At the time I was writing about cars, so I recall we travelled in a road-test Porsche. Apart from these Finnish summer sightings and a brief July encounter in Canada’s Northern West Territories near Great Bear Lake, most of my Waxwing encounters have been in winter. A young friend, David Tipling, travelled with me from Kent.
In a recent study , a team of French researchers set out to test whether a drone’s color, speed, and angle of approach affected different groups of birds. While drones have the potential be a great tool in the world of wildlife conservation, they can also pose a serious problem for the animals they’re trying to protect.
At least I could test them out. I picked out a Red-tailed Hawk bearing a squirrel away to a perch to eat, and got a sharp, crisp view of the messy dismemberment despite the gloom. But I was determined that the trip not be a total loss. So I brought along a new pair of Opticron Natura BGA binoculars. And the brightness was fantastic.
*An agreement in principle on new rules for animal testing has been reached by the European Union; *Ten laboratory chimpanzees retire to a Florida sanctuary; *A Spanish province begins a discussion on banning bullfights; *A record number of manatee deaths are recorded in the State of Florida; *The last known dancing bear is rescued in India.
This non-technical book is a development from a series of lectures, tried and tested in numerous adult education courses given to non-specialists. At some stage, a salmon-hunting bear at a shingle beach came too close, mere 9 steps. Those bears live in the wild and are not used to humans.
Cat-like reflexes will be put to the test when the human player launches up to five playing pieces onto the field where they tumble, collide, and bounce around. Buddy fearlessly faced off against bear, horse and bird mascots for a round of “You vs. Cat, “and Friskies has the instant replay highlights to prove it.
The long-term objectives of the project are varied but include the monitoring and observation of macaw nest sites, developing and testing nest boxes, recording the varied patterns of clay lick use by large macaws and parrots and better understanding the impact of tourism to this world famous clay lick.
Oftentimes, head nodding during the planning process doesn’t bear out in practice. Agility around objectives rarely works, but agility around execution and tactics can help you stay nimble, test new ideas and make faster adjustments to get back on track. Put some juice across resources and departments to fix that.
It bears an iconic name associated with insanity and betrayal, but also with time and seasonality. I also put it to a worthy first field test on December 29th during a successful twitch of an Arctic Diver that had turned up at a small lake right next to Heidleberg. I saw the Cuckoo the second day of its visit.
Many gringos make their way to Baja California Sur every year, although the majority are probably heading to Cabo San Lucas to party and test the human limit of tequila endurance. They do bear some resemblance to Sage Thrashers , but have a much heavier, more sickle-shaped bill. Especially if you can fit in some birding?
Even the ones that bear the same plumage as their progenitors, however, can usually be distinguished by their larger bulk. Like manky mallards, ganky geese display remarkable variety due to both the methodical manipulations of breeders and the variable volatility of the more natural kind of breeding.
Or, you might end up in a situation like mine where you ask a test question late on Mothers Day morning, “Daisy, how do you feel about me going birding the rest of the day?” There is powerful force that can be brought to bear on this situation and it is within the ranks of us birders. How can we make this happen?
But when HSUS purchased several of these jackets, the jackets arrived bearing the labels "Made in China" and "genuine raccoon fur." According to the AP story, nine of ten jackets tested by HSUS were found to have trim made of dog fur, but were mislabeled in violation of federal law.
