The section is dominated by large portraits of the 180 birds that have been documented by Project FeederWatch as visiting feeders across North America (most of which do not come to my feeders, so reading it made me a little sad and jealous).

Cats are domesticated animals that are not indigenous wildlife in North America. If left unchecked, free-roaming cats will breed and their populations increase at locations where they find suitable shelter and food, resulting in environmental/property damage, and public nuisance.

Even during the breeding season the birds appear to be quite unwary of humans. Often, as I have been investigating the contents of a nest by making a small hole in the side, the parent birds have come right to the nest, where they immediately begin to repair the damage even before my departure!”.

A lovely looking and distinctive sounding bird (so they say, I sadly have not seen one…yet), the Kirtland’s Warbler can only be found during its breeding season in Jack Pine forests 5 to 20 years old in the northern Lower Peninsula of Michigan. Rapai also accompanies an experienced volunteer on the annual Kirtland’s Warbler Census.

Am I over-confident in my thinking that we were so interesting that they were investigating us for a good half an hour, until we moved further upriver? Located within a Puinave indigenous reserve, these remnants of ancient parent-rock are some of the oldest geological formations in all of South America. metres (7.6

On the contrary, the birds were quite satisfied with their new-found freedom and realms, and started breeding immediately after their escape in the spring of 2001, much to everyone’s surprise. Their ecology in Germany is being investigated, but the results have so far been inconclusive. Turns out, it wasn’t.

Males of this species are more brightly colored in their non-breeding winter plumage.

Over the course of nearly 15 years, James Paruk of the Biodiversity Research Institute and his colleagues used a combination of methods to investigate winter site fidelity at four locations across North America and found that birds had an 85% chance of returning to a site in subsequent years.

White-fronted Goose by John James Audubon (1785-1851) from The Birds of America. So, “glen” is easy enough, but unless you’re well versed in Scots Gaelic toponyms, decoding the names of the many “Glen-” whiskies out there in full requires a bit more investigation.

If the animal then touches or investigates the mark, it is taken as an indication that the animal perceives the reflected image as an image of itself, rather than of another animal. There was a breeding pair at Binjiang Forest Park this June. When the animal recovers from the anesthetic, it is given access to a mirror.
