10,000 Birds

The love that Montgomery feels for the hawk and its wildness will never be reciprocated: a raptor is not a dog or a horse. In The Hawk’s Way, Montgomery is very good on the ethical dilemmas inherent in falconry, centered on both the bird and the woman, even if she never resolves any of them definitively.

Note the short legs, stout body and white rump and tail I see Muntjac on virtually every birding (or dog-walking) outing, as these small Asian deer are now very numerous around my home in the Suffolk Brecks. Rather more are killed in collisions with cars. He complained they were eating the grass he wanted for his horses.

Perhaps the most well known mosquito born disease, heartworms can be fatal to dogs and occasionally cats and foxes. Heartworm larvae are carried by mosquitoes and then transmitted to the dog’s bloodstream when the mosquito bites. Once the worms hatch, they reach the dog’s heart, eventually causing death if not treated soon enough.

Sadly there are 4 million healthy adoptable companion animals killed in shelters each year due to overcrowding. In addition to dogs and cats, we now feature all kinds of pets for adoption, including rabbits, farm animals, ferrets, hamsters and other small animals, horses, reptiles, amphibians, birds, and even fish.

There’s always a chance that we could ingest something bad for us, something that might even kill us – a peril we face anytime we swallow anything, in fact. By most reckonings, the Northern Hemisphere is in the middle of the so-called dog days of summer. Good birding and happy drinking! Louis, Missouri population. So drink up.
