Plus I’m more of a bird rehabilitator than a birder, which is where the mongooses come in. Birding bird rehabilitator mongoose Tanzanian birding wildlife rehabilitators' I tell myself that I’m not here to go birding, anyway, I’m here to write a book about the Children’s Village. What do you mean, ‘four more’?”
I was in a bird photography hide in Kaeng Krachan National Park in Thailand (with Alex Vargas) and we had just had an absolutely fabulous day enjoying and photographing a great variety of birds (and a Crab-eating Mongoose) when we were just getting ready to pack up and leave.
In addition to historic habitat loss and hunting, Nenes face introduced predators such as mongoose and feral cats. With help, the Nene population has increased to around 2,000 individuals. Still, these geese face significant population threats.
On the mainland they face predation from domestic cats, dogs, genets, mongoose and Cape Gulls which steal their chicks and eggs. Although African Penguins can live upwards of 25 years in the wild, they face a tough life evading predators.
The combined effects of hunting, habitat loss and predation by introduced animals like rats and mongoose have extirpated the species from some islands and reduced numbers significantly on others.
Slender Mongoose. A number of routes have already crossed back and forth a couple of times between the fleets. I am keeping my fingers crossed that JNB and CPT will one day make a welcome return to my rosters. Even in the days of roll film (remember that?)
I have seen unconcerned Cape Grey Mongoose and Four-striped Mice though. The gardens also have some mammals, although for the most part you’ll need to show up very early if you want to have any hope of seeing Cape Fox , Caracal and Cape Grysbok. The Forest Canary is one of several that can be found in the area.
Cape Mongoose are also easy to see. You can also get Black-necked Grebe here (Eared Grebe to Americans) and if for some reason you don’t want to see Greater Flamingos in a drainage ditch in the rest of the city you can see them here instead. The network of roads through the ponds are open to the public and easily birded from a car.
Other animals that have rarely been seen on film such as the Palm nut vulture, bush pigs, mongoose, monitor lizards and snakes feeding on fish and crabs found in the Mangroves. The program is going to include large animals such as the hippos and their movements through the system.
So far we have seen Impala, Duiker, Greater Kudu, Mongoose, Zebra and warthogs around the neighborhood, and yard. The house is a four bedroom, four bath two story, with a deck running around three sides of the upper story, great for wildlife viewing.
In some regions of the world, the carnivore landscape is taken up by many different cats at the middle and larger range, and by things like civets and mongoose at the smaller end. The male and female versions of all the Mustilid in a region will not overlap much in carnasial length.
In addition to the birds there were also Mongoose (introduced, of course) that called the area around the mini golf course home. It was interesting to see them in the company of Bananaquits. Yellow-crowned Night-Herons nested in the canopy and White-crowned Pigeons roosted there. White-crowned Pigeon Patagioenas leucocephala.
Oddly, I saw no rats, only a mongoose or two and a few stray dogs. At the carcass depository gate, our driver pulled his turtleneck sweater over his nose and bravely drove into the valley of death. One large banyan fig as well as all bushes around were completely covered with flies and their eggs – every inch.
The causes were the usual reasons for island extinction—deforestation by both humans and invasive plants that crowded out native plants, hunting, and invasive rats, mongoose, monkeys, and, of course, feral cats.
