Birding in a Refinery

10,000 Birds

Perhaps a little more shock-inducing and paradoxical than concepts of birding at sewage ponds or graveyards, an oil refinery seems to be the antithesis of a desirable place for a birder. In southern Trinidad, however, there is much more at play than what is immediately discernible. A now mostly defunct oil refinery encircles a verdant haven for waterfowl and many other wetland-dependent birds – the Pointe-a-Pierre Wildfowl Trust.

Birding Shanghai in March 2023

10,000 Birds

Shanghai in March is still a good time to see a variety of buntings before they migrate North. Most of them are easy to see – the Japanese Reed Bunting is not. Indeed it is listed as Near Threatened, which is a pity as it is kind of a soulmate of mine (eBird: “Not as social as Reed and Pallas’s Buntings and doesn’t expose itself as often; usually solitary”).

My dog got pregnant outside of heat?!

Reddit Animals

My dog's heat cycle started on 3rd January. Today, 6th April, she got spayed. The vet is telling me he had to perform an abortion because she was around 2 weeks pregnant?! I am so confused. Am also confused about how this could have happened. She did meet a male dog on 17th March and while he did try to hump her from time to time, mating did not take place.

Worried about my roommates pets

Reddit Animals

Hi! I live with 3 other ppl. We have a few pets living with us but I'm concerned about my roommates pets and I'm worried if they're being neglected and mistreated. So one of the roommates cleans the shared cat litter box about once every week or whenever he decides to. Often times he just turns on the fan 24/7 to ignore the smell. His cat has been having accidents all over the house since she refuses to pee in the very dirty litter box rightfully so.

I Injured a goose today

I was golfing today and I am fairly new to it, I have probably golfed 10-15 times. So for those who do not golf, it’s hard and at my stage golf balls go near where you want it to about 60% of the time. Other times it could go anywhere. So today I was golfing and there was geese about 80 yards ahead about 10ft lower in elevation as there was a pond nearby.

Shower thought: Is a black panther more likely to die of starvation compared to a normal panther?

Reddit Animals

If cats' furs are evolved to be adapted to their environment, is a black panther a worse hunter, due to not having the natural camouflage that a regular jaguar/leopard would have? Or would a black panther be a more effective hunter, because prey animals wouldn't be used to looking out for black coloured predators?
