It also has one of the highest human population densities in the state. Not surprisingly, this brings Burrowing Owls into close contact with humans across the county.

I am very happy Osborn decided to tell her stories again; enlightening, amusing, and educational, they also give insight into what it’s like to work as part of the Condor Recovery Project–the extended hours, physical labor, stress, and fun. Osborn is a superlative natural history writer.

If you have always wondered what the minimum anesthetic concentration for isoflurane and sevoflurane for the Crested Serpent-eagle is, science has an answer. Apparently, some bird photographers think that any human artifacts shown on a bird photo immediately spoil the whole photo. Glad I did not have to watch these.

Says the prosecution to this: “Can a dead bird educate the researcher on its song? How it is being affected by human intrusions? Science doesn’t work that way! Describing the position that Linda took with regards to the validity of the science as dishonest may have been unfair. Science Schmience.

It is mostly a question of economics – raising just one is troublesome enough given the resources required to feed and educate the chick. Chongming Dongtan, where these photos were taken, is the wintering location of about 100 Hooded Cranes – about 1% of the global population. Fortunately, they are quite common in Shanghai.

This non-technical book is a development from a series of lectures, tried and tested in numerous adult education courses given to non-specialists. Those bears live in the wild and are not used to humans. Attempting to bluff the bear in believing that they were even bigger bears, Hoshino suggested raising their hands, to appear taller.

Written in a friendly, inclusive style quietly grounded in science, How to Know the Birds is an excellent addition to the growing list of birding essay books by talented birder/writers like Pete Dunne and Kenn Kaufman. Ted is also a birding friend of mine (it’s a small birding community), though we’ve never met face-to-face.

The citizen science aspect is a big hit with many users, and eBirding areas with little existing data can be fun as well. Whether one ranks as #2 or #20,000 in the Global Birder Ranking System, there is always room for education and improvement, so why not dive in? The answer is basic…do some reading and go look at some ibis.

Finding that decades of consumer education hasn’t slowed meat-industry growth or ecodestruction and that universities powerfully influence what people eat, RPA has been demanding that the colleges of agriculture at our LGUs stop forking over billions of dollars worth of training, research, and public relations to the meat industry.

We give them human names and provide them with the same amenities we enjoy as humans. Finally, Scott writes that "we have the responsibility to set aside emotion as much as possible and make rational, science-based decisions on policy in an effort to balance the concerns of all involved.". What's all this about emotion, anyway?

For those who didn't read the five-part Slate series " Pepper, the stolen dog who changed American science " by Daniel Engber , I recommend it for the history, but also for the misconceptions and assumptions that you might want to discuss on the Facebook discussion about the series. It "guarantees humane treatment?" Maybe on paper.

Farm animals also benefit from the humane farming movement, even if the animal welfare changes it effects are not all that we should hope and work for. Go vegan, go vegetarian, go humane or just eat less meat. If we all decide to consider animals as precious as humans, the only logical place for us is back in the jungle.

Hunting sandhill cranes in the Eastern flyway will put those 100 whooping cranes at even greater risk of being brought down by gunfire, hunter education courses and handy color brochures notwithstanding.
