Part Two: The Family Live of Selected Species” describes and illustrates the family lives of 49 species in 25 chapters.

The purple feather of the title is an ostrich plume (now housed in the Museum of London), a symbol of Emmeline’s crusade and personal style (if you saw the 2015 film Suffragette , Meryl Streep, playing Pankhurst, is wearing a hat full purple feathers). and the Importation of Plumage (Prohibition) Act of 1921 in Great Britain).

Britain’s Birds: An Identification Guide to the Birds of Britain and Ireland–A Book Review

My librarian self is partial to a more strict taxonomic organization, but with no hope that the constant shifting of families will end in the near future, this type of sequence is making more and more sense. The book’s organization reflects the authors’ goal of making this a guide accessible to birders of all levels and skill.

And unlike the protection of cormorants, which was perceived as a problem, protection of pelicans was welcomed by the local communities. Asian water buffaloes were brought to Greece by Ottoman Turks centuries ago and by now, they have developed into a separate race, the Greek buffalo, which is protected as an old domestic breed.

It is the English-language version of Canards, Cygnes et Oies d’Europe, d’Asie et d’Amérique du Nord , published in late 2015 by Delachaux and Niesté. So much simpler than pinning down those warblers! There are the females, so many so brown.

I strongly suspect that the rate of attrition on this Loon family is inversely proportionate to the abundance of ducklings in the bay. The adults move to flocks, there may be two or three of them, that hang out mostly far off shore in the larger part of the lake, abandoning their embayments or otherwise protected areas.
