Consequently, the Ross Sea has become a focus of numerous environmental groups who have campaigned for a world marine reserve. So close to the pole only a handful of bird species can survive, and even so, death toll is very high, hence their populations must be huge (millions). Photos (3) © Oceanwide Expeditions.

They had to cancel a big project that would have showcased polar bears and seals. Lanthier, a veterinarian and walrus researcher who took the helm in Calgary two years ago, says the cancellation of the polar bears exhibit might please some animal-rights extremists, but the reality is a blow to Canada's white bears.

That fallacious family name seems to have encouraged all manner of knaves, dunderheads, and miscreants when time came to label species. Most of the warblers south of the border escaped this ignominy; those Basileuterus and Myiothlypis species generally appear exactly as advertised. NAMED FOR PEOPLE. NAMED FOR PLACES.

Am I willing to give up the field guide which bears the mud and dirt of so many falls on so many birding trips? It gets very confusing when I’m trying to look at subspecies descriptions in multiple field guides (“Slate-Colored Fox Sparrow” in Sibley West, for example, is “Western Slate-colored Group” in Stokes West).

The Chiffchaff Phylloscopus collybita is an abundant species with an impressive global range that stretches from the West of Europe across Siberia to Russia’s far East, just falling short of reaching the Bering Straits by a laughable 800 kilometres, a fact one individual apparently found too awkward to bear. canariensis ).

Secondly, much of the appeal is that this is a bird we don’t see in the UK very often, for Waxwings are an irruptive species, and in most years only a few ever reach our shores from their breeding grounds in the boreal forests of Scandinavia. I’ve managed to see them, too, on their breeding grounds in Finland in summer.

When not climbing, he collected species, and thus a number of birds are named after him. So, like a football stadium named after an insurance company, the broadbill ended up bearing a name celebrating a sponsor. Interestingly, the first description of a nest of Whitehead’s Spiderhunter was only published in 2015.

A juvenile, if I am correct – and a rather rare bird in Shanghai, this being rather at the southern end of the wintering breeding range. eBird seems to be critical of this species’ work ethics, stating that “it flies lazily over open fields or marshes” Maybe the owl is just sleepy, not lazy.

Many individual species get an entry too, though they are generally not capitalized. Are Laysan and Midway, the two primary breeding locations, “adjacent” despite being hundreds of miles apart and separated by other islands? Is it really “found on” Laysan and adjacent islands? But I’m no lexicographer.

The clifftop habitats along rocky shores of the North Atlantic (on both sides of the pond) abound in bird biomass during breeding bouts, for instance. This is also a hard question to address because most data on animal size distribution does not compare across classes of animals, and/or focuses on groups that would not be helpful.

She doesn’t know the species till it emerges, almost dreamlike, from the heavy glare of the sun. Though the coast of British Columbia, a part of the Great Bear Rainforest, was rich in both, it was appallingly deficient in scientific data. Fox encounters 69 species, some singly, some in huge feeding or migrating flocks.
