My aunt Greet gave me a book in 1975 that featured the 60 most endangered birds in Europe. Amazingly and quite contrary to what you would believe from the gloomy news most of these birds have since recovered and are doing well. Europe lost the Buttonquail (but abundant in Africa) but the Griffon, Cinereous Vulture (José Leal’s picture below) and several eagles are making a spectacular comeback.

I’m not sure this will be allowed, but here goes. I live in the country, spend a lot of time outdoors. A few minutes ago, I heard an odd clicking noise, looked around, and a ROBIN was chasing a rabbit! The robin was clicking and jumping a few feet on the ground over the rabbit’s back, then it would fly to catch up to it. The rabbit hopped down the ravine to the woods, so I saw the event for only seconds.

Drs. Barbara Petersen and Drew Magstadt were part of a network of cattle and diagnostic veterinarians who made the connection between cat and bird deaths at Texas dairies and cows getting sick with what turned out to be highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI, more specifically avian influenza Type A H5N1).

The World Small Animal Veterinary Association has updated its Global Vaccination Guidelines, which became available online April 8. The updated guidelines for dogs and cats suggest the leptospirosis vaccine should be considered “core” for dogs in regions where the disease is endemic. Also, the feline leukemia virus (FeLV) vaccine is now recommended as “core” for young cats and adult cats that have outdoor access or live with other cats that have outdoor access, in places where FeLV is prevalent.

Although many think of the Pacific Northwest as a rainy with lush green forests, the region east of the Cascade mountains is characterized by dry sagebrush rangelands ( shrub steppe ). Much of that original habitat has now been lost to agriculture. However, the region’s dominant river — the Columbia River — which serves as the border for much of Oregon and Washington, also flows through these rangelands.

There are 154 species of cuckoos in the world, and they’re all a fascinating bunch. I reckon I’ve seen around 60 or them, which still leaves a lot to go. I’d really like to see a Coral-billed Ground Cuckoo (South-East Asia), while to see any of the Madagascan couas would be pretty cool (there’s 11 of them). I have encountered a few of the more quirky members of the family, including the brilliant and aptly-named African Emerald Cuckoo, India’s ultra-shy Sirkeer Malkoha, and the fascinating Lesse

I finally managed to explore a new area near Bonn, namely the Wahner Heide (heath) bordering the Cologne-Bonn airport. It’s a quite unique spot in the area due to its sandy soils and typical heathland vegetation (I hear you say “duh, it’s heath…”). I use the phrase “quite unique” just because I’m not sure whether there’s any other heathland in the area, maybe it does not warrant the relativizing “quite” – in which case I apo

Back when I was a kid growing up in California’s San Mateo County in the 60s and 70s, my family would occasionally drive 45 minutes west and south to Bean Hollow State Beach. Even now, I remember my mother commenting how that goofy English name sounded so much more romantic in its original language: Arroyo de los Frijoles. Little did I imagine that someday I would live much of my life in that same Spanish language.

One thing that I have learned from repeated spring visits to Cyprus is that no two years are ever the same. This April conditions were excellent for migrant waders, so there were plenty to see. The island’s largest salt lake, Akrotiri, is not a great draw for waders, but the range of large, shallow saline pools on its east side, along Lady’s Mile, were in perfect condition to attract a wide variety of species.

In an established tradition reaching as far back as 2023, I regard the first day I see a colorful male flycatcher in Shanghai as my personal start of the migration season. This year, the date was April 11, a few days earlier than last year (April 16). And the birds in question (yes, two of them on the same day) were Blue-and-white Flycatcher … … (eBird gushingly describes the adult male as “strikingly beautiful”, which is true) … … (while the eBird reviewer mu

Now that we’ve all mastered the art of identifying Empidonax flycatchers thanks to a certain field guide published a year ago, it’s time to start working on Kingbirds and Myiarchus flycatchers! I jest a bit, of course, birders will never stop puzzling over Empids. But Field Guide to North American Flycatchers: Empidonax and Pewees certainly gave us a framework for identification that upped our level of discourse and analysis.

On Tuesday, my wife and I travelled 1750 miles (2,800 km) from our home of thirty years in Morelia, to the region in which I grew up, the San Mateo Peninsula of the San Francisco Bay Area in California.

Frankly, Ho Chi Minh City is not a place you would go to specifically for birding. But if you are there anyway (at the start of a longer birding trip) and have an afternoon to spare, then why not? Specifically, a place named Sala Township looked interesting based on a few recent eBird lists. Sala Township is a slightly weird place in that it is very close to the city center (just on the other side of the river) and partly poshly built up, partly consisting of scrubland.

Hello ive had this 2 month old budgie for around 3 weeks and he got sick for an unknown reason. His nostrils were filled with dried mucus so i cleaned it for him. His poop gets stuck in his feathers and they build up. He hasn’t drunk or eaten properly for the past two days so I tried feeding him with a syringe but i dont know if he ingested the food.

As the title says. Going to attach a picture so you can see his stature/fur/snout etc. We went a 5k today (I’m not fit I do a 5k in like 33 minutes mixing between running and walking) and he was struggling a little. He’s usually bouncing off the walls full of energy after a 5k walk but around half way through started dragging behind. He preferred running on the grass beside the pavement which I of course let him but even that didn’t seem to make him want to run towards the end.

Hi, my pet cat has discovered that there are lizards in our garden. I live in rural Scotland. She injured a lizard quite badly, I don’t know the extent of the damage but its tail is badly hurt (part dropped off), and on leg can’t move much. It is about four inches long, I don’t Know the exact species, I’ll attach a picture. I have given it some water, meat, a fly and a bit of apple.
