And so, when Salvador Ramirez left, there were feral goats on the island of San Clemente, the southernmost of the Channel Islands off the coast of California.

Birding by bear is by far the best way to view the park, although it seems to terrify the hoofed animals. 4) For the sake of keeping it real…if you are the breed of birder that is in possession of a very poor set of social skills… maybe you should just send any prospective birders my way instead. 5) Have a sense of humor.

In responding to Suzie’s post defending wildlife rehabilitation I began to think again about the areas in which animal rights and animal welfare overlap with the field of conservation, and the ways in which they don’t. Not from an environmental perspective but from a “don’t you like animals?”

That’s one reason, probably the biggest reason, why we don’t have centennials for animals that become extinct in the wild.

One strategy that varies among birds (and other animals) is the number of offspring. Others, like the petrels and some of the auks, will lay a single egg per breeding attempt.
