Published in 1965, with the latest revised copy issued in 2001, the Golden Guide inspired many birders and is still cited in some circles for its pioneering sonograms and beautiful artwork. And reading the table of contents (trust me, most people do not read the table of contents). Geological Survey.

A New York Times story that ran in 2001 about a homeless dog wandering around a suburban part of New York City, struck a chord with me. I don’t need a leash, he stays right next to me,” Cody says. Today we have a lovely guest post from author Deborah Blumenthal. Blue likes it that way,” Cody says, “and so do I.”.

But let's stick to the animal rights issue. The bizarre incident in April 2001 began when the trio of apes broke out of Mike and Connie Casey's compound, the Missouri Primate Foundation. It's 1) a gory story with 2) the bizarre tie-in to the New York Post's inexplicable use of Travis' image in a cartoon about the stimulus package.

At that time it was not a nature reserve at all and the forty hectare piece of land was only acquired in 2001. Visitors to the reserve we met along the trail were excited to tell us about the arrival of a Whooper Swan and told us to check the northern field to our right as we circumnavigated the lakes anti-clockwise.

Like Peterson’s Hawks of North America, 2nd edition (Houghton Mifflin, 2001), which Clark co-authored with Brain K. Looking at the drawings on the right-hand page, then looking at the captions on the left-hand page, my head moved back and forth, back and forth. And vice versa. Again, this is a common practice.

Yellow Warblers are able to recognize Cowbird eggs, and if conditions are right will build a new nest floor on top of the egg and their own eggs, burying them. And another when that egg is removed. The female Cardinal sings while inspecting potential nest sites.

et al 2001. This is the time of year that we rightfully contemplate the noble Turkey. The very first thing we notice about this large member of the Galliformes is that there is a wild version and a domestic version, and although the two are rather different, they are both given the same species name, Meleagris gallopavo.

Often, as I have been investigating the contents of a nest by making a small hole in the side, the parent birds have come right to the nest, where they immediately begin to repair the damage even before my departure!”. Even during the breeding season the birds appear to be quite unwary of humans.

Only then will these companies “do the right thing,” if only to ensure their continued survival. In 2001, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated that irradiating half the meat and poultry consumed in the United States would mean 900,000 fewer cases of food-borne illness and 350 fewer deaths each year.

Nestled right in the middle of Europe, we have a little bit of everything, a nice cross section of Europe’s avifauna. On the contrary, the birds were quite satisfied with their new-found freedom and realms, and started breeding immediately after their escape in the spring of 2001, much to everyone’s surprise.

You may find it bulky or not, whatever the case, compared with its predecessor, a two-volume Birds of Ecuador by Ridgely (2001), it is as compact as can be. The objective answer to the weight question is 2.6 Yes, you can always opt for an eBook, but to me, the only book is the real book.).

Starting in the mid-1990s, there was a “where to watch birds in…” series of five site guides written by Nigel Wheatley and covering South America (1994), Africa (1995), Asia (1996), Europe & Russia (2000) and Central America & the Caribbean (2001). I was always curious, but never had a chance to study any of them.

In 2001, Trevor Worthy described a set of bones from Fiji as a new species of very large, flightless pigeon: the Viti Levu Giant Pigeon ( Natunaornis gigoura ).

All of this leads to a longer life list, which is, after all, the entire point of bridwatching, right? Perhaps that will be the subject of a future post in this space. __ 1 Fransson, et al, 2001. Well, you know I’m only joking about the life list. Birders are not, after all, stamp collectors. Well, not really.
