In reality though, this is actually a pretty stellar nesting strategy. You see, potoos don’t require a nest to protect - or hide - their eggs and young. A nesting potoo simply chooses a suitable knot in the branch, lays its egg, and its body does the protecting and the hiding.
To protect this woodpecker and the post-fire ecosystems it depends on throughout California, in September 2010 the Center for Biological Diversity and the John Muir Project petitioned to list the bird under the California Endangered Species Act, earning it “candidate” status in the state, which does offer some protections for the bird.
He then compared those habitats to protected areas, finding that much of the future habitat is currently unprotected. Thus, birds may be moving from protected areas to unprotected areas, creating a conservation mismatch. Expanded protected areas, buffer zones, and connectivity corridors may be needed to avoid local extinctions.
Mallard s are a good example, a hearty and endurable bird that can survive sub zero temperatures so long as they found ample supplies of food like corn and some open water to roost on and be protected from coyotes and foxes. Migration has the unknown, storms, buildings, wind turbines, glass and a surprise loss of fueling habitat.
We have also observed pairs of Pied Oystercatchers choosing sand over rocks and each pair appears to use the same strategy year after year. Sometimes they nest in rocky outcrops despite soft beach sand being close by. The Red-capped Plover nest that we have observed this week was by chance, which is often the case.
This strikes me as a puzzling communication strategy for an important issue. The ABA’s mission statement is vague: “The American Birding Association inspires all people to enjoy and protect wild birds.” Simply put, birding is fundamentally different than it was 50 years ago.
Fortunately, naturalists can still observe this species quite readily at the Linhares Reserve (it harbors the largest wild population by far) in northern Espirito Santo, a 22,000 hectacre preserve that protects a piece of secondary lowland forest. Our strategy on each day was to be the first people on the road in the morning.
So does protecting the extremities, as ducks do with the counter-current heat exchange in their feet and ptarmigans do with their feather-shaggy slippers. Beyond this, many birds who are routinely exposed to great cold have adaptations that help them limit their heat loss.
And there is only one certain way to protect the lower parts of the city from floods: let the river spread and flood some other area, before it reaches the city. In the last few years, its members have eBirded 205 bird species within the IBA borders, 136 of them within Beljarica and 108 of those strictly protected under Serbian legislation.
Up north, strategies for a Big Day have to include knowledge of sites for breeding birds, the best places to find migrants, driving times, and the ability to identify by sight or sound, anything that peeps, flies, or pops into view.
The highly specialized foraging strategy of flamingos makes them vulnerable to the effect of subtle changes in habitat quality. The Andean Flamingo is now protected under the Endangered Species Act of 1973. The status of its preferred wetlands throughout the year dictates movements that often results in a nomadic lifestyle.
Here is where the rictal bristles act as a shield protecting the eyes from spiky legs and flapping wings. This is how, many species occupy the same habitat and use seemingly the same foraging strategy. A wide gape and flat bill act as a “butterfly net” the larger the rim, the greater the chances to scoop a flying insect.
The idea is that by engaging these communities, people would not only take pride and protect these sites, but also will see them as potential sources of revenue as visitors pay small entrance fees and spend money hiring services and purchasing goods from these communities.

Our observations recently have shown that the adult Pied Oystercatchers are roosting amongst the shorebirds where possible and it may well protect the juvenile Pied Oystercatchers. We are hopeful that this strategy of roosting amongst so many other birds may have advantages and help in the survival of the juvenile Pied Oystercatchers.
Both pelicans have a very specialized foraging strategy that depends on abundant fish near the surface. Pelicans are protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Both are the only Pelican in their non-overlapping breeding grounds. Peruvian Pelican in non-breeding plumage. Photo: Albert Michaud (Creative Commons – Flickr).
Less than one year ago, Puerto Rico enacted a landmark animal protection law, based in part on a set of model laws drafted by the Animal Legal Defense Fund. states and jurisdictions with regards to the strength of their laws protecting animals.

The Pied Oystercatchers are actually incredibly predictable when it comes to the dates that they lay eggs, the locations that they choose and the various strategies that each pair use in order to protect their young. They laid a second clutch within a week and they then sat for another 28 days sharing the sitting duties.
The main problem appears to be feral cats, but there is also predation from birds of prey and the parent Pied Oystercatchers do their utmost to protect their young.

The book serves as a model of how our environmental success stories can be presented to the non-birding public, the citizens and legislators who are responsible for funding conservation projects and habitat protection. When I first started birding New Jersey, I didn’t really know where the Meadowlands started and stopped.
Could scientists use weather radar data to track the spread of avian influenza, and thereby help poultry growers protect their flocks? contemplating the pretty blue eggs are American Robins are soon to lay is a good coping strategy.). (To see some in action, check out Bella Hummingbird’s site on Explore.org !).
Environmental Protection Agency is reducing its reliance on animal testing to assess human risk of chemical toxicity and will instead focus more heavily on the tools made possible by advances in molecular biology, genomics and computational modeling.

The benefit for the wasps is that they get to keep a beautiful pet.
Each pair has a strategy and sometimes it is successful and sometimes it is not. Over the years some pairs of Pied Oystercatchers appear to learn how to protect the eggs and their young much more effectively and are therefore successful where other pairs may fail.
One of the purposes of this book is to celebrate shorebirds, and the first chapter of Section 1 does just that, describing “the appeal of shorebirds” and how they might just be “the perfect bird.”
“Gamebirds” to some, cool, cryptic understory birds to the birding people, grouse crouch protected as unfettered winds sway the top of the tall prairie grass. These “grouse” could be too sneaky for such heavy-handed, accidental strategies. Grouse are the chickens we would love to lay eyes on.
Gooddie describes his quest in terms of a contest of wills and strategy. There is little factual material here about global conservation and protection, but that is not the book’s purpose. They can travel through space-time without leaving a ripple in the continuum in a way that even Stephen Hawking could not begin to explain.”
Because many NWRs were established to protect migratory birds, many CCPs include extensive discussions about bird populations, habitat, and conservation measures. The Executive Summary sets forth a concise overview of the CCP, including goals (enhance aquatic health and habitat, protect and rehabilitate riparian habitats, etc.)
Nice. ((** all names have been changed to protect identities and have been substituted with (almost) randomly chosen substitutes suitable for a family of Alpine Accentors.))
