Given that the Black Kite is politely described as an “opportunistic hunter” – which includes the fact that they are more likely to scavenge than most other raptors – the name choice of the company protecting the world’s cyber ecosystem is a bit weird. A relative of this species is the Yellow-bellied Tit.

For example, years ago, Eiton Tchenrov postulated that the wild progenitor of the domestic dog, some subspecies or another of wolf, could benefit from overlapping its breeding territory with human hunters. The humans tended to keep away a range of predators that might take the pups as a form of interference competition.

One of the admirable things about Montana is how it contains prime examples of not one, but two iconic North American landscapes. The cottonwoods in the river bottoms echo the branching antlers of the elk that bugle among them each falls (abundant, but never enough so for Montana’s voracious hunters.)

It’s very hard to organize the many ways in which human beings relate to avian beings into comprehensible text. Jonathan Elphick and John Fanshawe provided “specialist research” and support.” Larks, for example. Perhaps it’s because the topic is so huge, it’s difficult to comprehend in a systematic way.

Their populations, plus those of other species that ‘wore’ the coveted long, colorful feathers used for women’s fashionable hats, were being dangerously depleted by hunters intent on feeding the millinery industry. As a librarian and women’s studies scholar, I greatly appreciate the research. This is where Boase excels.

Way back when I started what turned out to be my thesis research (on humans), it became important for me to learn about bird migration. I was involved in the study of human movement and navigation on land, and there was a lot of research coming out about bird navigation. Itcher birds, migratory members of the tern family.

This is the story of Fox’s experiences on board the Achiever, the research vessel of the Raincoast Conservation Foundation. It’s a small group of 10 to 12 researchers and crew members, and Fox is the sole person responsible for the bird surveys. Northern Fulmar, image courtesy of Peter Hodum.

And so, Fuller embarked on a new initiative—locating and researching photographs of lost birds and, expanding his scope, of mammals. The 6 th edition of the National Geographic Field Guide to the Birds of North America , for example, includes “extinct” and “probably extinct” species in a chapter, mixed in with accidentals.)

We immediately get a sense of the pigeons’ abundance, beauty, and danger to human activity. The chapter on Martha, for example, just shows a close-up of her stuff body–not the whole body, the torso and tail–against an almost-black background. This is not that kind of book, as Fuller makes clear from the beginning.

Over 3 million pairs of Antarctic Fur Seals breed on South Georgia, saved from near extinction by fur hunters. Human habitation and industry had an almost devastating effect on this area. Seals and Whales are also given a lot of attention, with entries organized similarly to the bird species accounts.

I love sexual behavior studies, and the motmot tail is an excellent and beautiful example of mother nature at her finest! However, the Stresemann’s Bristlefront is one of those birds that is simply enigmatic and rare and recently discovered, with many aspects of its life history unknown to humanity.

He clearly thinks that it is wrong to cause animals to suffer unnecessarily, but he appears to be somewhat ambivalent about killing animals (provided the killing is carried out humanely). The point is that even hunters seem to think that they need a reason to justify killing these animals. Running time: 12 Minutes.
