Some birds are so familiar, even non-birders can’t help but know what they are, or at least what family they belong to. Go birding for the first time in the Dominican Republic and you might wonder if a Broad-billed Tody is a flycatcher, a really lazy hummingbird, or if some super cute stuffed animal came to life.

The general public is out and about, birds and animals are raising their young, and human/wildlife interaction is at its peak. I wish people would start appreciating the misunderstood animals out there, like snakes and opossums,” wrote Elissa in New York. It’s August, and first on the menu is: Fried Rehabber. Summer is high season.

In a big city such as Shanghai, it is not always easy to see animals. This sometimes makes it difficult for wild animals to survive. The Black-crowned Night Heron is a member of the heron family. The Eurasian Tree Sparrow is another bird that is very common in our compound. Some Birds of Shanghai.

When staying with Daisy’s family in Yorba Linda, California, I often wake up early in the morning and take the short walk up to the southern end of Carbon Canyon Regional Park to do some birding. I half hid behind a bush, put my camera up, and waited. They bolted back into the brush and I was suddenly alone again.

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.

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.

That larger clade is in turn sister to a clade containing the four remaining totipalmate bird families, which do still seem to be related, and which needed a new order name once pelicans were removed. But meanwhile, let’s look at the four avian families that comprise the brand new order Suliformes.

In some cases someone was blown away by the scenery and thought “this needs saving” In some cases someone thought “there seems to be a lot of animals here, let’s keep things that way” Still others happen because no one had done anything with the land yet and no one wanted the land anyway.

Duck : “any of various swimming birds (family Anatidae, the duck family) in which the neck and legs are short, the feet typically webbed, the bill often broad and flat, and the sexes usually different from each other in plumage.”. Many individual species get an entry too, though they are generally not capitalized.

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. When aracaris go after young birds and other small animals, I can’t help but think of miniature velociraptors.

What seeds does a Baird’s Sparrow eat? Because its extremely difficult to conclusively demonstrate what any nonhuman animal is thinking or feeling, this lack (failure?) of understanding on our part has morphed into an assumption that animals are simply little robots, acting purely on instinct and nothing else.

I come from a large family: five sisters, two brothers and almost everyone has kids. Most of my family lives in Indiana, but thanks to social media we can easily keep in touch. They are all wonderful people and they are all animal lovers. But I’ve learned we love animals in very different ways.
