Crowded beaches
10,000 Birds
MAY 3, 2020
This week I will introduce you to the shorebirds that choose not to distance themselves from each other on our local beaches. We are very fortunate here in Broome to have so many of the shorebird species represented on the beaches of Roebuck Bay. Other smaller species are trickier to observe when the beach is crowded, but you should look out for Curlew Sandpipers , Broad-billed Sandpipers and Red-necked Stint. The only crowding on our beaches at the moment is the shorebirds!

Hooded Plovers on Squeaky Beach
10,000 Birds
FEBRUARY 9, 2020
Our most recent encounter was at the end of January at Squeaky Beach in the Wilson’s Promontory National Park. It didn’t take long and the clouds raced in and we were facing some mist as we walked down onto Squeaky Beach. Looking back as we entered Squeaky Beach.
Cable Beach Pied Oystercatchers
10,000 Birds
JULY 12, 2020
Broome’s Cable Beach has become a lot busier over recent weeks. Vehicles are permitted to drive onto Cable Beach in an area north of the rocks. The nest site they choose is always on the grey rocky outcrop overlooking the beach. However, they do need to pass through a section of beach to get to Gantheaume Point that vehicles use. Cable Beach is a beautiful beach as you can clearly see.
Social distancing on the beach
10,000 Birds
APRIL 26, 2020
We were very keen to get back on our bikes and to go and walk along a beach. We were in much more of a rush to get to the beach than the supermarket! One of our Pied Oystercatcher pairs were at their usual location north of the rocks on Cable Beach. It is so good to have a little bit of normality in our world even if it is something as simple as being able to have a walk on the beach.

A Western Kingbird at Jones Beach
10,000 Birds
NOVEMBER 4, 2019
This past Saturday morning I was out at Jones Beach birding all morning with my good friends Seth and Mary, who had dragged me, kicking and screaming, from my local patches in Queens. The most famed birding spot in Nassau County is Jones Beach State Park , out on the barrier island, and though the winds weren’t what we would have wished for we still had a wonderful morning of birding. … The post A Western Kingbird at Jones Beach appeared first on 10,000 Birds.
Cable Beach Pied Oystercatchers continue to hatch
10,000 Birds
JULY 26, 2020
The pair of Pied Oystercatchers that nest to the north of the vehicle beach access were due to hatch this week. There was a Pied Oystercatcher watching over the beach as we arrived at the sign. We know they will walk a long way, so we cycled to the beach and headed north on foot at high tide. Choosing high tide on Friday meant there would still be vehicles on the beach, but not as many as when the tide is lower.
Broad-billed Sandpiper on Cable Beach
10,000 Birds
SEPTEMBER 29, 2019
The shorebirds gather on Cable Beach from around two hours before until two hours after high tide. Last week I shared the first encounter with a Little Curlew on Cable Beach returning from migration. On 19th September I encountered the first returning Broad-billed Sandpiper on Cable Beach. Broad-billed Sandpipers could easily be overlooked among the large flocks of Red-necked Stint on Cable Beach due to their similar size.
The Parrots of Howard Beach
10,000 Birds
SEPTEMBER 15, 2014
North of Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge in Queens is a middle class neighborhood, predominantly Italian-American, known as Howard Beach. Perhaps most known throughout New York City for mafia ties and a couple of hate crimes against African-Americans, Howard Beach was devastated by Hurricane Sandy. But it wasn’t the history of Howard Beach that led Donna and I to Howard Beach a week ago: no, it was the parrots. Monk Parakeets at their very large nest in Howard Beach.
Hiding in beach debris at high tide

It turns out that the hazy light had produced a mirror-like surface on the beach’s wet sand, and in many of my photos, the birds seemed to be floating in a void. Only their reflections give any sense of the beach beneath them. I have seen a few Marbled Godwits there as well, but not in the numbers present on these beaches. Last week, I had only just returned from a day on the Michoacán coast when my posting schedule required I write my report of the trip.
Third Cable Beach Pied Oystercatcher nest to hatch

Since last week another Pied Oystercatcher nest on Cable Beach has produced two chicks. The Pied Oystercatcher pairs are approximately five kilometres apart on this section of Cable Beach. In the second photo below you will notice one is “kneeling” We had noticed a Brown Falcon in the area as we got to the beach too. Whilst we had been visiting the nest area of this pair of Pied Oystercatchers we had noticed the absence of the other pair further up the beach.
Hawaii’s Plastic Beach
Green Home Blog
JUNE 12, 2012
Hawaii’s Plastic Beach. Kamilo Beach. As the saying goes, what’s out of sight is out of mind, but there’s one place where all this pollution is being made painfully obvious: Hawaii’s Kamilo Beach, where every year tons of garbage are deposited by the waves and piled high on what was once beautiful white sand. What’s special about Kamilo Beach? The majority of the trash that washes up on Kamilo Beach – as high as 90% – is plastic.
Beach Battling Snowy Owls
10,000 Birds
MARCH 12, 2018
I was out on the beach yesterday (Sunday, 11 March) morning, hoping to see some interesting ducks or alcids or, really, anything interesting. The recent storms have really eroded the beach so when you are walking down by the water it’s not possible to see what is on the higher side of the beach in front of the dunes. The owl on the beach held its ground and the attacking owl continued down the beach where it landed and initiated a staring contest.

I spent the early morning hours the last two days on the beach in the eastern Rockaways, taking advantage of slanted light and cooperative birds. This Piping Plover was the only one left on the beach and I saw it both mornings. Semipalmated Plovers , like this young bird, were all over the beach. And I saw two on Sunday on Rockaway Beach. By the time this post goes live on Monday morning I will be back out on the beach seeing what else there is to see.

Reddell Beach shorebirds

APRIL 3, 2016
Reddell Beach or Riddell Beach, depending on your source of information is a very picturesque beach in Broome between the port of Broome and Gantheaume Point. It varies from Cable Beach , because rather than white sand and white sand dunes it offers pindan red cliffs and the dirt does stain! Access to Reddell Beach is from several car parks and involves clambering over some pindan dirt to access the beach. Shorebirds on Reddell Beach.

Cleaverville Beach is 20 minutes north-west of Karratha and a popular place for caravans in the tourist season. The information on the facilities at Cleaverville Beach includes the fact that there is no potable water at all and you need to be self-sufficient. There were plenty of shorebirds along the coast at Cleaverville Beach and terns feeding out at sea and thankfully a substantial sea breeze when we arrived!

Gulls at Daytona Beach

FEBRUARY 3, 2012
Back when I was trying to figure out what I should do during my time at the Space Coast Birding and Wildlife Festival I was advised by Doug Gochfeld to check out “the Gull spectacle on the beach at Daytona Beach Shores.” ” Intrigued, I looked into it, and learned that enormous amounts of gulls feed at a dump during the day and in the evening they fly over to Daytona Beach, in the vicinity of Frank Rendon Park, and make themselves at home on the beach.

I was soon onto the beach and there were several Pacific Gulls in varying plumage and they really are a magnificent gull.

It is good to go down the beach and have it all to yourself apart from a lot of shorebirds this time of year! There are other visitors to the beach this time of year and every visit brings surprises! The photo above is the normally crowded nudist section of Cable Beach to the north of the rocks, but it is November and the nudists have gone back south and there are now no four-wheel drives on the beach on big tides.

And what I read got me moving off of the pond fast: I just got off the phone with Shane Blodgett, he is looking at a Northern Wheatear here at Plum Beach in Brooklyn. Off at Knapp Street where I turned around and headed east on the Belt Parkway until I reached the Plum Beach parking area, grabbed my gear, and headed out onto the beach. He had no time to talk but let me know the bird was still there, down the beach, and that Shane was still with it.
Wilson’s Plovers in Folly Beach, Charleston

hardly early by birding standards but early enough to beat the crowds of beach goers to my destination: Folly Beach County Park. Located at the end of a long public beach, the park features the beach but also a protected marsh – some areas of which are used by Least Terns and Wilson’s Plovers as nesting sites. A view of the beach. Eventually I tore myself away, and walked until the beach eventually gave way to marsh.
Northern Cable Beach birding
10,000 Birds
SEPTEMBER 27, 2015
One of the most secluded beaches around Broome is the northern end of Cable Beach. Cable Beach runs for 23 kilometres from Gantheaume Point to Willie Creek and the length of the beach can be traversed by foot or bicycle, but you do need to take note of the tides. Our tides in Broome are very large and the beach can almost disappear at high tide and huge areas of sand are exposed once the tide retreats. The more secluded the beach the better of course!

There are actually more species like this than popular culture would suggest, but even knowing this doesn’t detract from the shock of seeing them on a beach that wouldn’t look out of place in the Seychelles. Boulders Beach, a popular spot in Cape Town, is the place to see the species, and if the mood takes, swim with them. Boulders Beach. The beach isn’t just a roost, it’s a breeding site.

Birdlife on Amazonian River Beaches

AUGUST 27, 2015
A walk along an ocean beach is likely to result in sighting of terns, gulls and sandpipers with various bill lengths, and plovers. Some terns use the ocean at different depths, sandpipers use the surfline, and plovers other sections of the beach further inland. Aerial view of an Amazonian River showing exposed sandy beaches. Beaches formed along Amazonian rivers are not much different. Most birds use these ephemeral beaches as breeding grounds.

This week’s trip was blighted by my inability to say “do it yourself” and more rigorous adventures had to be postponed while I recouperated in a beach-side bar. How lucky then, that aforementioned bar was on the beach in Rio de Janiero. Most normal people, by which I mean non-birders, might have uploaded selfies to Facebook from the bars and the beach, perhaps a few pictures of cold drinks and exotic food for Instagram.

We are very fortunate here in Broome to have such great beaches for cycling.

Over the last few weeks the number of people using Cable Beach in Broome has fallen and the number of shorebirds using Cable Beach has increased. It is particularly apparent at high tide each day and they also use the beach in larger numbers at night. We were looking for individually marked shorebirds recently on Cable Beach and discovered we had not just individually marked birds, but an individual shorebird! Little Curlew on Cable Beach.
