He noted that this new bird had longer bills and “darker loral and auricular regions” than the mainland Brown-headed Nuthatch, and collected two of them for science. He gave one to his home institution, the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia and the other to the American Museum of Natural History in New York City.
A logical and outstanding successor to The Genius of Birds (2016), Ackerman’s award-winning book about bird cognition, The Bird Way explores the diversity of bird behavior, the norm and the extremes, with an emphasis on cutting-edge research and findings that explode assumptions. Many popular science books have neither.
The most recent report was issued in December 2019 and it used data from the 2016 National Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated Recreation. In 2016, the ABA was starting an ambitious recruiting drive, to expand its membership from about 12,000. If 1 in 100 birders was a member of the ABA, that would pencil out to 1.2
More recently, a group of developers petitioned FWS to delist the gnatcatcher because the underlying science was allegedly flawed and the coastal gnatcatcher is not really a distinct subspecies. As a result, FWS denied the petition to delist in August 2016. Robert Zink, a biologist at the University of Nebraska (the “ Zink study ”).
They may be about bird eggs ( The Most Perfect Thing: The Inside (and Outside) of a Bird’s Egg , 2016), or a 17th-century ornithologist ( Virtuoso by Nature: The Scientific Worlds of Francis Willughby, 2016), or How Bullfinches learn songs from humans ( The Wisdom of Birds: An Illustrated History of Ornithology.
The book focuses on two listing events: her 2012 Louisiana Big Year and her 2016 Louisiana 300 Year. Chapter Two is a potpourri of stories about nemesis birds, birding by ear, birding for science, under the rubric of birding ‘for the love of it.’ ’ What was left to write about? ” I wondered.
Inquiring Minds: Improving Elementary Science – Linda Lippe’s presentation at our 2015 Deming in Education Conference. See our popular 2016 videos post for more of these gems, I didn’t duplicate any I listed there in this list. Edwards Deming Institute You Tube Channel (as of February 2016).
Sadly, the ‘Alala do not survive, not her birds, not the neighboring wild birds, not the Hawaiian Crows released in 2016 with great hopes for re-introduction. 49-50) She is also adept at writing about conservation’s larger context in terms of its history, public policy struggles, and the science behind species re-introduction.
These figures are from Jeff Gordon’s introduction in the February 2016 issue of Birding.) But that estimate is admittedly more art than science, depending, as it does, on one’s estimate of what fraction of birders would engage in these countable activities. If 1 in 100 birders was a member of the ABA, that would pencil out to 1.2
On both continents, interspecific and spatial variation in population abundance trends are well predicted by climate suitability trends. Stephens, Philip, et al. Consistent response of bird populations to climate change on two continents. 352:6281(84-87). The process of analysis was complex, but the result is fairly simple.
One of these days, Jeopardy will feature a category called “Field Guides” and the first clue will be: “This landlocked South American country finally got its own bird field guide in 2016, but it wasn’t available in the United State until 2019.” Clearly, this is an under-birded country. .
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.
MailChimp has got this down to a science by giving away its basic model for free. When we choose the latter, we control the messaging and simultaneously open previously locked, bolted and walled-up doors. Do the things you and your company are really good at, but leverage your success in a way that uplifts others. Appreciate the little guys.
At first glance, you might not think that such subtle configuration changes, using elements already proven to be individually effective in previous apology science studies, would produce a single, consistent winning framework. Prior to our latest research, apologies had been a reasonably well-studied area.
Teams excel at high-speed interactions, and they are especially successful when they are diverse in role and gender [Rock & Grant, “ Diverse Teams Feel Less Comfortable ” HBR 2016]. Tim Houlihan is chief behavioral strategist at BehaviorAlchemy, blending real world experience with behavioral science to improve ROI for clients.
According to a 2016 study by Radford, “[ sales] employee turnover is once again at five-year highs across most of the technology and life sciences sectors. It stings that much more when the individual is a top performer whose experience fell short of their expectations.
Biological Conservation 199 (2016): 146-156. That summary was based in part on this paper: Freifeld, Holly B., Long-distance translocations to create a second millerbird population and reduce extinction risk.”
Ignotofsky is best known for her 2016 book Women in Science: 50 Fearless Pioneers Who Changed the World, of which Scientific American noted “The world needs more books like this.” Questions, scattered throughout the text, move the story forward—and draw attention to the importance of science. And What’s Inside a Bird’s Nest?
Birding can be enjoyed at various levels of intensity, from casual birdwatching in one’s backyard to more dedicated pursuits that involve keeping birding lists, participating in birding competitions, or contributing to citizen science projects. According to the U.S.
10,000 Birds also has an eBird profile and since I as a beat writer in 2016, I have been a part of that group. Moreover, it contributes to science (and economics ) and the price is right. Predictably, the states I have lived in (California and Oregon) have the most species, as does nearby Washington.
If in 2016 the Republicans hold on to the House and Senate and manage to take the Presidency the damage that will be done to our environment will be disastrous. Alisa Opar over at Audubon has a good rundown of how bad this Congress is for the environment. Be afraid for our future and that of our children.
There is no doubt in my mind that the annual Great Backyard Bird Coun t (GBBC) is the most impressive citizen science endeavor in the world. The 2016, the GBBC ran from February 12th through February 15th. This year the event was even preceded by an article in the New York Times.
The HBW has a helpful editor’s note dating from 2016 stating that the species account is still being edited. It is much more common in easily accessible areas, leading to a much longer HBW entry (the “looking for the keys in the area with the best light” joke again, if you know what I mean).
Jennifer Ackerman points out in the introduction to What the Owl Knows: The New Science of the World’s Most Enigmatic Birds , that we don’t know much, but that very soon we may know a lot more. What the Owl Knows: The New Science of the World’s Most Enigmatic Birds is a joyous, fascinating read.
As 2015 comes to a close and birders the world over start thinking about what 2016 will bring we here at 10,000 Birds would like to take a moment to celebrate our best birds of 2015. 2015 was great and here’s hoping 2016 will be even better. I love participating in citizen science! A country-first? That’ll do nicely!
Sullivan (PUP, 2016), a twelve-page article with comparative photographs. It is missing one item, the chapter on “Yellow-bellied Kingbirds” in Better Birding: Tips, Tools & Concepts fort the Field by George L. Armistead and Brian L. The list of Useful Websites is still short but has one noteworthy addition–Surfbirds.
The EU-funded LIFE+ project, called Reason for Hope, is coordinated by the Austrian association Förderverein Waldrappteam, and is claimed to be the first science-based attempt to reintroduce a migratory species to its area of origin. The ibises were initially trained to follow a microlight aircraft over the Alps.

Since 2016, the Rustic Bunting has been listed as Vulnerable, as data suggested rapid population declines (HBW). But then, maybe not – it seems to be the nature of science that the more you know, the more you want to know. However, the most common bunting at Nanhui in winter is the Pallas’s Reed Bunting.
