27, 2015 Christian Gutierrez, Raymond Justice, and Carter Mesker went on a camping trip to Ka’ena Point Natural Area Reserve on Oahu, Hawaii. But no one who has ever cared for another creature – be it bird, animal, or human – can comprehend, much less cope with, this kind of brutal, pointless killing.

There is the flightless Atitlán Giant Grebe of Lake Atitlán, Guatemala, whose habitat was destroyed by a combination of human incursion and earthquake, but whose DNA lives on in hybrids that fly. And, then there are the extinct birds of Hawaii, four of which are represented here— Kaua‘i ‘O‘o, `O`u, Po?ouli,

When you think of invasives, you think of the birds that have been helped by human beings to get where they are, such as House Sparrow or European Starling. Cattle Egret has been introduced by humans to Hawaii and the Seychelles. Other species have certainly expanded their ranges, but never in such a rapid and global scale.

The Blue Whistling Thrush is presumably named for its loud human-like whistling, and possibly for being blue. The male Grey Peacock-Pheasant looks quite attractive, though most human males would rightfully shudder to wear a shirt covered in purplish dots. The White-cheeked Partridge is classified as Near Threatened.

I ended up looking for photographs of Peregrine hack sites, captive breeding aviaries, Hawaii tropical forest, and the California Condors of the Grand Canyon on the Internet. There is a beautiful photograph of a Peregrine Falcon on the cover and smaller photographs of Hawaiian Crow and California Condor on the back cover, but I want more.

Take Hawaii, for example. Thanks to a little human intervention, the future looks much brighter for Millerbirds. (Photo by David Guttenfelder, courtesy of National Geographic ). If it makes you feel better, though—and you probably need some cheering up after that—the situation for birds isn’t completely bleak everywhere.

By weird things I don’t mean human weird things, like for example wasting their time in wild places looking for unusual feathered animals and ticking them off a list, but things that fall outside of their usual repertoire of normal behaviour. It is easy to forget sometimes that birds can do weird things.

Stylistic variety abounds in the beer world, and it too is on the rise, though this is more an effect of human intervention. Birders are generally happy when this happens. More birds mean more potential lifers. Artificial selection, if you like. Rhinegeist Brewery and Green Cheek Beer Company: Ain’t No Tang.

In the majority of cases, it is humans who are to blame for the plunging numbers of animals, and Corwin is very clear about the extent to which we have destroyed the world around us. For only $450,000, we could buy almost all of the habitat neded to protect Ecuador's remaining frogs.

I’ve only been to Hawaii once and can’t really complain about not having seen Maui Parrotbill or Crested Honeycreeper , but both look really special. Every human does. But Black-crowned Antpitta and Rufous-vented Ground-Cuckoo are very high on the list, as is Magellanic Woodpecker. Nobody else will do it for us.
