Having flown to Washington State on a family vacation the first obstacle was easily out of the way, which you knew already if you ever read this blog. when the puffin flew past, a bird that the whole family can appreciate. Protection Island and Mt.
Environmental issues have joined no new taxes, no family planning, no illegal immigration, and no social safety net as irreducible (and nonnegotiable) planks in the Republican platform. How more blatantly anti-environment do Republicans need to be before birders act to protect themselves and their interests? It is well worth the read.
Since 1776 it has been protected land and the biodiversity there speaks volumes to what nearly 250 years of conservation can do. But I think that UNESCO explains things better than I can : The Tobago Main Ridge Forest Reserve is on record as the oldest legally protected forest reserve geared specifically towards a conservation purpose.
Perhaps the middle section of blog posts should be relatively boring in order to get rid of the more casual readers. For some reason, the Mandarin Chinese name of the Scarlet Minivet translates as “Red Mountain Pepper Bird” I do hope a Chinese reader of this blog can explain the origin or meaning of this name.

Every person has a responsibility to be part of the solution by doing something to protect and encourage the re-establishment of biodiversity. That every human on the planet ultimately depends on biodiversity and nature for stable weather and climate, food, water and fresh air; that is, life providing and supporting services. POST SCRIPT.
A young enthusiast, who blogs under the name of ForestPuffin , introduced me to the discipline when he came to visit at the end of August and I became quite captivated by the object of our outing, the Adonis Blue Butterfly. Many ‘blue’ chrysalises are found within ant nests, enjoying the warmth and protection until they emerge as adults.
The subject is one that comes up a lot in this blog and other bird blogs, the subject of cats and their effect on wildlife. And New Zealand has a fairly aggressive programme of conservation measures in place to protect native wildlife by killing native species, again something I have defended on th is site.
It’s my fantasy and it’s yours: Quit the job, say good-bye to the family, and bird. how guides and drivers are found and where they live and what their families and homes look like, birder friends who accompany him on some legs of his quest, and the quirky people he ends up sharing beers with, in bars in huts on stilts.

The one bird I did not see here, however, was the Bateleur Eagle … One highlight in the area is the Saddle-billed Stork , likely to be the tallest species in the stork family. Another member of the stork family, the African Openbill , looks like it is could benefit from a good orthodontist. And sadly, it is listed as Endangered.

Large areas of the islands are taken over as the breeding grounds of the Western Gull , a large bird that is without question the most ornery member of the family I have ever encountered.

Jon Fjeldså’s contributions include many of the ducks, yellow-finches, and many other families where his images of Birds of the High Andes could be used.

It can’t have escaped your notice lately that the blog has been overrun with articles about North America’s pseudo-warblers (or wood warblers, as some people, apparently unaware the name is taken by a proper European species, call them), and, even worse, no small amount of poetry.
Similarly, the Alpine Leaf Warbler is one of the more attractive species in an otherwise almost indistinguishable family of identical leaf warblers. (“But the difference in wing bars, Kai!”). If you think you have already seen enough photos of Elliot’s Laughingthrush, you may not be the right reader for this blog.
Of the Central Flyway states, Nebraska alone holds out in protecting the cranes, having proven by its longstanding Festival of the Cranes in Kearney that a crane is worth infinitely more alive and purring in the sky with its family than thudding, broken and bleeding, into a cornfield. I did email Jon Gassett with no problem.
I strongly suspect that the rate of attrition on this Loon family is inversely proportionate to the abundance of ducklings in the bay. The adults move to flocks, there may be two or three of them, that hang out mostly far off shore in the larger part of the lake, abandoning their embayments or otherwise protected areas.
Ka’ena Point is also a breeding ground for the Federally protected Laysan albatross, where 45 nests were being carefully monitored by the non-profit Pacific Rim Conservation.
