'“It is next to impossible to persuade people in India to donate money for injured raptors,” says Nadeem Shehzad, co-founder of Wildlife Rescue , a registered non-profit in the Chawri Bazar area of Old Delhi. “They are considered unlucky, so no one has a kind heart for them.”. But Nadeem and his brother, Mohammad Saud, have kind hearts, boundless energy, and ever-increasing medical skills, and have been almost single-handedly returning Delhi’s injured raptors to the sky for the past twelve years

'Issue Date: 2015-01-05. Author: Ron Shapiro. Teaser: Even in strong sales environments, sales reps are quick to accommodate longtime customers' demands to cut pricing in order to keep their business. The better course - and one that is achievable in most instances - is to focus on maintaining the relationship while not compromising pricing integrity.

'To the Editor: As Mark Bittman rightly notes, California’s new farm animal welfare law presages what is coming for all farm animal industries nationally (“ Hens, Unbound ,” column, Jan. 1). The tiny cages and crates that confine about 90 percent of laying hens and more than 80 percent of gestating sows are both physically and mentally tormenting for the animals involved.

'I have been working in the avian world for 25 years, but last summer I was out-birded by a 14-year-old girl. Actually, I was bested by an entire group of teenagers, all gathered – along with 36 adults – on Hog Island , Audubon’s famous camp off the coast of Maine. Each year Hog Island offers programs, taught by a stellar staff of naturalists and artists, to groups of all kinds (teenagers, adults, families).

'Costa Rica led the charge long ago to define what ecotourism could really look like. As a result, some of the most popular and exciting birding destinations in the world run on Tico time. What then does it take for an ecolodge to bring something fresh and new to the current array of Costa Rican destinations? The answer at Finca Luna Nueva Lodge is to create a pure and vital ecosystem within which birders, botanists, and naturalists of every stripe can follow their bliss without sacrificing comf

'February 2013. In front of us, in the Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve one wild Grey Junglefowl runs across the road. It is one of the ancestors of domestic fowl. Traveling the rural Maharashtra on previous days, every village had its share of small, slim and long-legged domestic chickens crossing in front of us, not unlike this wild cousin at all. Nowhere in India have I seen broiler horror-chicken like those sold in supermarkets back home.

'Maharashtra, February 2013. Trying not to inhale so much of the dust cloud that envelops us, I am sporting a bandana tied bank-robber style. A winding track through dense woodlands takes us to the Telia Lake in the southeast of the Tadoba Tiger Reserve in Maharashtra. There’s a Three-striped Palm Squirrel by the side of the track, while Jungle Bush Quails are running across it in front of our Maruti Gypsy, almost the official safari vehicle of India.

'Happy New Year, nature lovers! No matter how many phenomenal birds you spotted or how many glorious ecosystems you explored in 2014, your year list is now reset to zero (though most of you probably rectified that matter on New Year’s Day!) A pristine weekend lies before you like an untroubled field of freshly fallen snow. Make your mark and see some birds.

'An unmistakable and improbable-looking bird. -Pete Dunne. For me, one of the best parts of going to Florida for the Space Coast Birding and Wildlife Festival is the chance to see Roseate Spoonbills. Ever since I saw my first spoonbill, a vagrant in New Jersey , I have been a bit obsessed with the big, pink, bizarrely-billed birds. Three years ago I shared a gallery of images of spoonbills at Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge but I think it is time for another.

'Despite my fraught relationship with listing, there’s always been part of me that loves the idea of a Big Year. ( The nerdy part.) Of course, a person who doesn’t drive, ping-pongs between two states, and has finals in April and new classes every September is not ideally situated to do any kind of Big Year at all. A marginally-employed NYC freelancer, on the other hand… couldn’t do a conventional Big Year, or even a state Big Year, but a NYC Big Year would be more within

Color morphs are controlled by a single gene locus where the dark allele is incompletely dominant to the light.

'I think some of the antagonism towards listing in birders comes from the mistaken belief that one’s list is nothing more the basest commodification of birds, living beings with incredible life histories reduced to a number. I tend to see things the other way around. My various lists – life, ABA, county, yard – are collections of memories, each one precious.

'Pelagic trips are a gamble on the vastness of the ocean. They can be incredibly dull or amazingly exciting on smooth seas or big waves. They can bring awesome rarities or nothing much at all. Rarely, you run aground. The point is almost anything can happen when you are out in a boat on the water but it certainly won’t happen, at least not to you, if you aren’t on the boat.

'We are on the threshold, just stepping across it really, of understanding one of the most important evolutionary events that ever happened. I speak of flight, of course. This is a key feature of birds. Not all birds fly, but all birds have flight related anatomy and at least descend from those that did. Indeed, we call the very rare non-fliers “flightless.” We don’t call any rodents “flightless rodents” though almost all of them are.

'It’s January, it’s very cold, and I don’t have much time to bird. Where do I go? Forest Park! Though the diversity of species in the deep freeze of winter is low it is always a pleasure to visit the feeder array at the waterhole which attracts most of the species that are present in the park, even some that are pretty unexpected. Brown Creepers love visiting when some suet is smeared into the bark.

'There were so many potential titles for this post, from some of our greatest songwriters ( Sting , Robert Smith , heck even Leonard Cohen ). But at the end of the day, none of them can compare to the sound of a male Greater Sage-Grouse in love, almost alien in its ardor. And these dudes’ vocalizations and “sonations” increase in intensity when a lady Sage-Grouse is present—which, in turn, seems to increase the male’s mating success.

'The early teen years are prime time for kids to adopt environmentalism as a cause. The human sense of fairness and empathy is strongly in place by age eight or so, while puberty sparks the sense that authority figures don’t always know best and that heady idealism that old fogies tend to see as self-righteousness. So YA and middle-grade novels with environmental themes have, it seems to me, a natural constituency.

'Somehow, the Couch’s Kingbird is still there. Or was as of yesterday, according to the New York birding list serv. Given that a lively discussion of its chances (and those of the Cassin’s Kingbird – unreported since Sunday the 4th) had broken out on the self-same list serv in light of our recent chilly weather, I got to wondering what we actually know about vagrant flycatchers in snowy climes.

'A bird species battling an onslaught of invasive rats just got a glimpse of hope. Researchers say that South Georgia Pipits have hatched chicks. (Image above by Brian Gratwicke/Wikimedia Commons). While this is happy news for any parents, and wonderful news for any threatened species (these Pipits live only on Antarctica’s South Georgia Island and number only 3,000-4,000 pairs), it’s tremendous news for those trying to eradicate rats from the island.
