The Next Big Thing – The Birding Revolution
The birding world is changing. There is a revolution going on with more and more people becoming interesting in birds, but the new birders are not necessarily listers. This is an analysis what this means and how these changes have become a challange for bird tour operators as well as birding clubs.
The Junin Grebe may go extinct and we did not even notice.
The Junin Grebe may go extinct and we did not even notice.
Of 23 grebes worldwide, 3 have gone extinct the last 40 years. Junin Grebe may be next. We may not even notice. We must ask the question "Why does the population of Junin Grebe increase?" instead of "How many Junin Grebes are there?".

White-masked Antbird is near mythical. Formerly known only from one specimen and rediscovered a few years ago. Now it is available for birders only a hop away when birding in Northern Peru. This is how to do it yourself.

Birding tours for the 99%.
Here is the paradox. With 45 million people identifying themselves as birdwatchers in the US it is less than 1% who would qualify as traditional birders being members in a birdwatching club, participating on organized field trips and would pay for guided birdwatching excursions and tours.
