Our group watching the first Snow Leopard from a knoll above our camp in Hemis National Park. Our Snow Leopard sat, quite Cheetah-like, before stalking off and once again rolling in the gravel, apparently an indication of the desire to mask its scent before a hunt. In fact some of our group decided to head back to camp.

On my recent visit to southern Africa I saw them in several parks and even outside some protected areas, and in some numbers too. They are threatened by hunting for traditional medicine, veterinary drugs, and poachers who poison them to conceal their poaching activities.

The survival of songbirds depends in part upon eliminating illegal hunting. If you are a migratory bird in Europe and western Asia, this is your sweet spot. That means passing over the Mediterranean Sea and the Middle East, where you’re liable to get shot, trapped, or otherwise hunted.

Like the Adjutants in Asia and Jabiru of the Americas, the Marabou is our bare-headed scavenging stork. Only slightly shorter, but more elegantly built than the Marabou, the Saddle-billed also has a sister species in Asia, the Black-necked Stork. It is also related to Wood Stork of the Americas and Milky Stork of Asia.

We’ll take these two similar, yet very different groups of birds separately. The program has been successful enough that some of the birds have been released back into protected areas in California, Arizona, and across the border in Baja, but the species is still far from out of the woods. millions years ago. New World Vultures.

The Chestnut-winged Babbler is known as one of the host species of the Asian Drongo-cuckoo in Southeast Asia ( source ), a claim to fame that most bird species would probably prefer to avoid. The Blue-throated Bee-eater is much smaller than its relative, and easier to see as it likes to hunt from open wires rather than inside the forest.

Hunting: You may have noticed that the Written Species Accounts include a section on hunting. I am a city girl and until I became a birder my contact with hunting was limited to occasionally seeing dead deer on the tops of cars in upstate New York. So–not a fan of hunting. I was really taken aback when I saw this.
