But come spring, an even luckier few may even find a fellow survivor of their own kind with whom to start a family, unwittingly causing contentious debates among birders about the countability of established feral populations in the process.

I am not expert on our local wildflowers and scientists are constantly finding new species in remote areas of the Kimberley, so for some of the flowers I can only give you a family name. The water was warm and the ducks floated off as I approached! The feature photo shows Marshwort in the track. I waded out to take these photos!

In the Far East they keep birds of prey which they use to capture other animals such as foxes and rabbits. Many birds around the world in the Robin family ( Turdidae ) are favorites due to their musical songs. The quail, guans, ducks and pheasant are hunted for their meat. And these are just the direct assaults against birds!

The book is chiefly about how people have conceptualized and studied birds, but there is an underlying theme, the changing ways in which our Western culture has viewed animals, nature and God. It’s a huge scope for a 338-page book. With Birkhead, you never know what’s going to come next.

The Little Egret walks in front of her, a dozen Lesser Whistling Ducks flies noisily low above water and through a flooded grass wades one Black-winged Stilt.

In spite of this New Zealand does have an iconic family of birds that has served as an emblem for the country for over a century, the kiwi. Searching for kiwi is unlike spotlighting that I’ve done while looking for nocturnal animals in the past. They would all be wrong, as New Zealand has no official National Bird.

First published in November of 1843 the tale of a baby swan, or cygnet, being raised among ducks strikes a chord with many people, but in Denmark the works of Hans Christian Andersen bring feelings of national pride. The Numbat is the animal emblem. It is no wonder that the ugly duckling grew up to be the national bird of Denmark.

Disneynature’s first film, Earth , which comes out on Earth Day (April 22,2009), follows three animal families across the globe. My question is, what was your favorite animal to film?

He was adopted by the Masson family and was apparently the most loving dog all who met him had ever had the pleasure of being licked by.

It is much easier to get up closer to a bird, point the scope past a branch or to duck down low to get a head shot which is isolated against the background. But of course I also like taking images of other animals when the opportunity presents it self. Dragonflies, for example, are lots of fun and so are butterflies.

There were birds to watch but they were the gulls and ducks on the river, the sparrows in the fields, the finches that came to the feeder, the beautiful American Kestrel on the roadside wire.
