I myself mostly poke the internet and watch other people play video games and ask myself questions like “Could cat litter be the most important invention in the history of modern environmentalism?”*. That said, I do manage to get some birding in even so. Weirder things have happened. And a Yellow-headed Amazon ?

She runs Birds of Texas Rehabilitation Center in Austin County, Texas. Upon arrival we were given strict and non-flexible rules: never go even one inch off the ice paths, never allow the tiniest piece of litter to escape, never interact in any way with the wildlife, and cause absolutely no environmental damage. Who its predators were?

A breeding bird atlas is a special kind of book. For birders, it’s the extremely large book, shelved in a place where it can’t crush the field guides, used to research the history of a bird in their area. It included surveys of nocturnal and marsh birds, and a point count survey of songbirds.

At first we were concerned that another dog had been injured, perhaps hit by one of the hunter’s cars (who were watching the pack as well). Falakhe is still alive, as is the dominant male in his litter. And in the middle of that excitement was a weak, badly limping, skinny looking runt of a dog. I didn’t need to.

Whilst we were planning our trip to Sydney we were hoping to fit some hiking and birding into our schedule and found a great website that would help us decide on some walks. As it was about 10kms long we knew it would take more than the 4 hours mentioned if we were birding, so would be a day out. We continued on along the trail.
