In 2007 I was working in a university building that was just begging for bird feeders. I put it in a small box for several hours, where it appeared to recover, but studies have shown that internal injuries from a strike usually kill the bird. The more glass, the more bird kills. ©2012 Donna L.

March 2007. The grass is swaying under a passing vehicle, spreading pollen and killing me with allergy. Raising the binoculars to teary eyes, I am trying to see the bird in the nest on a nearby pylon. An adult to raise its head. Sitting in a car parked by the roadside, I am observing a distant electricity pylon.

The closer one raises her head, than lies back. Telia watches him in half-amusement, then raises and gives a low, bull-like roar, provoking the lapwings to an excited screech, makes a few steps and lies down. Telia yawns, raises and sprays her urine on a dead tree stump, marking her territory. The other two are motionless.

A poisoned rodent can kill whatever eats it, and death by poison is a very bad way to go. Kudos to this awesome group, which has changed minds, laws, and continues to raise awareness of an environmental disaster which too many people don’t even realize has been taking place. What to do? as well as a rare mammal, the California fisher.

There had a been a Fairy Pitta in Derby in 2007 , but we were unable to get away from work to see it, so this would be a first for us. Sadly it had recently been killed and was lying in the garden bed beside the path. It also raises the question on how many other rare vagrants make it to Australia and don’t even get noticed.

They raise their trunks, sniffing the air. This time they appear more relaxed, but nervousness might be a better politics: in 2007, poachers killed only 13 rhinos in South Africa, but in 2008 already 83, in 2009 – 122, in 2010 – 333, in 2011 – 448 and in 2012 a staggering 668! Sniffing us.

Raised in the Galapagos, she’s been exposed to penguins her whole life. These were not easy journeys, and we can only guess how much time was spent making contacts and raising funds to go to the ends of the earth or the middle of nowhere, where the penguins live. That’s a lot of books about a bird family that cannot fly.
