Here are three excellent but very different children’s books I enjoyed this year (two were published in 2013, one in 2011). A hawk-avoidance training program is created. Dawn Publications, March 2011. Let me know your recommendations for books kids would enjoy reading, or having read to them, this summer. The birds thrive.

I like field guides based on taxonomic systems, probably because I’ve been trained to work with obscure classificatory systems. When you review the system, it makes perfect sense: falcons are placed with hawks, nightjars are next to owls, and grebes are close to ducks, rather than separated from them by quail and grouse.

The good news is that Kirtland’s Warbler numbers are up, 1,828 singing males counted in the 2011 census. I imagine that Rapai’s reportorial training dictated that he stay in the background. Less than 200 singing males were found in the 1987 census, and this was 20 years after it had been placed on the U.S.

The initial implementation of Henry’s program has had such a substantial impact that it has been named the subject of the first in-service training of 2011. Even attendance has increased. Almost 50,000 copies of “What’s the Matter with Henry?”, “Henry’s World”, and “What About Me, I’m Here Too!” are in circulation.

Corey did just this in this 2011 posting about Vesper Sparrow Pooecetes gramineus in New York State. For birders, it’s the extremely large book, shelved in a place where it can’t crush the field guides, used to research the history of a bird in their area.

With no prior training they can make hooks from straight pieces of wire to obtain out-of-reach food. the Spring 2011 issue of YES! Crows from the remote Pacific island of New Caledonia show incredibly high-level skills when they make and use tools. They get much of their food using tools, and they do this better than chimpanzees.

It is easy to get to the city on a public bus and then get onto a train on the Joondalup line going north to go the few kilometres to Herdsman Lake. This would be our only opportunity to go birding together in Perth and whilst many people from the country head to the city to go shopping that was the last thing on our mind!
