The 1st edition from 1999 was a complete revolution in just about everything, but predominantly the quality and realism of illustrations, showing what a field guide could be and seriously raising the threshold for other publishers. Left – 2nd edition, right – 3rd edition So, not much has changed since the 2nd edition?

I am not sure, but I have raised many a passer-by’s eyebrow when they catch me in conversation with outdoor furniture. After all, I am about to sit on them, so it seems only right that I acknowledge them. So I raise my binoculars and cast a glance that way……. …. There is however one peculiarity that I will freely admit to.

They spice up their vole-based diet with the occasional Snow Bunting or Ptarmigan or even a young, confused Short-eared Owl. Let’s face it, they’d probably eat the nose right off Chuck Norris’s face. And yet they do not. Pray that they are always so tolerant. Image by David Menke, USFWS.

According to Wikipedia, “A l owl ife is a term for a person who is considered morally unacceptable by their community” The local Nanhui shrikes are well aware that the word “lowlife” has an owl hidden inside, and mark the appearance of owls in their territory with harsh protests. It just looks stupid.

The usual understanding of why irruptions of birds – from Red-breasted Nuthatches to Snowy Owls – occurs is that there is a shortage of food. Birders are delighted by Snowy Owls. Remember that friend of mine that saw 17 breeding pairs of Snowy Owls in a single valley? No lemmings left in the north? Or a larch cone.

As with Chinese male humans, having your own building is still vital to raising young. Interestingly, Black-winged Stilts display laterality – that is, they preferentially use one eye (the right one) to find prey. This one seems to wonder about whether eating flies is the right lifestyle choice though.

Over the last two weeks, we raised our faces and sniffed. I wondered, last August, how animals endure it — the tiny ever-pumping lungs of hummingbirds, the lungs of bighorn sheep shouldering their way up mountains, they must get filled with smoke too, right? For us here in the valley, though, at least it cleared the air.

Ribera Norte is to the north of the city and right on the shoreline. It is a fenced area of woodland surrounding a small lake similar to Ribera Norte, but is slightly raised and thus defended against the high tide. It is often inundated by high tides and has to restrict access to parts of the reserve or close altogether.

Situate across a small canyon carved by a steep stream it made for excellent viewing, at eye level right across the small chasm. It watched me, calmly, until I sat down about 7 feet away (almost at minimum focusing distance) and we both regarded each other, and I occasionally raised the camera and snapped off another frame.
