Animal Person , someone who is clearly smarter than me, has a great analysis about the recent "Pepper" series in Slate about animal research. At least he didn't try to make me feel happy or warm and fuzzy about animal research. By the end of my time as researcher, I was performing behavioral experiments on humans.

Kudos to eBird for describing the bird as an “energetic little bird with a tennis ball body and a long tail” Another definite entry into this guide will be the Rufous-faced Warbler. As I frequently mention, science is quite wonderful. Life is too short to blend in.”

Birding can be enjoyed at various levels of intensity, from casual birdwatching in one’s backyard to more dedicated pursuits that involve keeping birding lists, participating in birding competitions, or contributing to citizen science projects. My impression is that rarities are not nemesis birds, as they are definitionally rare.

In the slightly frighteningly named journal “Science of The Total Environment”, there is a paper on organochlorine compounds in Purple Heron eggs nesting in sites located around a chloralkali plant (Ebro River). Summary result: relevant chemicals emitted by the plant can be found in the eggs. Bye, bye, Lesser Coucal.

This is essentially a survey of ornithological marine research told in the voice of one of its most passionate and experienced participants. Mostly, as you can probably tell from the last paragraph, I learned how a marine ornithologist thinks, and how challenging this research can be. Who is it for? The penguin fanatics.

You’d think, then, that applying science to philosophy by studying the evolutionary underpinnings of thought and behavior across species would be right up my alley. Right away, we have a definition problem — those who hold to any kind of mind-body dualism are unlikely to be swayed by the ideas in this book.

To an intermediate-level birder like me, the material in Better Birding –highly focused, detailed, based on the latest research and years of field experience– is daunting, but also fascinating. Sullivan are birders as well as writers, researchers, and organizational administrators, and this makes a big difference.
