Fortunately, there are some people working to protect the Scarlet Macaws of Honduras.

Read Tim’s account and enjoy his (and the Tambopata Macaw Project’s Alan Lee’s) photos judge for yourself… (NOTE: we first published this post in January 2009 but have to run it again because it is so good!) Each bird, regardless of species, seems perfectly content to wait for the other to make the first move toward the colpa.

Hunting sandhill cranes in Kentucky is a bad idea from a public relations standpoint, considering the growing cadre of birders and nature enthusiasts for whom cranes are a touchstone species. Initiating a hunting season on a large, charismatic species like a crane is no way to resuscitate hunting.

In southern Africa, there are two species. Redgannet (the blog) fledged in February 2009 and the 100th post was published as he was invited to become a beat writer for 10,000 Birds. I too am fascinated by the name of this species. Frank Mar 22nd, 2011 at 8:02 pm Awesome images of a species that looks somewhat prehistoric.

Orlando is so rich in roadside and overhead birds that I kept a list of species seen from the car which ran to 30+ on the first morning and included a Bald Eagle nonchalantly sitting on a street lamp by a Target store.
