The two dozen species are, nearly to an individual, long bodied and bicolored. Baltimore Orioles are surprisingly slight when you get a look at them, but troupials are about the size of a jay, and with the bearing to go with it. Icterus is a wide-ranging neotropical genus consisting of the technicolor blackbirds we call orioles.

And because of the resemblance they bear to their New World cousins in the family Phasianidae , they even look the part of an “authentic” wild bird in North America.

On the breeding grounds of the north, a small bird flies into the night, takes a bearing for the south, gains altitude and flies onward. Migrant birds make an incredibly perilous journey, twice per year. How’s that for an understatement of the obvious? The equation seems incredible. Flap, flap, glide.

Even if we couldn’t find time to raise the bins at a favorite patch, it only takes momentary glances into the sky and hearing chip notes from the trees to remind us that birds are on the move. Such is the case of a large coffee field near home where I had seen good numbers of warblers, other migrant species, and resident birds.

There’s a Sloth Bear in tall, dry grass, barely 50 metres from us, but all we can see is a dark, shape-shifting shadow that eventually becomes all but invisible. The closer one raises her head, than lies back. Telia yawns, raises and sprays her urine on a dead tree stump, marking her territory. The Telia Lake.

I once knew a guy who kept and raised cats. In North America, you’ve got Bears at the large end, Cats in the middle, and at the smaller end, the Mustilids. Also, feral Cats on islands seem to be a serious problem, causing the extirpation of some indigenous species. They are invasive species. Unless we put them there.

Originally, I was going to highlight one of the species endemic to the islands of the Lesser Antilles in the Caribbean; but once I typed in “Lesser Antillean”, six species popped up. Interestingly, this species has been split into two distinct subspecies, one for each of the islands on which it is found.

Their name is no accident – Piratic Flycatchers closely monitor the nesting activities of pendulous-nesting species like Crested Oropendolas and Yellow-rumped Caciques. Having successfully claimed ownership of the nest, the Piratic Flycatchers move in, lay and incubate their eggs, and ultimately raise their young in the pirated nest.

When not climbing, he collected species, and thus a number of birds are named after him. So, like a football stadium named after an insurance company, the broadbill ended up bearing a name celebrating a sponsor. Interestingly, the first description of a nest of Whitehead’s Spiderhunter was only published in 2015.

Following passage of the United States Endangered Species Preservation Act of 1966, the California Condor ( Gymnogyps californianus ) was among the first 75 species listed for protection, the so-called “Class of 1967”. So, after bearing with that admittedly lengthy lecture on Cologne and its beer, let’s return to the condor.

The question can be raised: Why should these organisms be killed and others not be killed? One might first ask, “Why does higher intelligence mean that one species is more valuable than other species?” Second, there are other species besides human beings that have high intelligence, e.g., chimpanzees and dolphins.

I sat for hours, dreamily watching those rocks raising to the sky, covered by the dense primary vegetation of this subtropical area. Birds of different species gather in bird waves to improve foraging efficiency (the insect escaping one bird will most likely be caught by another bird of the wave) and increase protection against predators.
