First banded in June of 2001 at Five Rivers Environmental Education Center (where I saw my trigger bird ) she is at least 11 years old! The oldest Yellow Warbler ever documented was recaptured in June (link is very slow to load).
isn’t “behavior” synonymous with “life” itself; isn’t the title of David Allen Sibley’s 2001 tome (also encyclopedic, also delightful), The Sibley Guide to Bird Life and Behavior, redundant? Other than purely physical things (e.g., feathers, nictating membranes, muscular cloacae, etc.), Maybe, maybe not. One or the other.
He or she doesn’t look very excited about being photographed… I’m not sure if it’s me or the rain… or maybe the bird is simply curious as to what I am doing? This final shot shows the white edges on the Western Kingbird’s black tail. References: 1 Sibley, D.A. The Sibley Guide to Bird Life & Behavior.

It was January, 2001, and here in the southern hemisphere January is the hottest of summer months. Date: January 24th, 2001 (08:30-11:00h). Like a ritualized dance, it unfolds its wings, takes a peek, folds them and moves a few steps, then unfolds again…. I would not have minded having some shade myself.
In 2001 I was offered the chance to joint-lead safaris with my good friend Brian Gibson, owner of Capture Africa Safaris , a long established and well-respected Botswana based safari company. I am a wildlife artist based in the UK, I have never had a real job!
In fact, the bird is the fifth recorded in the history of the state,* and the first spotted in the Empire State since 2001. Second of all, Lewis’s Woodpeckers are birds of the west and they rarely stray to New York State. Third of all, the bird that was first seen on 30 October is, as of this blog posting, STILL THERE!
This 12,000 square-foot facility, completed in February 2001, is one of the two primary oiled bird facilities built by the Oiled Wildlife Care Network (OWCN) in California.
At this point, let us travel in time, back to the last day of the year 2001, and down to the Lowveld National Botanical Garden in Nelspruit, in South Africa’s province of Mpumalanga. While scaups were present in Belgrade this whole winter, they somehow eluded me, so I got out to see them. And I saw them. I felt… I felt like a tourist.
A gorgeous tribute to the search and rescue dogs, people, and victims of the attacks on 9/11/2001. We remember. originally appeared on 4 The Love of Animals on September 11, 2010.
Since 2001, chimpanzees have been housed at APF, where they cannot be used for research. Here's an action alert from Physicians for Social Responsibility.
Now, one million hamsters are kept as pets, an increase of 41 percent since 2001. Prior to the 1930s, hamsters were pretty much in the wild. Prior to the 1970s, virtually all were descended from one breeding pair. This includes the two sitting on the shelf in our house!)
I worked as a guide and on macaw projects in Tambopata in 2001 and 2002 and the diversity is simply astounding. All the best, CK Pat ODonnell Mar 9th, 2011 at 10:03 am If you are a birder with the time to volunteer for this, apply for one of those scholarships!
Starting in the mid-1990s, there was a “where to watch birds in…” series of five site guides written by Nigel Wheatley and covering South America (1994), Africa (1995), Asia (1996), Europe & Russia (2000) and Central America & the Caribbean (2001). I was always curious, but never had a chance to study any of them.
The chimps have been free from testing at the Alamogordo Primate Facility at Holloman Air Force Base since 2001. The NIH proposed sending them to Texas to be used in research aimed at finding a hepatitis C vaccine. Animal welfare activists protested the transfer.
You may find it bulky or not, whatever the case, compared with its predecessor, a two-volume Birds of Ecuador by Ridgely (2001), it is as compact as can be. The objective answer to the weight question is 2.6 Yes, you can always opt for an eBook, but to me, the only book is the real book.).
The Painted Snipe Project was established in 2001 to address the lack of knowledge on the species. They have very cryptic camouflage and easily hide in the mud. They can drop into dips and keep one of their highly positioned eyes on their surroundings.
Kisiri, Tambo and another female white rhino were airlifted from Kruger National Park in South Africa in 2001 through the efforts of the International Rhino Foundation (IRF), a non-profit organization dedicated to the protection of rhinos. The birth brings the total white and black rhino population at the adventure park to eight.
First Cat from 1993-2001): Socks was a black and white “tuxedo” American Shorthair cat belonging to Bill Clinton. Today is George Washington’s birthday! So in celebration, here is a fun list of Five Famous First Pets. Socks the cat. He often visited schools and hospitals.
The ‘707 patent bears the uninspired title “Bird Feeder,” and it issued in July 2001. Patent lawyers refer to patents by the last three numbers, so Patent No. 6,253,707 is called the “707 patent.”.
Mlelani, Tambo and another female white rhino were airlifted from Kruger National Park in South Africa in 2001 through the efforts of the International Rhino Foundation (IRF), a non-profit organization dedicated to the protection of rhinos. The birth brings the total white and black rhino population at the adventure park to 12.
Field guides offer little information on birds’ reproductive lives unless there is an identification component, but handbooks such as The Sibley Guide to Bird Life & Behavior (2001) talk extensively about courting and breeding behavior.

Enter the Hackensack Meadowlands Development Commission in 1969, created by state legislation, renamed the New Jersey Meadowlands Commission in 2001. (Bruce Springsteen lyrics about “the swamps of Jersey” from his popular song Rosalita didn’t help matters.)
Introduced in 2001, Beneful is one of the most successful dog food brands in the Company’s history. Manufactured by Nestlé Purina PetCare Company, Beneful brand dog food offers a full line of wet and dry formulas that offer a perfect balance of taste and nutrition.
Google’s Timeline marks its first occurrence as a syndrome in March 2001: “The annual report has long been disdained as a bright shiny object unworthy of attention from the serious investor. I first noticed the phrase “bright shiny object” a few years ago; now it’s all over the place. read more'
At that time it was not a nature reserve at all and the forty hectare piece of land was only acquired in 2001. We visited North Cave Wetlands on October 22nd this year while we were in the UK and it is across the River Humber from my parent’s home and close to where we worked when we lived there in 1987.
The Cornell team is no doubt having a fantastic day of birding up there in beautiful spring Colorado while they identify Cassin’s Sparrow, Prairie Falcon, Lazuli Bunting , and other western birds in some of the same places I surveyed in 1997 and 2001.
Like Peterson’s Hawks of North America, 2nd edition (Houghton Mifflin, 2001), which Clark co-authored with Brain K. I am guessing that the term ‘raptor’ is used in the title to denote wider coverage than ‘hawk,’ which is sometimes limited in common usage to hawks and eagles, leaving out falcons, New World vultures, and Osprey.
But recent trends are disturbing: after years of stability, the wintering bird community declined dramatically after 2001. Guánica has large now-rare tracts of high-quality subtropical dry forest and has historically supported a large and diverse population of wintering birds. Although the declines are clear, the causes are not.
Wheeler (HMH, 2001) is comprehensive. These are must-have volumes for hawkwatchers, especially in their descriptions of flight style and tips for identifying hawks from far away. But, they are not comprehensive treatments. Hawks of North America, 2nd ed. Peterson Field Guide Series) by William S. Clark and Brian K.
David Beadle has a number of bird books to his credit; he is co-author with James Rising of Sparrows of the United States and Canada: The Photographic Guide (2001), and has contributed both illustrations and photographs to many other guides, including the forthcoming Antpittas and Gnateaters by Harold Greeney.
Manfred Kuehn, Kant: A Biography [Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2001], 384-5) Note from KBJ: I no more think of myself as a citizen of the world than I think of myself as a citizen of North America or of the Northern Hemisphere. I'm a citizen of the United States (as well as some of its subdivisions, such as Texas and Fort Worth).
But in 2001, Marcel van Tuinen and his colleagues published a DNA study of waterbirds that proposed a then-shocking sister relationship between flamingos and grebes, two groups “which otherwise show no resemblance,” the authors wrote at the time. The diving, piscivorous grebes were usually grouped with loons.
throughout the 70s, 80s, and 90s, but alligators killed 12 people from 2001 to 2007. Since 1948, there have been more than 275 unprovoked attacks on humans in Florida, of which at least 17 resulted in death. There were only nine fatal attacks in the U.S. In May 2006, alligators killed three Floridians in less than a week.
Red-crowned Parrots have been present in southern California since at least 1963 but weren’t added to the California checklist until 2001. No, this post is about the awesomeness that is Red-crowned Parrots on the loose in Irvine Regional Park.
The scale of massacres is such that in 2001 the Italian customs found 120,702 dead birds from Serbia in just one lorry. Then comes summer and the birds start migrating. And on their way south, they reach the killing fields of northern Serbia ( Newsweek on poaching in the Balkans ).
In Gaines’ first novel Carbon Dreams (2001) the science (there, geology) tended to overwhelm the story, but in Accidentals, she incorporates ornithology and microbiology skillfully into a well-woven whole. Her narrator is Gabriel, 23, raised in Northern California by an American father and a Uruguayan mother.
On the contrary, the birds were quite satisfied with their new-found freedom and realms, and started breeding immediately after their escape in the spring of 2001, much to everyone’s surprise. Turns out, it wasn’t. This may not be Argentina, but it’s apparently close enough.
The Baltimore Ravens crushed my beloved New York Giants in Super Bowl XXXV (2001) to become football’s finest feathered franchise. In the previous 50 Super Bowl match-ups, only twice has a football team named for a bird emerged victorious.
Published in 1965, with the latest revised copy issued in 2001, the Golden Guide inspired many birders and is still cited in some circles for its pioneering sonograms and beautiful artwork. On the plus side, there is a very good index–easy to use, directing the reader to both people and concepts.
Tice (July 2001). There’s reason to believe, a few, maybe just a very few, reinforced the memory by their rare and haunting appearance. Online Sources: Tri-Counties Genealogy & History by Joyce M.
So, I was very excited when I heard that Rick Wright was writing a book about sparrows, the first treatment of North American sparrows since 2001, possibly the first book about sparrows of North America, depending on your definition of that geographic area.
His books since have included regional editions of his guide, The Sibley Guide to Bird Life and Behavior (2001), Sibley’s Birding Basics (2002), and the Sibley Guide to Trees (2009). His art is beloved (if you have owned a Sibley calendar at least once in your life, raise your hand) and his bird expertise is widely respected.
