It was not a kitty cat, even though all of its relatives in the Americas were. But they don’t live in North America. I once knew a guy who kept and raised cats. I new him because we enlisted his Dryfus Lion and one of his tigers to carry out experiments with bones (this is something archaeologists do).

Raised in and around the West Texas steppe country where temperatures reached 100 degrees with regularity, he began life as the Dust Bowl and Great Depression converged. That summer of 1938, when he was ten years old, Cade read of two brothers, Frank and John Craighead, who wrote of their experiences with falcons in National Geographic.

What are the best field guides for birds in North America? Many birders keep personal birding lists or life lists, documenting the species they have seen throughout their birding experiences. Encountering a spark bird is a transformative experience for many birders. What is a “nemesis bird” in birding?

It’s the warbler that is often the last unchecked species on birders’ life lists and, whether you list or not, for most of us observing it is a once in a lifetime experience. Let me know if you have seen the Kirtland’s Warbler, if you were part of the Magee Marsh experience or if you made the trip to Mio, and what that birding trip was like.

Being a westerner — raised in California, and now living in western Mexico — I was perhaps most excited about the migratory birds that breed in eastern North America. Still, this sort of wildlife experience is available in pretty much any Mexican city. Then, around 4:00 p.m.,

They would pause over them and just gaze, sometimes even raising the book towards their eyes in the vain hope that this action would allow them to see more.—more I ache that I will never see what the photographer has seen, but hope that maybe if I try hard enough I will see some kind of echo of this experience in the image.

plus a chapter on “Vagrant landbirds from North America.” The authors themselves–Rob Hume, Robert Still, Andy Swash, Hugh Harrop, and David Tipling–collectively have 100s of years of birding and photographic experience. There is an important area I haven’t touched on yet—accuracy of visual content.

Even the most ardent defenders of the morality of using animals for food and as “tools” in scientific experiments admit that premises (1) and (2) are true and acknowledge that (1) and (2) capture something central to our moral relationship to animals. Premise (4) is widely acknowledged. Running time: 12 Minutes.

During these months every Wilson’s Snipe would be busy with breeding in northern North America. If the bird raises its wings, it’s likely flying – and good luck trying to get a good view of a flying snipe! In fact, there are no recorded sightings of any snipes on Tobago between May – July.

The emphasis is on everyday birds seen in North America, though some of the more exotic and local species are thrown in for the color and romance of it all–Atlantic Puffin, Roseate Spoonbill, the poor extinct Heath Hen. Some of the chapters focus on a specific bird, most are about bird families like hawks, tanagers, wrens, etc.,

Any dedicated birder visiting Panama City should first consider the Canopy Tower , one of the most important and beloved birding lodges in the Americas. The food was better than decent, which exceeds our experience of Panamanian cuisine at most other locations. Let’s be honest: driving around Panama sucks. BIRDING NOTES.

Its first flight will take it from its burrow, usually on the west coast of the United Kingdom, to the coast of South America, an extraordinary journey for an unaccompanied minor. The shearwaters make good subjects for homing experiments. As a youngster of 10-weeks old, it is abandoned by its parents and left to fend for itself.

The Hoatzin, which may have reached South America by raft , has resisted placement in basically every study ever done. Some of our longstanding questions now have really fascinating answers, and if others are still open or if new ones have been raised, we now have greater knowledge and freer imaginations with which to pursue them.

Typically, at least here in North America, we think of migration as a north-south affair. We are familiar with the story, birds flying north in the boreal summer, taking advantage of the warmth, long days, and abundant insect life, to raise their young. Female Northern Wheatear. And for the most part it is.

For native people, living in South America meant living with hummingbirds, and for Europeans, discovering South American meant discovering hummingbirds (and, tragically, exploiting South America meant exploiting hummingbirds, destroying hundreds of thousands for stuffed specimens and in futile attempts to keep them alive in captivity.)

In my experience, Cinnamon Teal x Common or Green-winged Teal hybrids are the rarest; I have seen pictures of only 2 such birds and a 3rd bird (the one mentioned above) in life. Teal x Northern Shoveler hybrids seem fairly regular in North America and Europe. Teal is a broad term for a variety of dabbling ducks in the genus Anas.

I was fortunate to have been born and raised in Africa, and although I have traveled extensively around the world, it remains my home and in my blood. Approximately 2,300 bird species inhabit Africa, however as impressive as that sounds, much smaller South America boasts nearly 1,000 species more.
