As a result, the Aruba Birdlife Conservation Foundation began a campaign to make the Burrowing Owl the country’s national bird , which was officially named in 2012.

Be warned, The Atlas of Birds is not a map book, though it does contain maps, lovely orange and purple and green bird distribution maps. It is not an encyclopedia, though it does summarize research, explain basic concepts, and ends with a section on bird statistics. Intriguing, isn’t it?

This is a bird that flew over 3,400 miles in one flight from Brazil to South Carolina, an amazing bird that is representative of every other Whimbrel. And though the satellite transmitter let Machi be tracked it did not protect it from the hunters’ guns. Machi was, of course, only one bird.

This was more than 30 years after these types of anti-coagulants had first been implicated in the deaths of protected wildlife and pets, as well as the sickening of children. Bromethalin comes in worm-like shapes, all the better to entice ingestion by moles, voles, and protected songbirds, not to mention adventurous children and pets.

Last year I reviewed The Feather Thief , an enjoyable tale centering on the use of feathers in the Victorian art of salmon fly-tying, and how that led to the theft of priceless bird skins by one obsessed young man. Ironically, only the women of one of these campaigns, the suffragette movement, have been recognized and honored.

I bird, therefore I am. Birding defines me, that much is clear. Yet, for the last month and a half I don’t remember doing any birding (my longest pause in the several years, for sure). But what happened to birding? Basically, I managed to cut myself off my favourite birding area.

Consequently, the Ross Sea has become a focus of numerous environmental groups who have campaigned for a world marine reserve.

The RSPCA are trying to raise awareness of its urgent campaign to protect the welfare of UK meat chickens. Even at current minimum standards, each bird is given less space than a sheet of paper. But this legislation would allow yet more birds to be squashed in, cutting that space by almost a quarter.

By the early 1980s, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was aware that poison control centers were reporting 12,000 to 15,000 calls annually regarding children under the age of 6 ingesting rat poison, and rodenticides were documented as causing large numbers of secondary poisoning in wildlife.

For far too long there has been a bird that North American birders have mocked, derided, persecuted, hated, and, perhaps worse of all, ignored. It is a common bird, seen in cities, suburbs, and agricultural lands. It is accused of driving native species out and it has the protection of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act withheld from it.

Out of just under 200 bird species I observed this year in SE Europe, there are 6 threatened species. Some of them were always uncommon in the region, others are highly localised, some are hard to notice among thousands of similar birds, but others were abundant recently and one of them still is, despite the decrease in numbers.
