Introducing the Charles M. Russell National Wildlife Refuge

10,000 Birds

APRIL 20, 2012

I’ve spent a lot of time in, and done a lot of writing about, the Rocky Mountains, their beauty, their climate moods, and the wildlife that lives here. But eastern Montana contains the equally though differently stunning high plains, a world unto itself with very different wildlife meeting very different challenges.

That could, in turn bolster efforts to boost population numbers in places like Missouri, where Greater Prairie Chickens barely register in the triple digits. This map shows Bird No.

Timothy Barksdale is a birder, Prairie Chicken documentarian , and wildlife videographer well-known for his stunning Adventures with Birdman. The figures released by the United State Fish and Wildlife Service show there are millions of us…. so… since I am from the state of Missouri: Show Me. Or perhaps even better Show Them.

For example, my list of the Top 25 National Wildlife Refuges for birding includes an excellent location in Minnesota ( Minnesota Valley NWR ). (Inexplicably, eBird does not consider Puerto Rico part of the United States, but if it were properly included , it would do well, with 107 species.).

They are not working for people or wildlife. This is a moment when birders will need to begin to pay attention to our choices if we want to have certain birds to watch. This moment is about beginning to see in a new way. The ways we have developed since the end of WWII are not working. The human world is on the move to where the money is.

Not having a smart phone, I called a friend in New York and had him Google up some wildlife rehabilitators’ numbers, but they were all out of service. But that is supposedly still well east of us, having only been detected in Missouri this spring. Leaving it there did not seem like a good option. Animal Control was on the way.

Shouldn’t I be much more worried about people in a catastrophe the size of the F5 that hit Joplin, Missouri? Kelly Preheim was talking about the large numbers of Snowy Owls on the nearby National Wildlife Refuge. About 4 years ago, I met a kindergarten teacher in Armour, SD, about 10-12 air miles away from Delmont.

Second, it was wiltingly hot and compressingly humid, as one might expect in Missouri in the summer in the middle of the day – and not only does such weather discourage birders, it takes a toll on the birds as well. And, of course, creeping people out, however inadvertently, doesn’t make one a good ambassador for wildlife.

Birds, mammals and other wildlife, humans and landscapes are all rendered magnificently. But the main attraction of the book, it must be said, is not Clavreul’s prose but his artistry in watercolor. Maybe that’s so because he worked entirely from life and not photographs, he says.

Reading Deb's post about the goslings at Poplar and getting Jenny 's request to sign a petition to save the Canada geese of Ballwin, Missouri from mass extermination reminded me how much I miss the wildlife at the neighborhood we lived in from 2002-early 2005. Not to be confused with Little Girl, of course.
