10,000 Birds

And birders spend a lot of their time watching the tree-crowns and, in the right place, spotting many other tree-dwellers. Strictly speaking, Mammals of Madagascar is not a field guide, because some larger groups (rodents, bats) cannot be identified down to a species level following the concise descriptions and a single illustration.

The Carolina Wren pictured above was caught in a Walmart in a trap set for rodents. But be it a mouse, bird, bat, gecko, kitten … it’s a very bad way to go, and no creature should have to suffer death by torture. See Safe Rodent Control. They’d baited the trap with seed and a bit of cake! Ugh, glue traps!” Glue traps!

I was looking out a car window the other day and noticed that of all the wildlife most of it was bird. The largest bird, forming the short bar on the right of the bird histogram, is a swan. Those mammals consist of the previously mentioned fossorial members of Insectivora, Rodents, and bats. This is not a surprise.
