Every animal has scent glands, from humans to insects. Humans are the only ones who don’t use them as a form of communication. That is, unless it’s so subtle that it’s nearly undetectable. For cats, scent glands form a very complex and colorful (aromaful?) language — one that humans, with their limited ability to grasp their […]
This year began with an exhilarating start for me as a birder and bird photographer. January gifted me eight incredible new hummingbird species to add to my lifer list, each one dazzling and unique in its own way. From the northeastern side of Trinidad at the Bajnath’s Hummingbird Sanctuary to the Birding Paradise Lodge back […]

What is your favorite bird species? I enjoy all the birds really, from a feral pigeon in the train station to the most endangered and restrictive birds in my country, but I think the seedeater group is my favorite!

There’s a specific hotel my human and I stay at when we go to the San Diego cat show. It’s only a few minutes away and it’s reasonably priced but not cheap. In fact, she was able to get a suite both this year and last year without paying too much more than the cost […]
A recent post by fellow writer Peter on this blog (Birding Zaagkuildrift Road) made me go back to my notes and photos of my own birding outings there.
