They define geographic range as encompassing “something like 99.99

I had neither seen before nor heard of an example of a leucistic* Ruddy Duck but a quick Google search let me know that this is definitely not the first (not surprisingly). He lives in Forest Hills with Daisy, their son, Desmond Shearwater, and their two indoor cats, Hunter and B.B. Go check it out! Thanks, Corey!

If I was an ornithologist aiming for a grant, I would now definitely highlight the need for more research on this topic. Barn Swallows are a bit unhappy with their image as restless aerial hunters and would like to gain a more stately and dignified profile. Accessorizing for birds.

There are 160 to 200 species of marine birds here, depending on your definition of “marine bird” (Fox defines it as “species traditionally considered coastal,” including birds like Sandhill Cranes with the more traditional tubenoses, gulls, and ducks).

From what I’ve been hearing, sport hunters are chomping at the bit to also return to the forest in droves. No longer was its call wafting through the hills, this time it was definitely nearby. Accompanied by hordes of hungry hounds, the peace we enjoyed in our last outing may not be replicated.

And then, in 1996, a farmer/fossil-hunter named Li Yinfang found a unique fossil in his home province of Liaoning–a beautifully preserved turkey-sized creature that clearly had feathers. People and history come into play in “The dinosaur hunters,” a chapter on larger than life personalities such as E.D. No feathers!

As a brand name, “The Famous Grouse” makes for a rather boastful claim – particularly with that obligatory definite article. It’s also one of Scotland’s most iconic birds and the favorite quarry of hunters during the August season that begins on “The Glorious Twelfth”. Black Grouse by English artist Edward Lear (1812-1888).

Grant saw one once in the Hunter Valley in 1999 and I was behind on the trail and only heard the mimicry, so I considered this my “lifer” We hoped we would get another chance, but there’s no guarantees in the birding world. Suddenly I saw it-it ran down from in between us and crossed the stream- Superb Lyrebird !!

Since I was mapping-in human ‘territories’ or home ranges, and trying to figure out how tropical hunter-gatherers found their way around the landscape, the mechanisms of migration were interesting to me. (It Well, no, definitely not. And, much of the research being done in those days was about the mechanisms.

It provides goals and a definite direction for your birding travels and thoughts; sometimes it even becomes the basis of a book!
