Other topics in other chapters include bird-banding (called “ringing” in Britain); the differences between binocular vision (humans and owls) and monocular vision (most other birds); and the talents of outstanding bird illustrators such as Louis Agassiz Fuertes (1874-1927). and the Buffalo native Fred Szatkowki.

How much do you know about owls? I’ve been fortunate to encounter many owls in my birding life, sometimes because I’m looking for them, sometimes happily by happenstance. What the Owl Knows: The New Science of the World’s Most Enigmatic Birds is a joyous, fascinating read. I don’t think so.

Nitin hopes to enlarge his collection of photos of Tigers. Further down the road, we reach a derelict building with a large veranda hidden among the trees – an abandoned hunting lodge (if I were in a situation to invest, I would choose to upgrade this into a luxury wildlife lodge). If interested, there are a few more places left.

One of the highlights of the trip for me, and for some of the other media folks being hosted by the Fallon Convention and Tourism Authority, was a kayak tour of Tule Lake in the Stillwater National Wildlife Refuge.

I’ll admit to being momentarily faked out by the plastic owls that people put out in a futile attempt to ward off crows, which demonstrates that decoys work on birders, if not on birds themselves. I suspect it’s quite possible. But there’s more historical cachet to this story than an artfully carved model duck.

You may have birding from the window of your home, you may have been counting birds at a local wildlife refuge, you may have been counting birds on a feverish run from one end of a state to the next. Could we still see an owl in the rain? If it kept raining, that would probably knock out our chances at night birds.
