He writes about how experienced birders think, and how they draw on the sciences of weather, geography, and ecology to analyze where the birds will be. How to Be a Better Birder by Derek Lovitch Princeton University Press, 2012, 208p. Lovitch takes the practice of birding ten steps beyond. 53 color illus.

After unexpectedly losing his beloved dog Sparky, young Victor harnesses the power of science to bring his best friend back to life—with just a few minor adjustments. Here is something to help tide you over until the movie opens on October 5, 2012! “Frankenweenie” is a heartwarming tale about a boy and his dog.

In the four-part ABA Blog series on subspecies , published in 2012, he argued we know too little about subspecies to use the term, and that birders should “show the characters of humility” and adapt alternative ways of articulating geographic differences. Species are useful handles (p. 16, below).”

NARITA, JAPAN, DECEMBER 2012 – The art and science of layover birding deserves more rigorous study and perhaps a federal grant. From what airports should one sally forth during a layover of many hours? Better yet, what airports are worth converting that layover to a full-fledged stopover of 24 hours or more?

Over two years (2011 and 2012), scientists captured 50 birds and successfully transported them from Niho to Laysan. No birds died during the translocation and the one-year survival rate was 58% in the 2011 and 96% in the 2012. The “results” section summarizes the outcomes.

But, I think it’s also time to start exploring new frontiers, new types of bird books, titles that allow us to leverage our citizen science data, explore the implications of local bird distribution and status changes in conjunction with related habitat and even political and legal change, and strategize for change. Which is true.

Consider that Paulson’s Dragonflies and Damselflies of the East (2012) covers 336 odonate species and think about the difference in geographic size and you get a sense of the concentrated diversity in Costa Rica (though the authors note that the rate of diversity is still less than the increase in diversity for butterflies and orchids).
