Hauber Hauber’s mini-essays focus on specific behaviors, enhanced by references to recent research yet written in a relaxed, personal way. Angell’s black-and-white methodology works well for crows, ravens and owls, his chosen subjects, and it also surprisingly well for more colorful birds, even Indian Peafowl.

UNLESS that is you get yourself down to the internationally-renowned Tambopata Research Centre in southern Peru where literally hundreds of macaws (and other parrots) congregate around a 50 meter high clay bank. The clay consumed at the colpa contains chemicals that bind with these ingested alkaloids thus neutralizing their toxicity.

I also missed easy birds like Snowy Owl and Swainson’s Warbler. Kudos to him for all the research he did to make people more aware of birding. When I upped my goal to some insane stratospheric level in June, going back to find things like Lesser Prairie-Chicken (which I missed) became more problematic.

Scouting can also turn up rare birds, fruiting and flowering trees, and maybe even an owl roost. For example, I recall some fine memorable mornings at the Tambopata Research Center where I walked into the forest, sat on a bench, and identified more than 120 species before breakfast, almost all of them by sound.
