Can dogs eat chocolate?

4 The Love Of Animals

'Oh how humans love chocolate! While it may be a wonderful treat for us, you should never share it with your dog. While there are many “human foods” that are fine to share with our furry friends, chocolate is on … Continue reading → The post Can dogs eat chocolate? appeared first on 4 The Love of Animals.

Birding Honduras–The Cryptic Birds

10,000 Birds

'There was no snow. That was the first thing we–our New Jersey Audubon group of 11 birders, led by Scott Barnes–noted as we exited the airport. And lots of greenery. And, no snow. And Great-tailed Grackles. And, No Snow. I don’t think there were more heartfelt exclamations of delight and relief. It’s been a tough winter. Honduras was finally a reality.

Are Redpolls Just One Species?

10,000 Birds

'It sure looks like it! Gustave Axelson has a nice breakdown of a recent genetic analysis of redpolls on Cornell’s All About Birds Blog : Mason and Taylor looked beyond the plumage into strands of the birds’ DNA in the most extensive look ever at the redpoll genome. Whereas previous genetic analyses of redpolls looked at just 11 regions of the genome (at most), Mason and Taylor examined 235,000 regions.

Best Bird of the Weekend (Last of March 2015)

10,000 Birds

'Nearly everywhere in the world, birds are on the wing, not just traveling to and from their daily haunts but returning to their ancestral circuit. Based on the the time of year, many people I know are also on the wing. So best of luck to any and all creatures striving towards a distant horizon right now. Old Man Winter still has my part of the world firmly under his hoary thumb.

Kamikaze Pigeons and a War to Extinction

10,000 Birds

'A Hooded Crow. Two Feral Pigeons. Three Feral Pigeons. One more Hooded Crow. And so on… not much of a birding day, heh? One more Feral Pigeon. I am inside the city of Belgrade, checking the theoretically possible Peregrine Falcon site. Not that anyone has seen it there, but if I were a Peregrine, that would be one of the properties I would seriously consider.

Travel Adventures!

10,000 Birds

'Here at 10,000 Birds we take great pride in bringing you the most exotic and challenging stories of birding around the world. At my other blog, I explain how hard it is to see Great Horned Owls by city bus. I can’t claim that I haven’t gotten a bit of cabin fever here in New York as winter drags on, but with spring finally arriving in earnest, I am filled with high hopes.

First Phoebe of 2015

10,000 Birds

'I saw my first migratory Eastern Phoebe of the year today in the same place as last year – Rockaway Community Park in southern Queens – and a day earlier than last year, but still later than usual for me. For me, this means that spring has arrived! (The actual bird is the one in all three images.). As I have for the last several years, I will now ask the same question of midwesterners and northeasterners that I ask every year: When did you see your first Eastern Phoebe of 2014?

Laughing Kookaburra in attack mode!

10,000 Birds

'At home in Broome we are often awoken by Blue-winged Kookaburras and their insane chattering, but here in Melbourne the Kookaburra family is represented by the Laughing Kookaburra. The Laughing Kookaburra is a slightly larger bird than the Blue-winged Kookaburra and its “laugh” sounds more like an actual laugh or chuckle rather than the manic raucous noise that we hear in Broome.

Where Are You Birding This First Weekend of April 2015?

10,000 Birds

'No matter how nice this weekend gets, I’d still rather be in a dry forest in Honduras ! Well, April fools, early indications suggest that the long, lingering winter plague that has infected many northern territories won’t be enough to keep birds away. As they’ve done for generations upon countless generations, migrants are trickling in from the south.

Recipes needed

10,000 Birds

'This week I am appealing for bird feeding recipes that include peanut butter. As part of an art installation, I needed a couple of dozen glass jars. Now get this; jars are more expensive when they are empty than when they are full of peanut butter! Ever frugal, I bought lots of peanut butter, confident that it would not go to waste. The birds will love it, I thought to myself, but I was wrong!

Late March Birding in Queens

10,000 Birds

'Late March in my home borough of New York City is typically when Eastern Phoebe , Pine Warbler , American Woodcock , Osprey , and other early migrants are back but many of our wintering birds, like Snow Goose and American Tree Sparrow , are still sticking around. It is a transitional time and the weather shows it, with warmer days and the sun higher in the sky but the possibility of below-freezing nights and snow still present.
