The Fall 2024 AVMA Animal Welfare Assessment Contest, also known as AWJAC, recently brought together hundreds of competitors from across NorthAmerica and Europe to apply science-based methods and ethical standards to assess the welfare of animals in a variety of settings.
I’m focusing on Turkey Vultures here because they are undoubtedly the species most birders in NorthAmerica (the home of 10kB) are most familiar with, but the name vulture applies to birds found around the globe. NorthAmerica’s Oldest New Bird – Rick Wright, The ABA Blog. Here’s the kicker though.
It’s a good thing too, because it is the leading gamebird in NorthAmerica in terms of total harvest and the widespread distribution of hunting effort. military, with all their ballistics and performance testing, it should be good enough for hunters.” References: 1 Birds of NorthAmerica Online , 2 Droege, S.

I strained to see them, could only see an occasional booby escape our bow, watch some of the hundreds of Wedge-tailed and Pink-footed Shearwaters zip by and hold on as our boat tested its speed.

This is particularly interesting for birders in NorthAmerica and Europe (duh!), since both species/forms may very well show up as vagrants on the wrong side of the Atlantic, and indeed there have already been reports of egretta from Atlantic islands off the coast of Europe (not sure if alba’s been claimed for NorthAmerica).
I recently participated in an “English Report Writing” training, sponsored of course by my employer, and this post will function as a test to see how well I was focussed on the lecture (instead of the sky outside the seminar room which may hold a black stork any day during spring migration).
Parent L'Oreal said the difficult economic climate hit Body Shop sales in Britain, Spain and NorthAmerica. When she sold to L'Oreal, with its questionable history and animal testing, it was a real betrayal of the company's practices and principles (in my opinion.)

Even more than warbler, shorebird, and sparrow identification, this is a field that tests our endurance (gull watching is too often done in bitter cold, windy conditions), patience (even getting one good photo can take hours as you try to separate the ‘interesting gull’ from the flock), observational skills (so many plumages!) Range Maps.
The juveniles were busy testing their wings, flying just above the water in a straight line, landing on the water, then turning around and flying back. v=9fHL7KHIi1c References: 1 Birds of NorthAmerica Online a. I only saw a few females at Manzanita Lake this year, maybe because we were there so late in the season.
Each week a new species tried to test the patch for nesting territory. I can watch where I step on my way to my survey spot, the cattle aren’t so cautious, Bobolinks need to be ready to move when the unaware bovine wanders near near the nest. Last year, I had a small fallow patch between two cornfields, barely five acres.
So, along with Lee, we created a test scenario and recruited 500 people across NorthAmerica and Europe to imagine themselves in a service failure situation. Four different combinations of the five apology elements were created to test for the best approach. The one clear and consistent winner was test Condition No.3.
Everyone is welcome to participate, especially people outside NorthAmerica. Which small brown birds have you found most baffling to identify? I’m writing a post to celebrate LBJs around the world and want YOUR input.

Tap water is not as cold as in Europe (and, I presume, NorthAmerica), but to be called lukewarm it should be warmer. Regarding the Covid, the usual measures were in place, and no one got it, at least no US, Canada, or French participants who did the mandatory testing at the end of the tour, as required by their home countries.

A Sage Thrasher – a vagrant from western NorthAmerica and only one of a handful of New York State records – was found on the other side of the Hudson River over in Columbia County in early November.
