I usually restrict my unfair jokes to humans. While they winter together on some of the Western islands of Japan, they then migrate along very different pathways, one on the mainland and one along the string of Japanese islands. Judging from my experience in the human world, a very predictable result.
And now, researchers from Japan, Germany and Sweden confirmed what I knew all the time, like if I needed them to tell me so. Such syntactical rules have long been assumed to be unique to humans, but their results demonstrate that syntax is not unique to humans.
It’s very hard to organize the many ways in which human beings relate to avian beings into comprehensible text. It includes stunning photographs by Tipling of eagle hunters (as in Kazakhs who hunt with eagles), Stellar Sea Eagles in Hokkaido, Japan, and Black Kites at the dump near New Delhi, India.
There is a profound difference between what Sea Shepherd does and what the Animal Liberation Front does, but there are also similarities, and those similarities increase in number if a direct action by the ALF (or anyone else) is an open rescue and therefore a direct defense of sentient nonhumans being attacked by humans.
This would have allowed you to summarize your experience in sentences such as “A total of 98 boluses regurgitated by 52 chicks aged 1 day to 11 days after hatching form the sample and are shown to contain 323 food items.” Where it is not – for example, in Japan – it will have difficulties finding a partner to mate.
This is the story of Fox’s experiences on board the Achiever, the research vessel of the Raincoast Conservation Foundation. The species was seemingly killed off by feather hunters, but then, after years, reappeared at the site of one of the deserted breeding colonies, Torishima Island in Japan.
Range: Steller’s sea eagles are endemic to coastal northeastern Asia, inhabiting regions in Russia, Korea, Japan, mainland China, and Taiwan. Conservation efforts are crucial to ensure that future generations get to experience the awe of seeing these incredible eagles soaring through the skies. Wingspan: 6.5 feet (1.95 kilograms).
But while humans mainly try to stay slim and fit for health reasons, Eurasian Siskins care more about the danger of being eaten. Bird pairs were observed over time – it seems that (unlike in humans, particularly US Americans, these days) most pairs lasted until the death or disappearance of one of the two birds.
Incidentally, Italy, Belgium, and Portugal are among the eighteen countries where falconry is inscribed as a living human heritage by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESC0), attesting to the great heritage of this sport in many parts of the world.
It seems the ones I got decent photos of are all juveniles – it generally seems to be easier to get photos of juveniles as they have not quite learned to avoid humans. Thank god that this does not apply to humans. Sometimes being a member of the human race feels very embarrassing. Not this one though.
To research this book, he traveled extensively to see as many woodpeckers as he could; this field experience was supplemented with museum research and consultations with other experts, plus a library of print material ranging from field guides to scientific papers.
So sorry, but this is a necessary part of our thought experiment!) Let’s do another thought experiment. First, I set the dial to produce the kind of high energy radioactive radiation stuff that would be emitted by an atomic bomb, and calibrate it to dose you (sorry, but this is necessary for our thought experiment!)
I’m sure many of you have had similar experiences. It’s also about human-owl interaction on an individual level and a wider sociocultural level, and ultimately how we can use all this for habitat and bird conservation. Humans were drawing owls 36,000 years ago, as Ackerman points out! They are also hunted.
