BIRD CRUSHER: A Boy Remembers Maine
http://birdcrusher.blogspot.com/2015/06/a-boy-remembers-maine.html
Thursday, June 4, 2015. A Boy Remembers Maine. A boy once lost his way in the world. A boy forgot. About the birds. The birds in the trees. The birds upon the sea. The birds ripe for Crushing. Then one day, a boy spent much time with three nerds. Nerds who make blogs. One nerd was a Machine. One nerd Used to Hate Birds. The last nerd cared only for three things, all of which begin with the letter B. What follows are the fruits of his labor. In the shadows of a Maine forest, a boy lured a Chestnut-sided W...

BIRD CRUSHER: November 2013
http://birdcrusher.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 6, 2013. Craney would walk up to anyone and chirp incessantly, begging for mice. The sound of her cute chirping induced strong parental instincts in all humans on island, and everyone totally fell in love. That was when I stepped in and Crushed her face just after she took a drink from our bird bath. In bright sunlight, Rufous Hummingbirds often squint to shade their tiny eyes from the harsh solar glare. I like to take this time to Crush while their guard is down. After Craney finally...

BIRD CRUSHER: February 2014
http://birdcrusher.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 4, 2014. Once again, it has been too long. I have been remiss in my duties. You have missed me dearly. I have visited so many places since we last spoke. From the most Northern borders of the great state of California to the Southernmost point of Baja California Sur. I have Lifered (three times in Baja). I have Big Yeared ( 420 in CA 2013). I have Crushed (too many to count). In this chapter, I bring you Crushes from south of the border. 1) Alamos Wildlands Alliance. Is an old Colonial ...

BIRD CRUSHER: August 2013
http://birdcrusher.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 30, 2013. Crushing 101, An Introduction. Let's face it. Most of the photographs that people take of birds (myself included) belong in the garbage. Frequently, this does not deter people from sharing and showing these photos to hoards of internet users of the world wide webs. Isn't it time we had a place where this type of behavior wasn't allowed? A place where only the best photo in a thousand would be permitted to rear its beautiful head? The basic concepts of Crushing are simple:. Grace'...

BIRD CRUSHER: October 2013
http://birdcrusher.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 8, 2013. From Lowest Valley to Highest Mountaintop. This Yellow-green Vireo has been one of the best birds of the Fall on the Farallones this year. It's pretty messed up that I would repay him by just Crushing his face into oblivion. Dear Mr. Vireo: I'm sorry for Crushing you so brutally. It really did mean a lot to me that you showed up here and let me look at you. I appreciate your sacrifice in ways you could never imagine. Northern Elephant Seal, right fore-flipper. As you can see...

BIRD CRUSHER: September 2014
http://birdcrusher.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 2, 2014. I'm back. On the Farallones, and in the Blogosphere. I know I barely qualify as a blogger. I think I am fine with that. I have only been Crushing rarely since we last spoke. I will maybe go back and fill in the long gaps since the last installment, but for now here are some Crushey moments from the last few months. Do not despair dear Reader, they will come. They will arrive in hordes upon a south wind under a gray overcast sky and we will all rejoice. Brandt's Cormorant, SEFI.
