10,000 Birds

Actually, I visited the Two Towers twice, had about 50 bird species each time and about 60 in total, so this is sort of a composite tour description. However awkward this seems, I am using both British and (American) names – I wouldn’t be surprised if they do become different species in years to come.

As much fun as it was to add these birds to our Birds and Booze list, neither species is native to Canada, so it’s nice to see a cosmopolitan Barn Owl ( Tyto alba ) on this week’s featured beer by Collective Arts, a New England-style IPA called Life in the Clouds (even if Barn Owls are rather scarce around Hamilton and elsewhere in Ontario).

Penguins are cartoons, emoticons, animated films, children’s books (though owls really take first place here), sports teams, a book publisher, and a Batman villain (a rare example of penguin negativity, though Burgess Meredith did bring an endearing attitude to his 1960’s TV portrayal). © Otto Plantema, used with permission.

Despite depicting 540 species/56 families, it is a lightweight book of 173 pages, easy to pack and carry. Mammals of South Asia follows the latest taxonomy, describes all the species recorded within the region and provides a range map for each species. Larger species, that is, excluding dolphins and whales.

The species was named after John P. I suspect there is little opposition to changing the names of species with particularly sordid namesakes. That said, it seems obvious that the central purpose of a common name is to have a uniform and well-known identifier for a particular species. The Sibley app, however, is updated.)

Chicago is a good place for birds: on eBird, Cook County, Illinois has nearly 400 species and more than 275,000 checklists. Ideally, we would have data to look at all of these kinds of animals. There are many parks, including Millennium Park , which features the famous Bean sculpture. The photos are from Millennium Park.).

Interestingly enough, a similar situation with the same animal would unfold many years later – with a crushingly similar outcome for me. The sandy forest yielded half-decent looks at several uncommon forest species such as this White-shouldered Tanager. Little did I know that it was much closer than I had assumed! Never saw it.

Throughout the book there are extracts from `A Naturalist’s Journal’, which in the form of a first person commentary take readers to specific habitats in search of the animals to be found there. 465 species have been recorded and the list keeps growing.
