In all of the lovely messages we've been getting, I've noticed two trends: 1) Death is a communal experience as well as an individual one. Some people seem to think that animals' souls are different from those of humans, while others think they're the same. Some speak of a collective consciousness, and others speak of reincarnation.

But the experience I had this morning put my previous sightings in the shade. Coyotes are an often reviled and misunderstood animal but I find them beautiful and amazing, especially in how they have adapted to living in the interstices of human habitation. They bolted back into the brush and I was suddenly alone again.

While some people never overcome this vestigial aversion to sour and bitter sensations, this innate prejudice can be overturned with experience, becoming acquired tastes we learn to enjoy just as much as the more dependable, uncomplicated pleasures of sweetness, salt, and fat.

And, in a world where there is too much hate, the judgment of many earnest moralists is overwhelmed by the charms of love; and there are those who come to accept it at its own valuation and are thus led to assert that people have an obligation to increase the collective total of all value in the universe. But few people do this.

There are a few spectacles in the birding community that are high energy, happen quickly, and is worth any effort to experience it. One such experience is a bird grounding event, sometimes called a fallout. A fallout is usually reserved for more significant events, but there is no true gauge as to one versus the other.

NEW JERSEY – Animal shelters are full, they have no space, they often have no money, and they have a small amount of dedicated volunteers. Many of these boarding animals are forgotten. There is an estimated 3-4million pets euthanized each year in US animal shelters. Fostering is a wonderful experience.

No doubt the National Parks are aware of the situation, but it is also hard to deal with feral animals in remote areas.
