Quarter of a century later, I jumped at an opportunity to study environmental sciences, and guess what awaited me there? I didn’t study biology after high school because I told myself: no way I could possibly pass the chemistry! Yes, that very same bloody chemistry from which I have run for half of my life.

It tends to be the Jersey natives who drive too fast and refuse to build fences in their backyards who view wildlife as the enemy. You also note that “counting deer is an imprecise science” and that an aerial survey is expensive, “but some believe it yields the most accurate count.”

The new edition adds 11 species, birds such as Zone-tailed Hawk, Short-tailed Hawk, and California Condor that are only seen in specific areas of North America. As birders in New Jersey recently found out when a Crested Caracara showed up in a farm field in the middle of suburbia, hawks just might show up anywhere!

New Jersey. Bonus note for science nerds (not related specifically to birds): Whenever Chinese researchers give percentages, they do so up to two digits behind the decimal – thus the exact percentages in the HBW citation above. Examples: California. Connecticut. North Dakota. Rhode Island. South Dakota. Washington.
