I couldn’t help thinking this–me, the anthropomorphism hater– as I watched a pair of Philippine Eagles tend their nest, raise a chick, and tear monkeys apart in Bird of Prey: The Story of the Rarest Eagle on Earth , a well-crafted, beautifully filmed documentary with a mission. The Philippine Eagle has a kind face. link] [[link].

The new regulations were open to comments until March 22, 2016 and received 572 comments. Modifying the art rules to include additional and appropriate bird species is an ideal way to raise that possibility. This is obviously where the FWS got the idea for their new proposed rule to alter the Duck Stamp Contest.

Sadly, this population too went into a steep decline until only 57 animals were left in Germany in 1997, raising fears about their imminent extinction in the country.

I discovered very much by accident that questions have been raised by British birders about the accuracy of some of the book’s photographs; this is the to-do at Birdfair I referred to in the beginning of the review.

A brief personal digression: I moved back into the house I grew up in back in 2014, my parents vacated at the end of 2016. Thankfully, they now have a home here where they can court, build their nest, and raise their young. One of my main projects has been our yard here at home. Since then, I began a wholesale rewilding of the yard.

He analogized the change to adding Hawaii to the ABA Area, which is puzzling since that modest change was preceded by years of debate, a membership referendum (in 2012), and a formal vote (in 2016).

One of the big changes in the UK birding scene is that in 1994 people would have driven across the UK to see a Little Egret and in 2016 they are abundant! Even a Great Egret hardly raises an eyebrow nowadays! One unusual aspect of birding in the UK in 2016 is that quite a few nature reserves allow dogs. Common Eider.

From Hiro, we learn how Northern Pygmy Owls are “rule breakers,” not incubating eggs till all are hatched and then raising owlets that mature at the same rate even though the eggs were laid asynchronously (as most owl eggs are). Jennifer Ackerman is one of my favorite bird authors.
