In September of 2017, PuertoRico was hit by two powerful hurricanes: it was grazed by Irma and then clobbered by Maria, a Category 4 storm that cut a devastating swath across the island. Immediately after hurricanes, surviving birds appear to wander in an effort to find any remaining food supplies and habitat.
I recently asked whether PuertoRico should be part of the American Birding Association’s ABA Area. I will suggest an answer to the question: this post makes the argument that both PuertoRico and the U.S. Now that Hawaii is in the ABA Area , the next additions should be PuertoRico and the U.S.
I enjoy collecting children’s books about birds and nature that I come across in the expected (book stores) and unexpected (academic library conference reports) places. Parrots Over PuertoRico is a wonderland of colors and shapes. The Taínos named the birds Iguacas, after their call. The birds thrive.
Daniel Cadena — “The Origin and Future of a Tropical Diversity Hotspot” Beyond that, I primarily limited myself to the subject matter of hurricane impacts on birds and anything about PuertoRico. Thus, birds may be moving from protected areas to unprotected areas, creating a conservation mismatch.
The National Wilderness Preservation System now includes more than 800 congressionally designated wilderness areas totaling more than 110 million acres in 44 states and PuertoRico. It is the only federal research group dedicated to studies needed to manage the National Wilderness Preservation System. Dingell Jr.
I could go on and on, it’s that kind of a book—a comprehensive treatment of a species we respect and adore, based on the most current research, written in a style that, while factual, is from the author’s viewpoint, flavoring facts with a witty, observant personal quality. Mitochondrial DNA analysis strikes again.
In a recent post, Corey listed five things to do when it is too cold to go birding and one of those things is planning birding travel. Here in Portland, Oregon, it is more frequently too rainy rather than too cold to go birding, at least comfortably. territories such as PuertoRico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Or How a Serbian Suave Playboy Promoted Birding the Caribbean. Oh, the joys of slipping through the pages of a new book that has just arrived, the Birds of the West Indies by Kirwan, Levesque, Oberle and Sharpe. Having a tropical maritime climate, birding the West Indies comes with a lot of water, from sea spray to humid forests.
A while back, I wrote several guest posts for 10,000 Birds and Mike and Corey asked if I wanted a regular monthly space. I often start with a question that piques my interest (frequently triggered by the news, social media, or other reading) and then I do some research. Birdresearchers are good people!
