Feral Cats Are An Invasive Species in North America (and elsewhere)

10,000 Birds

But they don’t live in North America. I find it astonishing that people argue of whether feral cats are bad for birds in North America. In North America, you’ve got Bears at the large end, Cats in the middle, and at the smaller end, the Mustilids. Unless we put them there. Which would be even worse.

Orange-headed Thrush

10,000 Birds

Informed literature bears out my experience that most birds are seen singly or in pairs. Jochen Mar 7th, 2011 at 5:51 pm Redgannet, almost all song birds at least in North America (and the Orange Thrush sure won’t be the only old world bird to have them, too) have these filamental plumes on their nape.

10,000 Birds

I must have keep 400 images in the file of just this one species. There is a small Federal Reserve, set aside on the white sandy beach near San Jose Del Cabo, in order to protect the nesting Least Terns. This late evening photo of an American Avocet is one of my all time favorites of this species.
