Because NAOC is so large, it is more accurate to say I sampled small parts of the enormous event. He modeled likely future suitable habitats in a climate change scenario for a number of bird species of conservation concern. Last week, I “attended” the virtual North American Ornithological Conference (NAOC). Dr. Tom White of the U.S.

The guide presents 69 species and 1 subspecies, from “NEW WORLD VULTURES: Cathartiformes” to “OSPREY: Pandioninae” to “FAMILY: Accipitridae” (Kites, Hawks, Eagles, Hawk-Eagles), to “FALONIDS: Falconidae” (Falcons, Forest-Falcons, Caracaras, Kestrels, Merlin).
