The breeding ecology of the Yellow-bellied Warbler was actually studied exactly here at Nonggang in 2019 by 3 Chinese researchers.

Second, reading about birds courting and parenting brings out the tendency to identify, which leads directly to anthropomorphism, the tendency to assign birds human emotions and thoughts.

Well-researched and footnoted, these sections never feel disconnected from the more personal sections. They weren’t hard to find, but I would have appreciated, if publishing them in the book is too costly, a small collection on the publisher’s web site. Endangered. Extinction. Conservation.

I guess most scientists would love to see their original research become the basis for a vast field of further studies. She also laid eggs in Melba Finch nests. On the other hand, compared to the Laughing Dove , human life is still pretty long. Please insert your own dirty joke relating to humans here.

As a Northeast birder I am familiar with the alarming decrease in the number of Red Knots along Atlantic shores and have signed petitions and written e-mails calling for legislation and rules that will limit the overharvesting of the horseshoe crab, whose eggs Red Knots depend on. million in the late 1990’s.

The third in the Nanhui collection of gloriously colored flycatchers is the Blue-and-white Flycatcher. The captor monkey killed the bird … by biting off its head” Eurasian Woodcocks are much more likely to be killed by humans than by snub-nosed monkeys.

A little bit of research when I got home unraveled the ways of publishers here and in Great Britain. Do not buy these books, unless you are collecting old bird books.

I enjoy collecting children’s books about birds and nature that I come across in the expected (book stores) and unexpected (academic library conference reports) places.
