As one topic example, Marconi Campos-Cerqueira presented a paper entitled “Past, Current and Future Distributions of Puerto Rican Fauna: Implications from Climate Change.” He then compared those habitats to protected areas, finding that much of the future habitat is currently unprotected.

Going against her natural inclination, Lisa is protecting the identity of the woman who hit him, as rehabbers in several states are gunning for her.

Interesting to learn, for example, that in 1885 more than five million birds were killed in the United States for the millinery industry, and that in 1904 market hunters in Oregon killed over 120 tons of waterfowl for the restaurant trade in San Francisco, Portland, and Seattle.

Other of Higgins’ examples are not so familiar but make perfect sense, pun intended, and make for fascinating reading.

In other words, an experimental population of an “endangered” species is treated as “threatened,” which has fewer protections. For example, for “nonessential” populations, FWS is not allowed to designate “critical habitat.” But that does not necessarily mean there are no protections.

Individually, many NWRs protect crucial bird habitat. For example, essentially the entire population of the endangered Whooping Crane winters at Aransas NWR in Texas. Because many NWRs were established to protect migrating birds, they lie along one of the four primary flyways. It’s not just for the birds.

If birders are willing to spend so much money in the pursuit of birds, it seems some would be willing to spend some on protecting them as well…right?

But fortunately it’s also something of a novelty, and its rarity has attracted attention, and this has led to the species being not only protected but as a tourist attraction.

The first concern is the most important, the vital knowledge, because we can’t protect and preserve populations of migratory bird species if we don’t know where they stop to rest and refuel. With all of that bird movement going on, one can’t help but wonder where and how often they stop. What do they eat?

When I worked for a bird observatory in California I learnt quite a lot about this, for example that the ABA had to change the rules about whether birds counted if you heard them. The birders trying to flush up Yellow Rail is a good example of this. But still, birders generally do want their birds to count. Merely that some might.
