There can be no doubt that this year is an irruption year for Red-breasted Nuthatches. Sitta canadensis isn’t just irrupting out of its far northern home but exploding southward, with reports in every southern state except for Florida, including birds on the outer banks of North Carolina, on Grand Isle, Louisiana, in a suburb of Atlanta, and on the Gulf Coast of Texas.

Having a pet does not mean you have to give up hopes of having a lush, well-manicured yard. Although dog ownership may pose some challenges in the quest to achieve garden greatness, it’s definitely not a hopeless cause. The key is balance. You may need to make adjustments to your landscaping design in order to create a safe, welcoming environment for your canine companion, and the dog should make certain compromises as well.

Dear Professor Burgess-Jackson, I'm a great admirer of your animal ethics blog, which I've found to be an invaluable resource. I just wanted to share a link to Gary Francione's recent philosophy bites podcast. An interesting debate has taken place in the comments section regarding Francione's (mis)interpretation of Peter Singer—hope it will be of interest!

Yes ladies and gentlemen, the fall season is officially upon us. It’s that magical time of year when a turkey themed thanksgiving and a candy heavy Halloween on the horizon make us more than happy to swap our sexy swimsuits for sweaters. Likewise, the four-legged member of the family is equally happy to see the leaves hit the ground. While we may not be too excited to see the mercury drop, we’ve also never had to wear a fur coat through the summer.

Today is Blog the Change day, a special day where bloggers write about animal causes near and dear to them. So today I want to tell you about my personal favorite, Best Friends Animal Society. Above is a photo of Flat Buster. Buster is the mascot for Strut Your Mutt , an amazing event where dog lovers come together to raise money for Best Friends. But what we love most about Best Friends is that they don’t just help dogs, they help birds, cats, horses, and more!
Animal Rights Zone brings together the best content for animal advocates and activists from the widest variety of industry thought leaders.

We were very excited when we were contacted about BBC’s Planet Dinosaur ! The series will introduce you to all kinds of dinosaurs through the use of computer animation. It is pretty amazing, and educational as well as entertaining. It can also be fairly realistic at times, so it might not be suitable for very young audiences (there is a bit of blood, after all, dinosaurs didn’t always get along).

Target has some really adorable Halloween costumes for pets this year! We got a chance to try out the skunk, and while it was a bit too small for our girl, you can still see how adorable it is! Had it fit properly, the skunk head would have been on her head with her ears popping out of two little holes next to the skunk’s ears. Really adorable!

This migration season in Florida is fast coming to a close but it has not been without its high points. The Florida Keys Hawk-watch broke the world record for number of Peregrine Falcons recorded in a single day – a stunning 651 birds! And at the South Florida Birding Observatory we have been banding a few surprises over the past weeks. This research station is located on Key Biscayne and is providing interesting data on migration over the eastern Florida coast, an area with high human pop

Oktoberfest, a two week period in the first half of October, is perhaps the most anticipated time of the year for the South Florida birder. No, I am not referring to a Floridian spin-off of the world’s largest fair in Munich, Germany meant to celebrate everything beer. I am referring to the peak of autumn migration for neotropical migrants arriving on their wintering grounds or passing us by to the south.

When songbirds endeavor to head hundreds or thousands of miles south they are risking everything in order to find a place that they can winter and hopefully survive in order to head back north and breed. Migration is the single most dangerous thing that birds do and many don’t survive as Greg pointed out in his recent post. Humans have made migration much more difficult with our roads, our huge glass buildings, our rapacious appetite for development, our introduction of predators.

The corner of the blogosphere inhabited by nature lovers circa 2005 was, like most frontiers, an unruly place full of empty spaces and opportunity. Birders online, despite our commonalities, had little sense of connection or community. But what we did have was our own blog carnival! The inaugural edition of I and the Bird featured sixteen bird bloggers from around the world, many of whom are still blogging today (right Sharon and Clare ?!

A while back I asked the question, How much bird is there, anyway? which was a comparative look at apparent, visible, often in your face biomass we observe when we as diurnal primates look around us. I had noted that if you took a quick look around you’d think there were a lot of birds and very few mammals. Of course, a lot of the mammals would be hiding.

Skin diseases can drive both the dog and his owner mad. Every dog owner will agree to this, won’t they? The dog’s incessant licking, whining, and scratching are not only a heart breaking sight but also maddening to listen to hour after hour, day after day. There are basically five types of common skin diseases in dogs. These include allergies, auto-immune/immune mediated, infectious skin diseases, developmental/hereditary circumstances, and internal diseases.

Ecuador was made for birdwatchers! A tiny country filled with biodiversity which can be easily reached in a short drive… Well, maybe that is a little exaggeration but in comparison to other countries like Colombia, Peru and the giant Brazil, our Ecuador seems tiny. This proved to be true this last week when I got news that the Banded Ground Cuckoo had been seen only two hours away from my home.

Saturday of this weekend saw a Le Conte’s Sparrow reported from Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn. Somehow, I have never seen a Le Conte’s Sparrow , which leaves a gaping hole on my life list among many other fine Ammodramus sparrows. I bet you can imagine what I was doing early on Sunday morning! That’s right – I was at the scene at Floyd Bennett Field just after sunrise hoping to see the bird myself.

In the last month I’ve been pretty lucky in terms of getting photographic opportunities with some birds of prey. Some of these images, or images from the same series of photographs, have appeared in previous posts on here on 10,000 Birds but it seemed worthwhile to gather them together. All of these birds are, of course, wild and free, and none were induced to come closer to me in any way and none were flushed by me.

Where to Place Your Birdcage By Ernie Allison. So you’ve got a new pet bird. It looks pretty and healthy, and he/she seems to get along with you well enough. You’ve got a good cage and included everything your bird should need (newspaper lining the bottom of the cage, some toys, some bird seed, etc.). All you need to do is set the cage down somewhere and you’re good to go, right?

A few weeks ago I was working out in the garden and noticed a small bird flutter into the garden. It was a Bewick’s Wren ( Thryomanes bewickii ). This bird didn’t look like the Bewick’s Wrens I was used to seeing. It was more mottled looking than others I had seen. It wasn’t very active and appeared to be molting. I believe the bird pictured above (click on photos for full sized images) is possibly a young bird going through its prejuvenal molt.

Every fall and spring for the last several years I have been putting together a collection of wood-warblers spotted on migration. Why stop now? All of these birds were photographed in the last couple of months in New York and New Jersey as they made their way south on their amazing migration. I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I enjoyed photographing them!
