05/03/2011 - The Last Edition of I and the Bird :: Comments (2)
It hardly seems fair, does it? For many of our readers here at the new ABA Blog, I and the Bird -- the blog carnival celebrating the best writing about birding and wild birds on the web -- was new and maybe even exciting. Yet here I am before you... READ MORE »

I and the Bird has always been a channel through which international bird bloggers and bird watchers (two groups with a high degree of overlap) can connect and collaborate. Even our very first edition back in 2005 featured outstanding writing about birding and wild birds across many continents. Frankly, I... READ MORE »

As you might surmise, I spend an inordinate amount of time every day thinking about both birding and blogging. Perhaps we're alike in that. Where we may differ substantially, however, is that those thoughts are often crowded out by more pressing considerations of the fine art of SAT and ACT... READ MORE »

Birders, as you probably already know, really get around. I don't mean that in a promiscuous way -- who am I to judge? -- but rather in a strictly geographical sense. To be a birder sometimes feels like having a backstage pass to the hidden highways of the world. We... READ MORE »

Do you list? That question seems as incomprehensible as its companion query, “Do you bird?” unless you in fact do bird and might list. We frankly love listing at 10,000 Birds; we’re big listers that may one day aspire to be Big Listers, if you get the distinction. Dave Ingram... READ MORE »

Certain concepts in this world are difficult to define; like art (or certain other types of adult-oriented “art”), we may claim to know it when we see it, but can’t agree on the line that separates art from that which is not art. An example nearer and dearer to the... READ MORE »

Birding, we can all agree here, is pretty terrific. Football, and by this I mean the kind we play in the U.S. of A., is rather outstanding in its own right. Why is then that the combination of football and birds doesn’t deliver a new level of success? Obviously (it... READ MORE »

Welcome to the ABA Blog!
Birders know well that the healthiest, most dynamic choruses contain many different voices. The birding community encompasses a wide variety of interests, talents, and convictions. All are welcome. If you like birding, we want to hear from you.
See something here that you really like or find useful? Or something that you think is wrong or misguided? Leave a comment and let us all know. Just keep your comments respectful; that's the only requirement.
We welcome guest posts, too. Have an idea or tip or story you'd like to share? Contact blog manager Nate Swick at blog@aba.org.
The views and opinions expressed on this blog are those of each contributing writer or commenter and do not necessarily represent the views and opinions of the American Birding Association or its management. Official positions of the ABA will be clearly labelled as such.
Good birding! And thanks for stopping by.
