Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) that the coastal subspecies was actually a subspecies. 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. United States DOI , 2019 U.S.
For one thing, we become more aware of cultural biases in our science (new findings on warbling female birds, for example, reveal both gender and geographic biases). Many popular science books have neither. As Ackerman explains in her Introduction, studying extreme behavior brings new insight into what we think we know.
Fish & Wildlife Service (FWS) releases a survey called “ Birding in the United States: A Demographic and Economic Analysis.”. 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. Every few years, the U.S.
Dragan]: What puts Philip Briggs’s Sri Lanka into a class of its own is a special emphasis on nature and wildlife-watching tourism. This is the title for the person who lives for both literature and nature. Whittaker’s research aims to disprove the centuries-old assumption that birds do not have a sense of smell.
In just a few clicks I can determine that my 442nd Mallard sighting was a group of 50 at Steigerwald Lake NWR on October 25, 2019, that the checklist was started at 9:46 a.m And I will continue my quest to see all of my Top 25 National Wildlife Refuges for Birding too. In 2019, it is hard to imagine birding without eBird.
Clearly, author Phyllis Limbacher Tildes, the author of 24, soon to be 25, children’s books, is also a birder (and a little research brings up a presentation she gave at Ogeechee Audubon, Georgia with the biographical information and she and her family “love watching birds and wildlife seen near their lagoon on Skidaway Island.”
Flight Paths traces the history of migratory research in nine chapters, starting with the earliest attempts to track birds, bird banding/ringing (which she traces back to Audubon), and ending with ‘community science’ projects such as Breeding Bird Surveys and eBird. THIS IMAGE NOT IN THE BOOK. Schulman, 2023.
Fish and Wildlife Service’s estimates regarding the number of birders in the United States. Of course, there are many other possible definitions of “ birder ” so accurately estimating the overall number is more art than science. I have previously written about the U.S. I believe that FWS wildly overestimates the number of birders.
Everyone is looking back on their best birds of 2019, so I thought it would be a good idea to look at a book that looks back a little further: Urban Ornithology: 150 Years of Birds in New York City , by P. Most importantly, the section ends with a list of questions for future studies and recommendations for wildlife and habitat management.

After completing his PhD in Wildlife Ecology from the University of Queensland, Australia, the first author, Chong Leong Puan, continues his research on Malaysian birds. He is currently an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Forestry and Environment, University Putra Malaysia.

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.
