This is what we need for birds, whose rights as government-protected species are violated every day by free-roaming cats. What birds need is their own SWAT team. Outdoor/feral cat people are bullies who prey on people unable to fight back, just as their cats do with birds. You call the SWAT team. It’s time for this to end.

An unfortunate side effect of birding in the developing world, is the amount of habitat destruction you are likely to see. I keep my eyes on the prize: a small patch of forest with lots of diversity for wildlife. I now protect the lots Huizaches, which shelter self-sown fruiting plants such as Granjenos and Prickly Pears.

Recent studies highlighted by the American Bird Conservancy show that cats make up a significant portion of the diet of Coyotes. Want your cat to survive? Keep it indoors! In related news, Universal Orlando’s Loews Hotel should be lauded for deciding to take action to remove a feral cat colony from the hotel’s grounds.

In an area known for ‘the cleanest water in the world,’ 234,000 acres were sheltered from mining exploration…until now. Under fire for the last 30 years at varying degrees of effectiveness, the pristine Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is threatened again by salivating oil company execs and their political cronies.

This 90 acre lake, managed by Arizona Fish and Wildlife is about a 45 mile drive from Tucson, and 9 miles from Mexico, as the Chihuahuan Raven flies. The layout of the lake has many small fingers that provide shelter, shallow water and many dense areas of Willow and Cottonwood trees. One raft along had over 380 birds in it.

These vociferous little birds can usually be heard throughout the freshwater and saltwater marshes in North America. The male shown in the video above, filmed at Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge, was in the process of gathering nesting material for what usually adds up to a dozen to two dozen nests! Why do they build so many nests?

We were constantly being asked locally if we had crossed the river yet to see the magnificent birding at North Cave Wetlands and so it was only a matter of time before we headed over the Humber Bridge to see what everybody was talking about! Our first stop was the area marked Wild Bird Cafe next to the car-park.

I know it sounds strange, especially when the folks at Mission San Juan Capistrano are trying to coax them back by playing recordings of the bird’s mating calls. Because I am a local Audubon board member, I was recently contacted by a bird lover who witnessed Cliff Swallow nests being destroyed at the marina where they dock their boat.

Before you get too keen on the idea, it is important to remember ducks and geese need adequate outside space, shelter and access to enough water to allow them to perform their natural water-related behaviours including preening. Unlike older birds, ducklings (young ducks) and goslings (young geese) do not have waterproofing on their feathers.

Not only did we not think about the impact of the Australian wildfires on wildlife, but we didn't see the AP story on our very own sidebar. While the scope of the wildlife devastation was still unclear, it was likely to be enormous, {Jon Rowdon, president of the rescue group Wildlife Victoria} said. We are losers.

The problem of free-roaming cats — and their predation on birds and other wildlife — is hotly contested in communities across the country, and it triggered a lively exchange in the hearing room.

Danum Valley is the finest birding location I have ever been to. And places I have seen more birds. But a a package, if I had to rate the best places I’ve ever been birding, the only place I can think that comes close is Mweya, in Uganda, or maybe Tikal, in Guatemala. There are, certainly, places I’ve enjoyed more.

Long before I moved in New Zealand, or visited or even knew much about the wildlife here, way back then I knew about the Poor Knights. Fortunately we stopped for lunch in a sheltered bay and I recovered in time for my next dive. I knew about them because I was a scuba diver. Thanks to her, Abi, Gareth and Tron for a great trip!

With a transit time of at least two hours from any of the accommodations typically used for birding, this relatively pristine area is awash with surprises.

For those that might not fully comprehend, the birding slang-term to “dip” or to “dip out on” a bird is to go looking for a particular species and not find it. That bird can then be referred to as a”dip”, the noun version of the word. All twitchers will experience it at some stage or another.

What I don’t understand is why animal rights organizations almost completely ignore wildlife. Habitat destruction and degradation is far and away the number one reason why wildlife populations are extirpated or go extinct. This makes perfect sense. There is nothing abstract or controversial about this. For example, when the U.S.

I’ve been fortunate to encounter many owls in my birding life, sometimes because I’m looking for them, sometimes happily by happenstance. It’s also about human-owl interaction on an individual level and a wider sociocultural level, and ultimately how we can use all this for habitat and bird conservation.

The weather in Karratha was very hot during our visit with daytime temperatures of 38c (100f) and the predominant birds in the township were Little Corella , Crested Pigeons and Silver Gulls. Karratha is a town built on industry and first impressions do not give you particularly high hopes for any good birding areas.

There is no raptor quite so removed from the typical confines of what a bird of prey should look and behave like. They are the most terrestrial bird of prey in the world, regularly covering over 20 miles a day in their relentless search for food. So long that they have to crouch to drink or pick up food.

Hot summer days, often reaching 40C/104F, time to open another beer and dream of birding some cooler place, a place where deep shade of tall trees controls the heat… Perhaps the world’s second largest rainforest? The region also provides food, fresh water and shelter to more than 75 million people of nearly 150 distinct ethnic groups.

But I don’t agree with the supplemental feeding that happens with feral cats–if you’re gonna call them wildlife, treat them as such. We do what we can by giving them food, shelter, and getting them their shots and fixed to prevent more feral litters.” If one bird is gone, there’s always another.
