I’m extremely grateful to Paul for taking the initiative in raising awareness of this NWR campaign. To that end, the principals have created a terrific site called Conserving the Future: Refuges and the Next Generation to elicit votes and comments. You may even have some profound insights that need to be shared in this public forum.

Understanding a pointed finger may seem easy, but consider this: while humans and canines can do it naturally, no other known species in the animal kingdom can. It’s no coincidence that the two species that pass Hare’s pointing test also share a profound cross-species bond.

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!)

Even if you don’t live in the summer range of a particular species, you may have opportunities to observe it while it passes through, especailly if you live in an active flyway, like I happen to. Another question this raises has to do with migration itself. The birds do the flying for you. Why migrate? Well, not really.

This non-technical book is a development from a series of lectures, tried and tested in numerous adult education courses given to non-specialists. Attempting to bluff the bear in believing that they were even bigger bears, Hoshino suggested raising their hands, to appear taller. Cactus finch, Geospiza species.

Animal Ethics

NOVEMBER 24, 2009

Cows, domestic sheep, chickens and many others would not survive if they were not raised for human consumption, protected from malnutrition, disease and predators. Such an obligation would make us the protectors of all species, and the destroyers of every ecosystem on earth. Second, our food animals have co-evolved with us.

Those who only raise binoculars within their own backyards might also decide one day to venture further afield to look for the ones in the field guides that aren’t making it into their limited sphere of birding. Most of all, I love showing people birds, species both common and mysteriously evasive.

Hunting sandhill cranes in Kentucky is a bad idea from a public relations standpoint, considering the growing cadre of birders and nature enthusiasts for whom cranes are a touchstone species. Initiating a hunting season on a large, charismatic species like a crane is no way to resuscitate hunting.

The vast majority of the 10,000+ living species of birds are passerines, and the vast majority of those have a similar system of breeding: Mom and dad bird make a nest and share parental responsibilities roughly equally, if not identically. In the latter, three or more adult individuals contribute to the raising of offspring.

So defined, bird songs are the sounds, often but not always loud and musical, that (mostly) male birds make as part of that species’ mating system. The templates can be discovered by raising birds in the absence of adult song, and they often sound very little like the normal final product. London: John Murray. 1st edition.

This week at 10,000 Birds, it’s all about how birds get around to bumping uglies (I’m talking about cloacas here), who they do it with, and how this actually leads to raising chicks…the birds and the bees of birds, you might say. Greater White-fronted Geese are one of many species that mate for life.

Elk and bird females both have more to lose than their respective species’ male by making bad mating decisions, so both are likely to be a bit choosy in their mates if possible (not to say that the males won’t be a little choosy as well). Prior to insemination, things are different as well.

Her narrator is Gabriel, 23, raised in Northern California by an American father and a Uruguayan mother. In the marshes of the estancia , he discovers what he comes to believe is a new species of rail – one of the “accidentals” of the title. With no great fondness for his tech job in the U.S., Gabe agrees to come along.

As with Chinese male humans, having your own building is still vital to raising young. While the species favors forested hills at moderate elevations ( source ), there are no hills at all here at Nanhui, so maybe these individuals are outcasts or just eccentrics.
