The typical woodpecker, with its coloration of black, white, and red, is ingrained into our brains as birders. We all have our familiar species and we all know our local woodpeckers well enough that a quick glimpse is often all we need to identify them. Because many of our common woodpeckers are such a regular sight we rarely end up taking more than that quick glimpse.

Gene Bauer from Farm Sanctuary appears in this article. Pretty intense, but I hope people read it. There is a disturbing hedonism to eating. I went to a restaurant for a work lunch and everyone ate meat but me, even the animal lovers. We just don't think about where that flesh came from.and most of us don't care.
Animal Ethics
MARCH 5, 2011
[I]t is not quite clear whether we owe benevolence to men alone, or to other animals also. That is, there is a general agreement that we ought to treat all animals with kindness, so far as to avoid causing them unnecessary pain; but it is questioned whether this is directly due to sentient beings as such, or merely prescribed as a means of cultivating kindly dispositions towards men.

Few living things are created perfect. But I think hummingbirds are as close to evolutionary perfection as one can get. These enchanting nectar feeders have truly mastered the art of flight like no other bird. A high metabolism and the ability to rotate their wings through 180 degrees enables these little gems to fly forward, backward and pretty much everything in between.

In the final version of Walt Whitman’s famed poetry collection Leaves of Grass - the “Deathbed Edition&# - there is a poem dedicated to the Magnificent Frigatebird , or, as Whitman knew it, the Man-of-War-Bird. &# To the Man-of-War-Bird&# was actually first published nearly a quarter-century earlier in the British literary paper, The Athenaeum , and was reprinted in 1878 as &# Thou Who Hast Slept All Night Upon the Storm&# in Progress , a Philadelphia-based literary journal.

The national bird of Sweden is the Blackbird Turdus merula , otherwise known as the Common Blackbird or Eurasian Blackbird , though, of course, in Sweden it is not known by any of those names but as Koltrast.* The Blackbird became the Swedish national bird as a result of a newspaper poll in 1962. Beyond the charisma and song of the species it is unclear why the Swedish people chose the Koltrast as their national bird.

I never would have thought that a film that focused entirely on North American sparrows could be so delightful. But the new second edition of Watching Sparrows * by Michael Male and Judy Fieth, who have a whole series of bird films already produced or in production , not only kept me staring at the screen but drew in family members to see what I was watching, to say nothing of my cats, who were enthralled by the sparrows singing on screen.

A big bruiser of a bird, the Glaucous Gull is nothing if not bulky. It sometimes looks like a gull built from a child’s blocks, with its square-headed appearance and barrel-chested brawn. But when Larus hyperboreus is viewed from the back of a boat as it fights for position in a chum line it transcends its simple shape and becomes a thing of beauty.

I was in Florida last week, the freakiest of the southeastern states. Its peninsular shape, dipping so seductively into the neotropic Caribbean, suggest a haul of bizarre and fascinating birds found nowhere else on the continent. All true of course. But not only is Florida’s native birdlife pretty amazing, it also hosts strange exotics; species brought here accidentally and on purpose that for one reason or another managed to break free of the bonds of captivity and make a new life on f
