A Healthy Dose of Heath

10,000 Birds

I finally managed to explore a new area near Bonn, namely the Wahner Heide (heath) bordering the Cologne-Bonn airport. It’s a quite unique spot in the area due to its sandy soils and typical heathland vegetation (I hear you say “duh, it’s heath…”). I use the phrase “quite unique” just because I’m not sure whether there’s any other heathland in the area, maybe it does not warrant the relativizing “quite” – in which case I apo

Jack’s World of Wildlife

Reddit Animals

Y’all should really check this guy out. He makes content on YouTube and works with all kinds of animals most would consider “scary” or dangerous. He also does bite/sting videos like Coyote Peterson but without the fake overreactions plus more information. His vids actually helped me overcome my arachnophobia. Here’s a tag to one of his videos.

On Tuesday, my wife and I travelled 1750 miles (2,800 km) from our home of thirty years in Morelia, to the region in which I grew up, the San Mateo Peninsula of the San Francisco Bay Area in California. This is not a birding trip; we are trying to deal with many logistical life issues that have accumulated over the past several years. But will I bird?

Birding Southeastern Washington (McNary NWR)

10,000 Birds

Although many think of the Pacific Northwest as a rainy with lush green forests, the region east of the Cascade mountains is characterized by dry sagebrush rangelands ( shrub steppe ). Much of that original habitat has now been lost to agriculture. However, the region’s dominant river — the Columbia River — which serves as the border for much of Oregon and Washington, also flows through these rangelands.

Field Guide to North American Flycatchers: Kingbirds and Myiarchus: A Field Guide Review

10,000 Birds

Now that we’ve all mastered the art of identifying Empidonax flycatchers thanks to a certain field guide published a year ago, it’s time to start working on Kingbirds and Myiarchus flycatchers! I jest a bit, of course, birders will never stop puzzling over Empids. But Field Guide to North American Flycatchers: Empidonax and Pewees certainly gave us a framework for identification that upped our level of discourse and analysis.

Humane rat control?

Reddit Animals

Hello, We have some big fat rats in our backyard. They seem to know each other. They hang out in one of our trees. Ive seen 3. I think they might be taking shelter in an old decrepit shed. Should I be worried about this if they are in the back yard and not the house? At what point do I need to develop a pest control plan? There is no sign of them in the house.

Bunnies won’t go back into burrow

Reddit Animals

Hi y’all! A couple days ago we found a bunny nest in our yard. We fenced it off to keep our dog out but unfortunately our pup wormed his way in yesterday and killed one bunny and did a number on their burrow. I tried to put it back and place the bunny I found near it but it won’t stay there. It’s huddled up against our fence with his sibling. We’re keeping the dog out of the back for now to let them get big.

Can adult birds imprint on humans?

Reddit Animals

I just saw a youtube short of someone who took a wet crow into their home and dried it and fed it and the comments praising the person to the skies sort of rubbed me the wrong way, but I don't want to have any opinion based on lack of knowledge. I know baby birds can imprint easily, and that it is irreversible. But can adult birds also imprint? I tried googling this but I didn't find any adult-specific results.

Animal Idea for project

Hello everyone! I know this not usually what you see here but for ceramics I was assigned to make an animal. My friend is doing a cat as a chef “making biscuits” and I wanna do something similar to that, where I connect a habit of an animal to an occupation. My friends suggested a spider knitting, a bird as a singer, or a beaver as a construction worker, but I would like more ideas :)) thanks!

Why are most animals cool with other animals, but freak out with humans?

Reddit Animals

Was walking today and saw a turtle. I walked up to it but it of course, moved away from me. I stopped and watched it for a minute and saw a bird land by it, not trying to hurt it or something but just felt like landing in front of it I guess. The turtle didn't speed up or go the opposite direction, it just kept slowly crawling, getting right up close to the bird, who didn't even seem to pay it any mind as it passed.
