Like the fabled honey badger, grackles don’t care. We weary winter warriors need some serious respite. Shouldn’t someone be sending St. Bernards with brandy barrels on their collars to help us get through this? The snow and cold hardly seem to faze them.
Why not the stoat family or the badger family?) The same goes for the badger, an animal that has become much more numerous and widespread in Britain in the last 50 years. Sightings of squashed badgers by the side of the road are much more common than seeing live individuals, unless you make the effort to watch a sett.
That Dickcissel you see atop this post was not photographed in the Badger State, but rather by Corey in Orange County, NY.). The results suggest that grasslands, often populated by diverse species of grass as well as wildflowers, tend to support more varieties of birds, including declining species like Dickcissels.
We heard, but didn’t see, a Brown Wood-ow l, and best of all a massive cat-sized Red Giant Flying Squirrel and a rabbit-sized Sunda Stink-badger. A pair of mating vipers. Sleeping Black-headed Pitta!
A few kilometres on, one European Badger hates swimming over the river, but prefers to walk across the bridge in full floodlights. Not realising that it was in any sort of danger, it stops by the roadside, merely a metre from the car. Farewell, sweet playfellow.”. Birding Europe Serbia wetlands'
The tussocks are badgers, the stones are grouse until they fails to fly away. The cottonwoods in the river bottoms echo the branching antlers of the elk that bugle among them each falls (abundant, but never enough so for Montana’s voracious hunters.) In the winters the snow lies heavy and researchers travel in and out by small plane.
Badgers are being caught for dog-baiting. I don't get it. The Brits are known for their animal rights activism, but there's been a rise in wildlife crime against all animals. Apparently they are seen as nuisances. Bats are being targeted. A bird species is near extinction.
Even though they naturally nest in burrows mainly created by ground squirrels, badgers and prairie dogs, Burrowing Owls ( Athene cunicularia ) also use artificial burrows. I may be stretching it here but I am going to include my all time favorite raptor here as a cavity nesting bird.
We have naughty badgers and cheeky foxes who dig and defecate, but there is no sense in getting cross if you have invited them in and take pleasure from knowing that they regard your garden as good habitat.
Likely he’d sacrificed those feathers escaping an attack; Sage Grouse have numerous predators on the high plains, including coyotes, badgers, and Prairie Falcons. The rest of his plumage seemed fine. This fellow’s chances of being a daddy this year were pretty well shot.
The most spectacular case was in Krasnoyarsk Zoo (Russia), where people could watch the life of very interesting and strange family, consisting of four puma cubs, stray dog Mary and baby-badger. Later, little badger found himself in the same situation: Mary did not accept him immediately, but eventually she received the fifth kid.
She has done the same with the fox and badger cubs, she licks the rabbits and guinea pigs and even lets the birds perch on the bridge of her nose.” The list of orphaned and abandoned youngsters she has cared for comprises five fox cubs, four badger cubs, 15 chicks, eight guinea pigs, two stray puppies and 15 rabbits.
There are 172 species of butterflies recorded within the national park, 24 species of bats, plus the Beech Marten (which I saw only as a road-kill), Otter , Wild Cat , Badger , Wild Boar , Grey Wolf and the European Brown Bear, among others. Other taxa. Maps and guides.
Vipers dominated, as well as some smaller snakes, but we also found a Sunda Stink-badger and a sleeping Hooded Pitta. It was the perfect experience, the guide had astonishing eyes and found things we would have passed over if we had been alone. Best of all, the guide moved on quickly from things like the pitta rather than disturb it.
And for thousands of years the lizards, rodents, and birds of North America adapted to Fishers, Badgers, Wolverines, Ermines, etc. Dogs are similarly dispersed across size ranges, with Foxes, Coyotes, and Wolves taking prey across different parts of the size range. among the Mustilids, and Coyotes and to a lesser extent Foxes.
reduce traffic casualties amongst Badgers , get the White-tailed Eagle back as a breeding bird, increase the number of protected plant species etc.). The project will take another year to complete, but in about a month from now, we should have the first samples finished on www.ecosim.nl. - so far you have focussed on European nature.
If so, then badgering the sales force to “work harder” is a losing strategy. And here’s why: It’s my observation that most people work hard. In fact, I think most people work about as hard as they’re going to work, with the exception of an occasional deadline or emergency situation.
The increases on my patch are small, but locally significant and due to several things: the way the man who farms the ground manages his stock and his haylage fields; our putting up electric fences around nesting sites to keep foxes, badgers, dogs and, dare I say it, people at bay; and the hard work put in by the keepers on the estate to reduce the (..)
badger observing me for a few seconds, a pair of young golden jackals showing well (maybe too well for their own safety), brown hares sometimes running joyfully along the levee and paying no attention to me, as well as the ubiquitous invasive coypus (originally from Patagonia).
Nothing is sacred, not even Big Bird or Honey Badger. The party is now one of THE social events of the season and people plan their costumes for months. We really do have to research the nnsexy because, costumes make EVERYTHING sexy these days.
Despite mostly guiding them, I still somehow managed to see a European Badger sitting and watching me back for several seconds, before it slipped into bushes and quite a few White-tailed Eagles , e.g. four in just one morning. Mostly, I was showing the area to journalists and talking to cameras.
Besides my little tiny no-car problem, I tend to huff and puff at high altitudes; a noise so much like a very hungry badger that any sensible bird will disappear long before I come into view. They are high-altitude birds, and will only come as far down the slopes as they are forced to by the weather. Besides, I’ve read Into Thin Air.
One recommendation I can make is the night walks in the Orangutan Centre, which got us snakes, a Sunda Stink-badger and a sleeping Hooded Pitta. Combine this with one of the best places to watch lowland species and you’ve got a winning combination of entertainment for birders and non-birders alike. Kinabatangan River.
32% admitted pressuring/badgering their sales representative. Overall, problems with small businesses are up and government agency troubles have tripled in the past three years. Here are some highlights: In 2015, the average time wasted on problems was 1 to 2 hours. In 2023, complainants reported 1 to 2 wasted DAYS!
