I am puzzled as to why Gulls and Terns are almost passed over, with less than two pages of text devoted to a family description and only six species accounts (four gulls, two terns). Family follows family with no page break, making this section a little dense. Woodpeckers are a family of focus for Tuttle-Adams.

I’m happy to say that Laura Erickson and Marie Read have written a book, Into the Nest: Intimate Views of the Courting, Parenting, and Family Lives of Familiar Birds , that is not too cute and that does not anthropomorphize. And of eggs and nests and birds on nests. Cedar Waxwings exchange berries, carry nesting material, eggs.

27, 2015 Christian Gutierrez, Raymond Justice, and Carter Mesker went on a camping trip to Ka’ena Point Natural Area Reserve on Oahu, Hawaii. They emerged from their bloody rampage leaving fifteen adults dead, and fifteen destroyed nests with either smashed or missing eggs. They were simply sent to Family Court.

The last ten birds have taken a very long time: when I last asked what I would add to my Queens list it was September 21, 2015 ! Great Shearwater – At this point, seabirds are my weakest family in Queens with the most species having reported in the borough that I have not seen. That’s long time! I must stare at the ocean a lot.

I also enjoyed reading the company histories of familiar brands like Duncraft, Kaytee, Droll Yankee, and Wagner all of which started as family companies, some as offshoots of other businesses, some as the result of clever inventions. Texas A&M University Press, 2015. The story of Duncraft is a good example. Margaret A.

Where does the female Emperor Penguin go after she has produced that one egg and handed it over to the male for incubation? And, what about that female Emperor Penguin, who disappears for two months after handing her one egg over to her mate? Technology to the rescue! And you might think you know them but you might be mistaken.
