I was intrigued by an article called Birding without Borders, in the current issue of Audubon magazine, because it was about a wonderful young author/birder named Noah Stryker. A few months ago, I had read and included mention of Stryker’s new book, The Thing with Feathers (a real treat to read!) in a post on my blog.

Imagine my delight (as someone who loves to find connections between Torah and birds) to see the title of the global map that Stryker and Audubon included in the magazine article. The map pinpoints all the sites across the world that Stryker will visit on his upcoming Global Big Year, and the map’s title is (what else?) ‘Noah’s Arc’!
I’ve been following his journeys on the audubon website. It’s fascinating! 🙂
Glad you knew about Noah’s blog, Jet – I’ve just started to read them. His book is a really fun and informative read, too – I loved it.
Thank YOU for stopping by~! Enjoy the day!!
Beautiful captures Carol! I checked Birding Without Borders, sounds very interesting! Thanks for the post! 🙂
Thanks, H.J. Yes, it sounds like a great adventure to follow – a fascinating article.
I am aware of the book, and will try to read the book.
I love your photos….the one with the wings spread wide is stunning.
Shabbat Shalom!
Thank you, Lorri ;-). Hope you get a chance to fit in “The Thing with Feathers” – it’s really delightful. (That’s a Great Blue Heron with the enormous wingspan.)
Shabbat shalom to you, too!!
Thanks for sharing the info. These are great photos.
Glad you enjoyed the info and the photos, Pat. Have a wonderful day~!
I wish we could go as easily through each country as do the birds.
The thing is though, some countries are dangerous for migrating birds, like the glue-covered sticks in Egypt that trap birds. In Cyprus, trappers kill millions of migrating songbirds to boil or pickle them. I retract my first statement. Birds have it pretty bad in some of these countries.
I still think it would be wondrous to fly across what we humans call ‘borders’ and travel to faraway places! 😉
