10,000 Birds

MARCH 21, 2022

Still, it has quite a good habitat and birds – so good, in fact, that the frugal blog post writer (me) decided to write two separate posts about this park. This is part one, covering birds named from A to H. Given the exciting and exotic birds Hainan has to offer, starting the post with a Barn Swallow is a bit of a letdown.

Much has been made in these pages about the havoc that feral cats wreak on native birds. An abandoned kitten nicknamed Frankie had staked out a McDonald’s restaurant as its feeding grounds, and for more than a year, subsisted mainly on handouts from employees and customers. And the TNR/exterminate debate rages on.

Photographer Mark Ross has captured some truly beautiful, and touching, photos of animals abandoned at kill shelters. From dogs to cats, kittens, and even birds and rabbits, there are all kinds of animals to be found at shelters. The photos in the book made me want to reach out and save each one of them.
