A bizarre "invasion" of blue-footed boobies into southern California has extended north in recent days, with at least four of the odd-looking seabirds spotted around Monterey Bay since Sunday.
Birding, oddly enough, can be tough on the environment, what with all that driving and flying. But Scott Smithson's got an idea: why not ask traveling birders to donate to groups doing habitat restoration?
It’s not about the lists for Clay Kempf, or about having a big year. He just loves being outside. If a bird happens to fly by while he basks in Mother Nature’s glory, so much the better.
