Of course, it is quite common for human parents to set fire to their family homes in order to keep the adult children from moving back home, but this is not an issue for drongos. If you are looking for a use of a cardboard box, one of the more interesting ideas is to use it to house an abandoned juvenile Striated Heron.

I’m not sure if I already was claustrophobic , or if the circumstances merely traumatized me to the point I became one, right there and then. The next day we tried mist netting the cave entrance, and the day after I abandoned the project entirely. I think we caught perhaps three bats. A Bat Hawk hunting bats.

He is happy the bluebird has returned and he hopes that it will nest by his house in “Downy’s cell,&# that is, the abandoned hole of a Downy Woodpecker. Hes only been birding since 2005 but has garnered a respectable life list by birding whenever he wasnt working as a union representative or spending time with his family.

The thought of an Oriole foraging in bare winter branches is as foreign as a Petrel on a pool and yet, there it was in my yard picking through an abandoned squirrel’s nest for what appeared to be spiders. Wicked, right? The truth is, wintering Baltimore Orioles are unusual, but not unheard of, in the southeast. Hat-tip to Stella.

Apparently, one of the threats to this species comes from the bioaccumulation of mercury in its feathers – though I balked at paying USD 40 for the scientific paper providing the details, from the abstract and the location of the authors, it seems they examined feathers of this bird living in an abandoned mining region in Guiyang, China.

If you had your choice of one bird family to pursue, to seek out and observe and photograph and kvell over, which one would you choose? A passion for one bird family is also very useful. He sat…his crown giving searing shafts of violet as the light caught the feathers at just the right angle.

Every spring they totally steal the show in the northeast and you really can’t blame birders for abandoning their jobs, their families, and their sanity as they rush to New York City’s abundant and amazing parks to see the show live and in technicolor. And, of course, the wood-warblers. Northern Parula. American Redstart.

Our first stop was the Lakeview Drive Ponds, Corey’s primary birding location when he and his family visited the island a few years ago. After that we visited a small remote site of an abandoned resort that is going back to the jungle quickly, and a water front location for shorebirds and gulls.

The oft-told tale of its start in 1900 as an alternative to the “side-hunt” which was itself a long tradition in many families warms many a birder’s heart. No real harm would come, right? You would at least think twice about it, right? Or the Great Bird Count. But what would the positive results be?

Mango is now nearly 3 and the whole family likes him. I don’t want her to pass away thinking that my neighbours are the ones that loved her the most and that I abandoned her. After a couple of days, I started to introduce their smells to each other and gave them food on opposite sides of the same door. I have considered some options.

It’s often considered wasteful that so many nests are abandoned and left to degenerate, but my theory of one of the reasons for this behavior is related to predation. African Harrier-Hawks, snakes and other predators frequently raid weaver colonies to rob the nests of eggs and chicks. Image taken in Samburu, Kenya by Adam Riley.

A fun and easy holiday treat to make for your dog, and for the other dogs in your life, can be found right here. The economic downturn has had a profound effect on the financial welfare of families, many of whom have been forced to surrender their beloved pets to shelters. Love that they are a great alternative to store bought treats!

Here’s a video of Ted Cruz agreeing with the ultra right-wing crazies and promising to grant them their wish. The goals of these national right wing groups seek the handover of federal land to private ownership. What has been the Republican response to this illegal occupation ? www.youtube.com/watch?v=flLFQnW7CUc. v=flLFQnW7CUc.

My imagination conjured a frog desperate to return to his home and family, but trapped in a surreal world of artificially-cold air, very little dirt, ostensibly no available water, and precious few bugs to eat. He started frolicking with abandon in the dried green moss at the base of Bob, our resident Spathophylum.

As in the first edition, all bird images for all species are drawn facing or flying right. In the case of hawks, this often means flying up and to the right, and in the case of White-breasted Nuthatch, this means facing down and to the right. But, always to the right.
