Football Foods Pets Should Stay Away From

4 The Love Of Animals

Football fare is nearly irresistible for dogs — especially when sitting at eye-level on the coffee table— but even cats can grab a piece of the action. Unfortunately, furry fans who intercept game day grub are likely to catch more … Continue reading → The post Football Foods Pets Should Stay Away From appeared first on 4 The Love of Animals.

Why Hawkwatching is So Awesome

10,000 Birds

Originally from London, England, Luke Tiller transplanted to Connecticut in 2003. Newly surrounded by wildlife, he found his love of birds reignited. A professional hawkwatcher for many seasons, his passion and knowledge saw him invited to join the board of the Hawk Migration Association of North America in 2013. He now lives in Los Angeles, California where he is employed as a natural history tour guide and as a member of the Leica Birding Team.

The Cutest Birds in Costa Rica

10,000 Birds

Are all birds created equal? I bet a Common Raven would tell you otherwise, and so would a lot of birders. Blasphemy say ye? Just ask yourself if you feel like giving the same value to a ratty looking Rock Pigeon as a candy-colored Jambu Fruit-Dove. Nothing against the Rocky Pigeon but let’s be honest, if a breeding plumaged Blackburnian Warbler hops into view, It’s pretty easy to forget about that pigeon, Warbling Vireo , or even a Pine Warbler when you can treat the good old retina

September 19th is Puppy Mill Awareness Day. We think this is an important cause, and one that is dear to our hearts as we watched our Maltese, Baby, suffer from issues her entire life due to being a puppy mill … Continue reading → The post Today is Puppy Mill Awareness Day appeared first on 4 The Love of Animals.

The ‘Alal uses tools, Climate Change Hammers Hawaii

10,000 Birds

Hawaiian Crows Use Tools. From Nature, “ Discovery of species-wide tool use in the Hawaiian crow “: Only a handful of bird species are known to use foraging tools in the wild. Amongst them, the New Caledonian crow ( Corvus moneduloides ) stands out with its sophisticated tool-making skills. Despite considerable speculation, the evolutionary origins of this species’ remarkable tool behaviour remain largely unknown, not least because no naturally tool-using congeners have yet been iden

It’s a warbler kind of day.

10,000 Birds

That’s how I will have to describe last Saturday. I took a tour out to Presa Buena Mujer with the idea that I would find a certain group of birds, ones that had frequented that area just 24 hours before. I am pretty sure the birds didn’t get the memo! Friday morning I found Gray Flycatchers, Pyrrhuloxia, Varied and Lazuli Buntings, Phainopepla , along with two of our endemics, the Gray Thrasher , and Xanthus’s Hummingbirds.

Nature is Tough

10,000 Birds

On Saturday morning I was out on the East Pond of Jamaica Bay with Carlos and Anthony enjoying a mid-September search for shorebirds. We had walked up the east side of the pond almost to the north end and then back almost to the south end when we ran into Steve , who pointed out a one-eyed Baird’s Sandpiper to us. We watched the bird for awhile as it foraged and though the injury was painful to contemplate for we humans the bird seemed to be getting by alright.

Oh Sweet Canada! Canucks Vote on Best Bird

10,000 Birds

While those of us in the United States are coping with a long, painful, crazy Presidential election process, our genial, civilized, and thoughtful neighbors to the North are doing some voting of their own. The contest: Canada’s national bird. Five candidates made the final cut: Common Loon , Snowy Owl , Gray Jay , Black-capped Chickadee , and of course, Canada Goose , like the specimen above photographed by Daniel D’Auria and posted on Wikimedia Commons.

Where Are You Birding This Final Weekend of September 2016?

10,000 Birds

Keep your eyes to the skies for raptors in migration. Fall has, at last, fallen, pretty hard in my part of the world. Fortunately, this season brings more than just pumpkin spice atrocities. Birds have been filtering through even while temperatures were high. As the leaves around here turn, they’ll still be coming. Enjoy! I’ll be trying to adjust to long pants this weekend while kicking around Rochester.

Endless Birds at Rodman Reservoir

10,000 Birds

My NRLI fellowship class zipped across the Rodman Reservoir in two air boats, avoiding the submerged tree trunks leftover from the bottomland forest that once grew here. I visited the reservoir to learn about the environmental controversy surrounding the Rodman Dam (to remove, or not to remove), but the birds completely distracted me. Egrets in the distance.

Best Bird of the Weekend (Third of September 2016)

10,000 Birds

Another gorgeous weekend is, as they say, in the books. Start your week on the right foot by sharing what made the last two days special for you, at least from a nature-loving perspective. I scoured certain areas of the Lake Ontario shoreline for the places migrants are being seen. No luck there, but I did get into a bunch of nice birds, including what I mistakenly thought was my first Brown Thrasher of the year.

Displaying Great Bustard

10,000 Birds

Birds wanting to make more birds often do crazy stuff, and birders are well accustomed to encountering splendid plumage features, impossible feather structures, crazy dances, mad calls and complex songs on the birds they watch. I will therefore refrain from using superlatives to describe the courtship ritual of the male Great Bustard since the evaluation of what is better than the rest is such a subjective matter.

Magpie Goose eaten by a crocodile!

10,000 Birds

WARNING:- This post shows animal predation… Whenever we go north from Broome we stop in at Parry’s Nature Reserve and visit Marlgu Billabong. The water level varies greatly on each visit and the birdlife varies accordingly. In fact on our most recent visit the water level was much lower than on any other previous visit, but there was not as much rainfall during our last Wet Season and so this was not surprising.

Feather Brained: My Bumbling Quest to Become a Birder & Find a Rare Bird on My Own

10,000 Birds

In writing, humor is perhaps the area where it’s hardest to disputandum the gustibus. One person’s cheeky irreverence is another person’s grating adolescent attitude; one person’s cunning wordplay is another person’s dead-obvious groaner. In the case of Bob Tarte’s Feather Brained , you may as well give up now if you don’t enjoy a level of self-deprecation somewhere between Dave Barry and Don Knotts.
