Most interesting is that one’s knowledge of important things like where to find food (or danger) was based on experience not on general principles. So an Efe off his trail, or another trail he knew about, was not much better than, say, me (after a couple of years gaining my own experience) at having a clue. So remember.

More importantly, I know which groups/families occur in these regions, which ones resemble each other, and where to find them in my books even in cases where similar groups are found in different segments of my field guide because they are not closely related to each other. This means I know my birds quite well.

Steve Howell has spent decades of experience in the field studying the birds of Belize, Costa Rica, and especially Mexico.

Parrots captivate me more than any other bird family. However, they do not occur evenly across their familial distribution. In my experience, parrots form a visibly and numerically important component of the Brazilian bird fauna. Brazilians call it sabia-cica in reference to its thrush-like song.

A number of families exist on Trinidad but not Tobago. Most notably the family of New World Vultures.

Generally the large family herds of buffalo are peaceful, but the old bulls (called “dagga” boys, “dagga” being a Zulu word for “mud” since they are often covered with the substance after their long wallows) who have left the herds tend to be furious with life in general and anyone they can smash in particular.

But, sometimes an appreciation of birds and birding requires more than a reference book with images of birds and facts about their identifying field marks.

The decision to add a canine companion to your family is certainly a big one. With the growing awareness of pet overpopulation more and more families are choosing to adopt a shelter dog and save a life. Most shelter staff will refer to this as kennel fever, noted by a negative impact of remaining locked up in the kennel too long.

My librarian self is partial to a more strict taxonomic organization, but with no hope that the constant shifting of families will end in the near future, this type of sequence is making more and more sense.

Wrynecks are fascinating because they are woodpeckers, taxonomically and evolutionarily, yet they do not share many behaviors and anatomical features of most members of the Picidae family.
