But I have now visited Magee Marsh in autumn, or, technically, the very tail end of summer, but whatever the season might actually have been the birds were not in their breeding finery and they were heading south. Thanks to the folks at the symposium for having me and I’ll see you all in 2013! …

I participated on the first edition of this event in 2013 as a support member for the South African team. Where these birds come from and where they go after their short breeding season in the Tumbesian region of Northern Peru is still poorly understood. This time however, I am a lead member of a participating team.

About 600 individuals currently live in captivity as part of a breeding program, and there are reintroduction programs underway in the states of Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro. . In 2013, Dalcio Dacol and I paid a visit to this reserve as part of an independent, month long birding trip in southeast Brazil.

Up to the mid-20th century, Pygmy Cormorants were a common breeding species of wetlands around Belgrade… until the wetlands were drained and the birds were lost, at one moment – from the whole of Serbia. In December 2013, we already had 2200 birds. Four fifths were gone! Yet, they are nothing if not resilient.

At the beginning of the 20th century they were nearly extinct, with no breeding pairs left in the west of Germany and just very few in Germany’s East. They were protecting the last three pairs that were left in West Germany from egg thieves! Ospreys have shown a remarkable recovery in Germany. Go Eagles!! all the way to Saxony.

Even among the protected areas of Serbia, the Iron Gates National Park (in Serbian: Djerdap) stands out as better preserved. Keep in mind that the special nature reserves (dark green on the park map) enjoy the highest level of protection and are off limits to visitors (possible only with research permits issued by the park authorities).

This year’s theme is “PandaQuest” which shifts the focus from panda breeding and rehabilitation in captivity to re-introduction in the wild. Pambassador finalists will participate in the current panda release plan, designed to re-introduce captive bears into the wild. Isn’t that exciting?

The endangered Golden-cheeked Warbler breeds only in Texas Hill Country near Austin and San Antonio, but much of its nesting grounds have cleared in favor of subdivisions. For example, a developer could set aside land for protection within the project (“on-site mitigation”). That would theoretically result in “no net loss” of habitat.

The authors’ detailed delineation of problems with the accuracy of NYC breeding bird surveys or with the limits of historical writings may test a reader’s patience. The recommendations will sound familiar to any birder or naturalist who wants to protect and improve her local patch: Immediately shut down cat feeding stations.

There is not just one comparative layout of gulls flying; there are plates of small and medium-sized gulls in non-breeding plumage, dark-winged larger gulls, 1st-winter larger gulls, 2nd-year larger gulls, 3rd-year larger gulls, and white-winged gulls. The chapters, however, offer very good introductions to each bird group.

Third, observing and photographing breeding birds and their young have become acts of ethical confusion as birders, photographers, and organizational representatives debate the impact of our human presence on the nesting process. Some people love books like that. Northern Flicker eggs in nest and nestlings.

Of the Central Flyway states, Nebraska alone holds out in protecting the cranes, having proven by its longstanding Festival of the Cranes in Kearney that a crane is worth infinitely more alive and purring in the sky with its family than thudding, broken and bleeding, into a cornfield. Additionally, sandhill cranes reproduce very slowly.
