With so much information on the Internet about how to raise an orphaned wild bird, how do you decide which advice to follow? If you are reading this, odds are you mean well and you want to help. I have been a wild bird rehabilitator for 26 years, and you have my gratitude and admiration for your willingness to provide aid to a helpless creature. But nearly all the feeding advice on the internet is wrong.

Second Chances A battered pick-up truck rattles up to the curb of a neglected house. The vacant property’s lawn is infused with crab-grass, clover and dandelions. Wispy white puffs of dandelion tufts drift above the yard resembling tiny wayward ghosts. … Continue reading → The post Second Chances appeared first on 4 The Love of Animals.

Since we first launched the Wildlife Conservation Stamp Project, we’ve made our case to thousands of birders and photographers. We’ve worked to change the dialogue around the Duck Stamp in public discussions and meetings, and we’ve reached out to Refuge officials and conservation officers to argue for the viability of this concept. As with anything new and in contrast to the existing model, it takes time to plant the seeds of change.
Animal Rights Zone brings together the best content for animal advocates and activists from the widest variety of industry thought leaders.

It’s summer, you’re in your house, and suddenly there’s a commotion. There’s a small tap, then a really fast chittering sound – as if a garden gnome has come to life and is furiously shaking a tiny pair of maracas. You rush over to investigate, and there are birds in your fireplace. They’re Chimney Swifts. Chimney Swifts are remarkable birds who are having a harder and harder time finding brick chimneys in which to nest and raise their families.

1. Two more sparrows on the macadam ahead of me… In my early birding days, I would simply assume that they are sparrows, possibly not even taking another look at them, but now I am too old to be so naive. Lowering my binoculars and focusing through a dusty windscreen… indeed, one of them is a handsome Tree Sparrow , but the other one is a bit darker and bigger and not a sparrow at all, but a Corn Bunting.

And then, two canids appeared in my scope field of view… My plan was that the downpour should finally be over in the morning, so I could go birding. The rain had plans of its own and now, 36 hours later, it is still going strong. However, I am a stubborn person. In a boring drizzle, I am driving along the dyke that separates the Danube backwaters from the arable fields (the only dyke in the area where driving is allowed).

I’m not always a Big Year groupie, and it took me a while to start following Neil Hayward’s Accidental Big Year. But, by December 2013, my eyes, and the eyes of birders across the country, were fixed on Neil and where he was headed next, and if—that huge if—he would see “The Bird.” Yes, Neil Hayward was in a position to break the Big Year record—748 species–of the fabled Sandy Komito, a feat that some birders said couldn’t be done (not so much for reasons of birding skill, but because of a

Every time I travel into a new area, I try to do my due diligence and have a pretty good idea of what bird species I might expect to find. A few weeks ago, when we traveled to Guadalajara, Mexico, I researched the many different species, especially the hummingbirds. Somehow is all my studies, the Motmots were never added to my “possible” list.

Sometimes birds are just a lot smarter than we give them credit for. There have been many documented cases of American Crows solving complicated puzzles in order to get food. The Carrion Crows , of Japan are known for gathering nuts, and then leaving then on the paved roads for the cars to run over and crack the tough outer shells. This behavior has been adapted to leaving the nuts in intersections with stop lights.

Summer weekends might not offer as many birds as other times of year, but they certainly offer the best conditions for enjoying whatever might be found. Nothing beats cracking open a cold one on a hot day and watching waves of fledgling yard birds suck our feeders dry. Sara and I were thrilled to find that an Eastern Screech-Owl visited us late at night.

Another weekend smack dab in the middle of a relatively static season as far as bird movement goes. But even the height of summer and the dead of winter have much to offer wildlife watchers who keep their eyes and ears open. And if the birds aren’t interesting enough for you, embrace the Kaufman Challenge and learn to recognize fifty species of plants and animals native to your region and then teach them to others.

I remember the very first time I saw the national bird of Venezuela. Out of the corner of my eye, I caught sight of a flash of orange disappearing behind a thick layer of tree leaves. Peering upward, I marveled at the stark contrast between the inky black and bright orange feathers, white wing-bars glowing in the general shade of the canopy. There was no mistake: I was looking at a Venezuelan Troupial.

As we put another July weekend in the book, so to speak, we should consider the difference between relative and absolute time. Most people I know–in the Northern Hemisphere, naturally–have already succumbed to the creeping dread that summer is almost over, despite all evidence to the contrary on the calendar. If you’re panicking too, stay calm and enjoy yourself.

I love condors and vultures. They get a bad rap due to their dependence on carrion to survive, but I look at it a different way: these species do not have to kill in order to thrive! Most humans cannot say that. Columbia has chosen one of the world’s most massive flying species as its national bird: the Andean Condor. Their wingspans stretch to 10 feet (the largest wing area of any bird) , and they weigh over 30 pounds.

I am not generally given to superstition. I do not, for instance, indulge in the strange tradition of saluting Mr Magpie. There is however one peculiarity that I will freely admit to. I talk to commemorative benches. Is that a proper superstition, or merely an oddity? I am not sure, but I have raised many a passer-by’s eyebrow when they catch me in conversation with outdoor furniture.

The Greater Roadrunner , Geococcyx, californianus , an iconic bird that is the symbol of many Native American, and Mexican legends. This speedy ground dwelling birds namesake has been used for a popular American car model, and without question, one of the all time great Sunday morning cartoons that we all grew up with. Hardly a brochure from the Southwest US or Mexico is published without the Roadrunners image on it.

The Common Moorhen still is in Germany what its name implies: common. Well, it is rather common and can even be scarce regionally, but overall it is not a difficult bird to find in Germany so long as a cunning birder frequents reedy wetlands. However, those populations in natural habitats take their rallid heritage quite seriously and are far more often heard than seen.

Birders concerned with ticking off bird species from a list in North America already know all about the AOU Supplement. For folks who don’t put much emphasis on taxonomic issues and classification of the birds they see, let’s start by saying that we aren’t talking about something that adds extra vitamins to your diet. However, like any supplement, this publication does provide something extra, something additional.

New York has wonderful birds. I love New York’s birds with a passion, from the parti-colored pigeons to the spring warbler fiesta to Jamaica Bay’s herons and ibises (but not the sandpipers. Never the sandpipers.). Still, there’s something about the moment, at six am, when two Sandhill Cranes stand tall out of the marsh grass and set up a back-and-forth call that echoes off the mountains.

It’s coming right for us! Ruby-throated Hummingbird photographed by Corey. If you’ve ever watched hummingbirds zip through a garden or tropical forest, you know what tiny miracles they are. So lightweight you could mail a few of them with just one postage stamp, so crazy-metabolic they have to eat their own body weight every day, so seemingly fancy free.

Much of the United States labors under what is being called a heat dome , and that doesn’t even touch on the flames being set off by our political conventions. As the temperatures rise, I like to think about crisp blue glaciers, like the ones I saw ages ago in Alaska. But then I recall all those wasted opportunities and how I wasn’t even birding back then; the way I feel hardly qualifies as cool.

When I was 12 or 13, I was given a hand-me-down camera, and started taking pictures, It was at this point, or at least very close to it, that I started pointing camera at birds. To this day, there is still that one early photo, a Forrester’s tern, caught beautifully in flight, every feather in amazing detail, that is the basis for my start. Birds, and my photography have been linked now for nearly 50 years, and I am just starting to feel like I am on to something.
