Emory’s Gift is about a boy, and a bear, and a lot of life that happens in between. What is it that makes Emory the bear so special? One day while fishing in the woods behind his home Charlie is saved from a mountain lion by a grizzly bear. What is the gift?

Lisa takes her to schools, fairs, and events, and together they show people why they should respect and admire the wildlife who live around them.

I plan on bearing witness to the ongoing event, with luck, I will find something rare mixed in with the droves of regular spring migrants.

Do you think that any event in our lifetimes will ever focus so much positive attention and excitement on nature or birding? I found myself on the shore of Lake Ontario on the most bitter day of this mild winter to observe over 1,700 maniacs take a Polar Bear Plunge. Not likely, right?

On the breeding grounds of the north, a small bird flies into the night, takes a bearing for the south, gains altitude and flies onward. It’s probably a rare event but then again, how many people are witness to the biodynamic happenings of the tropical forest understory? How’s that for an understatement of the obvious?

Other birding experiences have given me opportunities to meet kind, generous people in Mexico who seemed to belong to another time, to wonder if a nearby foraging bear was too close while doing a point count in Colorado, and to feel the deep territorial growl of a Jaguar in the primeval black of a Peruvian rainforest.

My attention was drawn upward by the elegant flying-knife form of an Osprey bearing a large fish. If these two events were fables, the Ravens would have switched roles in mere minutes from big hulking bullies to cunning, dogged little fighters. This is something to bear in mind when reading fables.

It has come to my attention recently, through the analysis of a chain of peculiar events, that Corey Finger is not a real person. Boy, do I have news for you. He is the pure product of Mike’s imagination, a likely combination of identity theft, theft of google images, and a pile of plain ol’ lies.

For, at least as both are usually construed, the only major difference between ethical egoism and act-utilitarianism is that the egoist is concerned with maximizing utility in his own case, so that only consequences which affect him bear upon the rightness and wrongness of his acts.

It bears an iconic name associated with insanity and betrayal, but also with time and seasonality. Therefore, it is easy for me to reflect here quite light-heartedly on what was my best bird of 2020, instead of reflecting on more severe events of the passing year. I saw the Cuckoo the second day of its visit. Short fall, soft landing.

Tropical Cyclone Joyce dumped 100mm of rain in Perth as it travelled south as a rain-bearing depression and the whole family had the experience of torrential rain in Western Australia. Not only were the skies incredible, but there had been huge hatching events and there were flying ants/termites everywhere! Flying ants at a fuel stop.
