If you might be interested in Whooping cranes and the Eastern Introduced Migration now going on, check out ‘Whooper Happenings’, a podcast updated every few weeks. This has been a tough year for these birds, after the storms on February 2nd killed all but one of the flock, and many others have died or been predated this year. They are now flying behind ultralights from Wisconsin to Florida with 17 new Whooper chicks. Arrival should be by mid December if not sooner (we hope), so also check-out the website for Operation Migration at http://www.operationmigration.org; click the ‘In the Field’ link on the left side.

Patrick – bird plates are great because A) There are many available and B) the funny looks on people’s faces

I match way too many of these… I still need a birding license plate though. I plan on getting one eventually, so that counts.

I don’t match all eleven either… I guess if you feel you’re a birdfreak, you are one. Acceptance is step one

I definitely don’t fit #7 but I can see where a pair of bins and a scope can start approaching some serious cash!

#9 Will be happening in September!!

OK – I’m guilty of 3 or 4 of them — #s 4, 5 (only half of it – go to beach to look for birds), 6 – yes, I collect/keep all my birding mags, and half of # 11 – my blog is about 50% birding. Does that mean I qualify? ;o)
