With this latest research in hand, advocacy organizations can work to reduce rice-related threats to Bobolinks wintering in South America. Rice farmers may use pesticides, or other methods to prevent the birds from eating their crops, further hastening the decline of the species. Bobolink photo courtesy of R.M. Jensen/ The Condor.

The wood stork occurs and breeds in Central and South America. Wood storks primarily breed in Central and South Florida. The wood stork was listed as endangered in 1984, because the Florida population was dropping at an approximate rate of 5 percent per year. However, birds in the U.S.

Later the continents broke up into smaller regions such as South America, Africa, Asia and such, an a few smaller pieces like Madagascar and New Zealand as well. This was on Gondwana. Verily, when it comes to news stories about evolution, mammals aren’t the only kind of animal that can be milked!

So comparisons of bill shapes, foot shapes, and the like can certainly stimulate the imagination, but we need rigorous science to explore and synthesize more molecular work, morphological analysis, and biogeographical hypotheses in order to close more gaps in our understanding. What do you think?

He wrote about birds in North America, Central America, and parts of South America, including the Galapagos. This is probably one of the reasons Daniel Lewis,the author,turned from writing a popular biography to a history of ornithology as a science and the ornithologist as a profession. It’s challenging reading.

And, I started daydreaming about encountering something a little different, maybe a Horned Frog, Ceratophrys cornuta, a large, squat green and brown frog of South America, with a wide mouth large enough to eat other frogs as well as reptiles. If you don’t live near a science museum, then read this chapter.

Diversity of habitat means, of course, great biodiversity, and the Introduction boasts that Bolivia “is the richest landlocked nation on Earth for bird diversity, the sixth richest overall, and the fifth richest in the Americas” (p. That’s pretty amazing–Bolivia has more bird species than India!

I was puzzled why the authors decided to include Buff-breasted Flycatcher, Pine Flycatcher, and Tufted Flycatcher, species that have extremely limited range in North America. Large and colorful, they include Mexico, Central America and sometimes South America, showing the full migration route. Phoebes and Myiarchus ?

It is self-evident when watching a grebe, for instance the wide-ranging and common Pied-billed Grebe of the Americas, that this is a bird built for the water unlike any other. I would never have believed it, but if the science says so who am I to argue otherwise?

Science is based on logic and evidence, which I think is a very respectable way to look at the world. Science, for many years, has done no better.

Where did the Coney Island Gray-hooded Gull come from, Africa or South America? I kept wishing I had Rare Birds of North America , by Steve N. In this book, rare birds are species “for which, on average, only 5 or fewer individuals have been found annually in North America since around 1950.” And, not very often.

Most Marbled Godwits breed in inland North America, and winter along the tropical coasts of Mexico and the Caribbean. They breed along the Arctic Circle in Canada and Alaska, and winter in southern South America, often in Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego. You may ask why I was so excited about my second sighting of this species?
