With EU funds, the restoration started in 2009 when embankments were built to create one large and six more small reservoirs. There was a Short-toed Eagle ahead, taking flight to be replaced by another ST Eagle. Immediately north of it I found another Short-toed Eagle and a very cooperative close-range Long-legged Buzzard.

Last week the media was eating up a story about a poor, little 80 year old woman who violated a 2009 No Trespass Order that prohibited her from visiting local parks in Massachusetts. Another example would be the Eagle Lady in Alaska. The Eagle Lady has also died and now the town bans the feeding of eagles and other birds.

According to eBird , I have been an eBirder since December 23, 2009, so today is my 10th eBird anniversary. For example, I’ve seen Bald Eagles in 15 states. During the decade, I submitted 1,219 checklists and observed 555 bird species, all in the U.S. and Canada. Of course, you can use the data in many ways. GPS-tracked miles.

At the far end of the lake stands a tall, dry tree with an eagle that we are struggling to determine and it remains a dark silhouette far too far. Somewhere below that mysterious eagle, at the far shore of the lake, lies one Bengal Tiger … and further to the right – two more! He has earned his tip.

In fact, in 2009, Wink et al. This new analysis again suggested that Snowy Owls (and the fascinating fish-owls ) are embedded within the eagle-owl complex. Genetic studies, however, indicate that it is closely related to Bubo (Sibley and Ahlquist 1990) and in fact is nested within the genus (Wink and Heidrich 1999). Banks et al.

So you can see why I long for the reassuring black-and-white tyrant who cheerfully sallies out to take on crow, hawk, eagle, or birder, and sits in full sun. I saw the Queens Ash-throated Flycatcher in 2009, but someone else had identified that and I just went along for the ride.

One local guy who has lived there his entire life told me that there seemed to be fewer quetzals after a big earthquake that hit the area in 2009. The few missing birds on Poas would be the Three-wattled Bellbird, Bare-necked Umbrellabird, and Solitary Eagle. : I would love to assess the number of quetzals that live on Poas.

The Nisqually estuary was restored in 2009 by removing dikes and reconnecting 762 acres with the tides of Puget Sound. Northern Harriers, Peregrine Falcons, American Kestrels, and a fair number of Bald Eagles all can be found on the refuge year round. I got to see several Brown Creepers in the area.

I’d only ever seen Garganey once before, way back in 2009 in Kazakhstan. We saw Sandhill Cranes , Northern Shovelers , and Bald Eagles. After all, we now knew the bird was still present. What if we missed it? But before we get into the search I’d like to touch briefly on the bird itself. Time went past.

One of their more noticeable achievements is lowering accidental bear mortality several times, from 9 in 2009 when the new motorway was constructed – through changing 130 km of inadequate fences with higher bear-proof ones and erection of 6,000 wildlife reflectors, plus two dozen warning signs for drivers – to 2 in 2015 and zero in this year.

When I was asked if I wanted to read Jeff Corwin's 100 HEARTBEATS (Rodale 2009) I was ambivalent. I know he's a conservationist, therefore I know he will advocate for "managing" the "resources" that are sentient nonhumans. And managing means killing them, breeding them, and otherwise fiddling with their populations.

And, in a tree off to the right in that direction, I noticed a mass of stuff that resembled a Bald Eagle’s nest as much as any mass of stuff ever could, but of course, it was not a bald eagle nest. Eagles like their nests a bit farther from roads than that. Eagles don’t like being near developed landscapes.

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. This is not good habitat for a Redgannet ; I had to get out of line. What a show … er … show-off!
