling Ducks (most common duck in Bangladesh). Most of the migrantsContinue reading “Birding JU: Brown Fish-Owl!”
Historical: Kenya November 2019
“I can’t believe we’re actually here!” I thought as our plane touched down at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi, Kenya! We had been planning this vacation since early in the year to visit my aunt and uncle who live in Nakuru. Of course I was excited to be able to spend some timeContinue reading “Historical: Kenya November 2019”
