The voice, which we soon learns belongs to wildlife photographer Richard Moore, exclaims, “Migration is on!” ” So, it is established: this is a film about migrant birds and the people who work to protect them in south Texas and northern Mexico. ” and then adds, “The border wall is no barrier to birds.”

One might think that thanks to the Internet, all those ridiculous old wild animal myths handed down for generations would finally die a deserved death. I asked a group of wildlife rehabilitators: “What are some of the Worst Bird Myths? Songbirds eat bugs, and raptors eat whole birds/animals. Feel free to vent!”. Probably not.

But it wasn’t founded to serve as a refuge for human refugees, but animal ones, specifically elephants. The park was created as much to protect the local communities from marauding elephants with a hatred of dangerous humans and a lack of interest in the differences between nations as it was to protect the elephants.

Costa Rica is well known for national parks and other protected areas than offer access to tropical ecosystems dripping with biodiversity. However, as with many other places throughout the globe, this small country also has its fair share of urban wildlife. Lots of birds, a lot of really cool birds! Blackbirds.

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. They are commonest where they are intensively protected and managed, but these places are often remote and hard to visit. They would all be wrong, as New Zealand has no official National Bird.

People ascribe near mythic status to the members of the family Delphinidae (and other related families). Even people with no other interest in wildlife, who couldn’t tell a sparrow from an ostrich (or even a dolphin from a fish) love dolphins. Which has always mystified me slightly. And dolphins can do bad things.

They were still listed as Endangered, but wildlife management measures taken in this park were clearly working. And unlike the protection of cormorants, which was perceived as a problem, protection of pelicans was welcomed by the local communities. The moat would protect the islets and allow the birds to start nesting earlier.

of Fish and Wildlife Commissioner Jon Gassett has indicated that if enough people write in protest, the proposed hunting season–due to start this December– will be reconsidered. Hunting is on a steady downturn, and nonconsumptive wildlife pursuits are on a tremendous upswing. We can fight them back in Kentucky, too.

Fish and Wildlife Service tells states when they may propose a hunting season on cranes, and has ultimate jurisdiction over whether the states get their seasons. So we can squawk at the state wildlife departments all we want, but the USFWS has the final say. In the only state in the Central Flyway that protects cranes from hunting.
