They did however show an increased incidence of wounds which the birds were thought to maintain and re-open. A study showed that a herd of cattle from which ox-peckers were shooed away over a prolonged study period showed no significant reduction in ticks compared to a herd which were allowed to host the birds.

The first group to use him had great success, finding the bird in no time along with a Long-billed Curlew , another great bird for the southeast. Daylight broke around New Bern and the view turned to acres and acres of saltmarsh as I wound my way through this part of the state where I had spent far too little time.

The explosions have ranged in intensity, wounding some of the pigs and killing others. They stopped after protests from animal rights groups, such as People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. Roadside bombs are the top killer of U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. Did you know this?

Mai Mai rebels are described as community-based militia groups frequently involved in banditry. Another ranger was wounded in the attack and a rebel was captured. Protecting mountain gorillas in the Congo is dangerous work. Just last week, a 33-year-old ranger was killed by Mai Mai rebels.

Wounded birds were left to crawl away into the woods; sometimes, during breaks, children were encouraged to run across the field, scoop them up, and tear their heads off. Groups across the country, including Project Coyote in California, are fighting similar battles.

The Dry Tortugas National Park is located some 70 miles off of Key West in a small group of keys that makes up the farthest points included in the state of Florida, so it was no surprise that we had a four hour boat ride ahead of us before landing in the park. Banding is best done in teams split into three, potentially four groups.

He was bleeding from several bullet wounds, and visibly in excruciating pain. A group of law school students walked far out of their way to avoid the sight. I stared into his eyes while envisioning him breaking free from the prison the men made of the truck, and the prison the men made of his now mortally-wounded body.

From Purple Herons to Little Grebes to Red Kites , the spot also yielded a small group of Eurasian Spoonbills for the area highlight. After the castle we wound our way through the Black Forest where we were able to watch a pair of Eurasian Three-toed Woodpeckers foraged a few feet in front of us. I was not lead astray.

I didn’t get back to the hobby until about eight years ago, in the brave new world of digital cameras, field guide apps, digital listing, birders’ chat groups, and yes, blogging. In the best case, wonderful mixed-species forest would be reforested with a single species of pine.

As nutritionists have repeatedly pointed out, the government can no longer even produce a “food pyramid” that makes any sense for fear of irritating some agricultural special-interest group. If we cannot separate government from economic special-interest groups, then we will continue down the same path we are on.

A small group created a semicircle around a bare tree branch, brandishing some of the largest, longest camera lenses I’ve ever seen. While the group I stood with was calm and kept a safe distance, I heard other stories about idiots climbing the tree to try to take a picture with a cell phone, or chasing the bird when it alighted.
