The idea is to portray one bird for each hour of the day in words and art, presenting the diversity, beauty, and wonder of avian life. Hauber is really good at presenting scientific findings so they don’t seem scientific at all, simply reasonable answers to our questions. Bird Day is a lovely, little jewel of a book.

The obvious choice was the Mallard , that plucky familiar northern hemisphere species that is the father of the even more familiar domesticated duck. In fact, as the species was quickly identified as as creating hybrids with Grey Ducks, the opinion was by the 1920s that the species shouldn’t be released further.

So, the basic idea is to show 15 species of Australian birds in each post and give you the usual trivia about them. This species has also eliminated the need for childcare – the chicks emerge from this pile on their own and never even get to see their parents. Admittedly, it is mostly grey.

Every person has a responsibility to be part of the solution by doing something to protect and encourage the re-establishment of biodiversity. Insects and a host of other invertebrate life have evolved with these plant species, and thus depend on them. Locally native plants are the base part of the local ecology.

And, some time later, during the final stages of the bird-atlassing work, computer models of Serbian ranges for some 150 bird species were produced for the first time ever: Some bias was created because of the large data set from Belgrade and environs where the majority of active eBirders live. The consequences were amusing.

In birding circles, Costa Rica is better known for protected areas, quetzal tours, and glittering displays of hummingbirds than the things that fly in urban spots. During migration, the songs of occasional warblers and a Great-crested Flycatcher or two would suddenly be present. That makes sense. In remnant riparian zones?

Because many NWRs were established to protect migrating birds, they lie along one of the four primary flyways.

Twenty two species are distributed among six genera, depending on what happens to be extinct, and for the most part one grebe is like another. This makes Grebes vulnerable to climate change and the predation of invasive species. It is easy to see how Minks set lose in a welcoming habitat could eat an entire species.

One of their most unique qualities is their self-awareness, which is a sign of higher cognitive abilities that are usually reserved for humans and a few other species.
