It’s a slim volume, a republication, mostly, of a chapter from her fine 2010 book Birdology , with some added material including an introduction, in which she describes how she has, a decade after her first experience with falconry (as described in the main part of the book), “come back for more.” We serve them.”. Could I do this?”

Today, Barn Owls can be found across both islands, hunting open fields at twilight or comfortably resting in abandoned relics of the sugar cane industry. Years later, a small group of us ventured into some forest adjoining abandoned cocoa estates in central Trinidad searching for a view of this bird. Perhaps heard?

We pour over photographs, read with envy the eye-witness accounts of the “lucky ones” and fabricate secret plans to abandon our loved ones and embark on expensive trips to track them down. Typically these birds hunt at night and are very shy. We crossed a small bridge in the landrover and that’s when I saw it.

The first was Lewis Binford, who noted, correctly, that if you look at actual animal bones from actual archaeological sites, you could not objectively see clear evidence that would distinguish hunting from scavenging, and if you compared these “food remains” to hyena food remains, they looked roughly the same.

The next day we tried mist netting the cave entrance, and the day after I abandoned the project entirely. I have, for the most part, been able to avoid caves since that experience. It matters not a jot that I couldn’t say which was which or that fear is petty much my only real memory of the experience.

As a youngster of 10-weeks old, it is abandoned by its parents and left to fend for itself. A big moon gives enough light for the gulls to hunt by, so the shearwaters seldom come onto land while the full moon is up. The shearwaters make good subjects for homing experiments. You have got to admire the Manx Shearwater.

They are the Desert Wheatears and Siberian Thrushes that abandon all reason and fly to Britain (maybe they heard about the UK Birdfair ?). In fact, right now, in all likelihood, there probably are a few Aplomados up that way hunting in some far off fields never visited by birders.
