For many North American birders, wood warblers represent everything exciting, compelling, and immediate about birding. North American warblers, on the other hand, often bear names of, at best, marginal utility. Consider some examples: NAMED FOR OTHER BIRDS.

Not sure that I impressed them, I chose to bluff them and looked left and right for a suitable tree branch to pick. At some stage, a salmon-hunting bear at a shingle beach came too close, mere 9 steps.

But the tenets of the North American Model were developed in the 19th century, when wildlife ethics and science were a mere glimmer of what we understand today. This standing and the rights associated with it must be enforceable against the government so that the public can hold it accountable.

Hugh Powell is a science editor at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. Hugh, who years ago helped me find my first Pauraque in the Rio Grande Valley , visited Peru as part of the 2014 World Birding Rally, where he stopped thinking of himself as an experienced birder. This is his first contribution to 10,000 Birds.
