4 The Love Of Animals

MARCH 17, 2011

Dogs are able to detect diseases such as cancer and diabetes and warn humans of impending heart attacks and strokes. In many ways, human emotions are the gifts of our animal ancestors. Chimpanzees and elephants grieve the loss of family and friends, and gorillas hold wakes for the dead. A Grateful Whale.

I should add that the Big Owls taking over NYC social and even hard print media, dominating conversations with my nonbirder friends and family, are not the only owls in the five boroughs, but like a musical, the closer you are to Broadway, the closer you are to fame and fortune (and maybe even a higher quality rodent for dinner, who knows?).

Is it possible to observe some features of humans in their behavior? Yes, responsible and caring individuals often treat them as family members, which seems essential and adorable. Moreover, heroic deeds might be of dogs’ prerogative as well, contributing to their kind-hearted and humane nature.

However, the Stresemann’s Bristlefront is one of those birds that is simply enigmatic and rare and recently discovered, with many aspects of its life history unknown to humanity.

Way back when I started what turned out to be my thesis research (on humans), it became important for me to learn about bird migration.

I haven’t done any surveys, but I would bet my binoculars that images and stories of hawks attract more attention and adoration from birders and the average person on the street than any other bird family.

This is how, I think, the “Crossley technique” works best—coverage of specific bird families that pose identification challenges to birders at all levels of skill.
