Aesthetic charm is probably a big part of making a bird interesting to outsiders, and unfortunately most gulls fall fairly short in both form and voice. If you would kindly ignore the fact that it eats putrid, bloating seals, it’s adorable. Still, those Ivory Gulls surviving off those putrid seals are tough cookies.

Because Midway is home to endangered species ( e.g. , Laysan Duck, Hawaiian Monk Seal), FWS must also comply with the Endangered Species Act (ESA).

You (or your child/friend/etc) have just found a seemingly parentless baby bird. Here with the answer(s) is Maureen Eiger, a bird rehabilitator in Roanoke, VA: .

But global climate change is by no means the only way that humans can throw a wrench into those gears. During the winter the birds are dependent on small fissures in the sea ice kept open by the currents of the bay. I hadn’t really thought about that much until, the other night, a friend and I went to see People of a Feather.

The birds that wear tuxedos and star in major motion pictures. People call them “flightless birds&# but they do in fact fly; They just do it underwater. The evolution of the living penguins is one of the best known cases among birds, or even vertebrates in general, mainly through the study of DNA, bio-geography, and anatomy.

That said, the purpose is to cover the world-wide puffin picture, and North American puffin redoubts like Eastern Egg Rock, Matinicus Rock, and Machias Seal Island (confusingly referred to by the joint term Matinicus Seal Island in at least one instance.) That said, the field is in its infancy and this is a short chapter.

It is easy to forget sometimes that birds can do weird things. By weird things I don’t mean human weird things, like for example wasting their time in wild places looking for unusual feathered animals and ticking them off a list, but things that fall outside of their usual repertoire of normal behaviour.

Sophie had serious doubts about whether she was really a bird. August arrived and I was releasing birds knowing they’d need time to adapt prior to making that long flight across the Gulf of Mexico, headed to South America. Sophie the Scissortail was the most difficult but the most satisfying bird of the season.”.

The NYC owls have little to do with the book in front of me except that it too is about birds and people. The 26 essays in When Birds Are Near are all about the real-life and emotional spaces where people overlap with birds. The essays range widely in place, bird, and voice, though the emphasis is on the North American.

The descriptions of the territory’s birds, seals, whales, introduced mammals, invertebrates, and plants are written within the framework of the conversationist, so it is more than a field guide, it is a record of endangered wildlife and the efforts being made to protect it.

But there is one Cape bird that stands head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to character – the African Penguin. But their endangered status is belied by the fact that they are one of the easiest rare birds to find in Africa. A pair of birds nested at Boulders Beach for the first time.

I think every naturalist in the United States knows the outlines of this urban tale: The pristine marshes of New Jersey are poisoned by pollution, toxic waste, pig farms, and probably every single way in which human beings can destroy the environment.

I thought after my recent look at the more angelic end of the avian spectrum it would be illustrative to descend into the circles of birding hell in order to regard, through the safety of the Internet, one of the baser demons in the pantheon of the birding gods. This is seldom a good thing for the human being recognized.
