In 2012 , the NFC revised some of its goals and set forth a new vision of waterfowl management that emphasized a core of hunter and conservationist supporters. In an effort to better understand the “human dimension” of its conservation efforts, several surveys were conducted, including the National Birdwatching Survey (NBS).

I was just getting back into birding, and had only gone to some urban sites, during 2012 and 2013. In the end, I would have to say that this trip gave me some added confidence in nature’s ability to fight back against the ravages of humanity. Among all the birding locations I have found, Pino Real was my first love.

But, in the next year, 2009, only one human was killed by a tiger, leading to a conclusion that all the tigers in the conflict area (practically, the wider reserve buffer zone) have been wiped out. In 2012, the Hindustani Times claimed that from January 2011 to June 2012, a further 9 tigers were killed in the Tadoba buffer zone.

There are many more factors than I imagined: compass errors, wind drift, overshooting, extreme weather and irruptions, natural dispersal, and human-driven vagrancy. Some birders may want to carefully read the chapter on human-driven vagrancy, which takes up the question of ship-assisted vagrancy. Next time, I’ll know why.

So, for example, humans are apes. Fortunately for we humans, placing primates properly phylogenetically in relation to the other mammals requires an act or two of faith at the deeper ends of the family tree, but it is probably true that primates and rodents share a common stock to the exclusion of others, so maybe we are all mice.

I remember taking an advanced seminar in plant-animal interaction, in preparation for my own study of human-plant interactions. Some of our greatest human pleasures come from those toxins, and I’m not just talking about various narcotics, though there is always that. Insects ruled. One way to do that is to be toxic.

We know that the human mind has capacities that are not common in other animals. For example, humans have “Theory of Mind” which is not a theory in the scientific sense, but rather, a capacity whereby we have an internal theory of what is going on in other people’s minds.

Early research suggested that “Fragmented distributions and population bottlenecks due to human activities appear to have increased genetic differentiation among populations” (Leberg 1991). I find that a little surprising since it is our national bird. Well, it isn’t really our national bird, but we all know that it should be. 78(1):61–78.

What bird will it be in 2012? We’re looking at ways to make the choice for 2012. Every human does. Birding ought to be a joy that is shared and passed on, not a private thing kept to oneself. Most of the time, anyhow. There’s certainly a place for solitude and quiet, too. Say Green Heron say Green Heron say Green Heron.)

What I didn’t know was how this relationship actually works: the mechanics of Red Knot migration, the reduced digestive systems necessary for their long flighta, the need to fatten up quickly so they can fly to the Arctic and breed, how they compete with other shorebirds and gulls and, it turns out, humans, for horseshoe crab eggs.

Not all habitat change is due to humans; there is Chestnut Blight destroying American Chestnuts in the early 1900s, and the more recent Dutch Elm disease. Still, the authors praise more than mourn, emphasizing that the most severe changes occurred before 1955, and that some NYC infrastructure changes have actually helped area bird life.
