Cattle wandered this pasture along with me (one cow even attempted to taste my carbon fiber tripod). Each week a new species tried to test the patch for nesting territory. They usually leave the nest at about 10 to 11 days–regardless, that is some fast growing! It’s a good strategy for Bobolinks to have.

Here is a little test-there are 6 species of shorebird in the photo-can you identify them? This year will be tough on many birds as further mudflat destruction to construct factories in China means that they may not be able to feed in areas that they have known in the past. I am often amazed how tolerant the shorebirds are on big tides.

The underlying premise is that you can know what is right (such as me knowing what's right then eating cow flesh in the form of filet mignon for a year), but that by no means will necessarily manifest in your behavior. This, now, is a very practical matter, where all measures we take must be tested empirically on their consequences.
