Second, reading about birds courting and parenting brings out the tendency to identify, which leads directly to anthropomorphism, the tendency to assign birds human emotions and thoughts. Think of birds too much as humans and you lose the specialness that makes them birds. Some people love books like that. Yellow Warbler fledgling.

It is organized taxonomically, with families identified by first scientific and then popular name. ffrench’s descriptions are delightfully uneven, reflecting his personal experiences with the birds, his research, and his personality.

In a time of little published information about the rainforests of Central and South America aside from scientific journal articles and the works of 19th-century naturalists, the “little green book,” as it was called, became a must-read amongst nature-oriented travelers and researchers.

Well-represented exotic families include starlings, ducks and doves and there are also many more individual species that now thrive here. The population is not directly dependent on human support. I suspect that way more research and documentation is conducted on indigenous bird species.

Birders in the Americas may not be aware of it, but from the higher ground of a European perspective the American “warblers” are intensely overrated. To us on the traditional side of the Atlantic, they’ll always belong to the family Iznogoudae , the birds who want to become warblers instead of the warblers.

Birders who submit their checklists to eBird likely know that their data may be used to conduct research on avian migration, range, or population. It has also been used by researchers from other fields, such as economists. I emailed the Dr. Lopez and asked about this research and the use of eBird data.

crossing the Carribean and winding up in South America? Non-human beings have traditionally thought of on a basically immoral level…they lack any intrinsic values, are incapable of thoughts and emotions, and are only worth how good of a coat they make or how good they taste. Let’s cover the basics. But I digress.

I walked the breadth of the nesting area before finding a tern family that was a little bit away from the densest part of the colony and looked interesting.

“Spooked” is a bit of a strong word as I was very likely the first human this bird had ever seen and it stuck around for quite a while merely five metres away from me. At least in the northeastern United States, their rate of so doing is high, according to research I summarized here. Hummingbirds are awesome!
