Written in a friendly, inclusive style quietly grounded in science, How to Know the Birds is an excellent addition to the growing list of birding essay books by talented birder/writers like Pete Dunne and Kenn Kaufman.

Aficionados of natural history writing should recognise the author as that of the Song of the Dodo , the popular science book about biogeography and conservation that to me rates as one the finest popular science books ever written. The book is about zoonoses, diseases that jump from animals to people. This lake is close to the cave.

Another blog has some very interesting remarks about the species, which I will just recite directly as they are well-phrased: “The Greater Racket-Tailed Drongo, a conspicuous black bird with a deeply forked tail, often forages in flocks comprised of up to a dozen different species of birds. My cats refuse to even try Fiery Minivets.

Can you remember the world before blogs? I’m tempted to say I’ve been blogging for all of my adult life, but if you’ve seen the gray in my hair, you recognize that statement as, at best, exaggeration. And yet the nature blog feels like something we’ve always had and enjoyed. Just like Facebook.

Even the lyrics of the song echo the art and science of hawk watching, “Link by link, making the connections…”) Chapters are strategically illustrated with David Sibley’s drawings. David also writes Sibley Guides , a blog in which he talks about natural history subjects. These are not just drawings of hawks per se.

He writes about how experienced birders think, and how they draw on the sciences of weather, geography, and ecology to analyze where the birds will be. Lovitch rightly recommends David La Puma’s Woodcreeper website as “one of the best and most accessible blogs about birding by radar”.

Each took merely a minute or two.

It is kind of unappealing to see blog posts with highly specific and rather boring-sounding titles such as this one. Sounds a bit like some weird Nazi eugenics experiment to me, but I guess it is just science. Biologists – or as Ze Frank would say, the Science Hippies – call this ecological segregation (e.g.,

First of all, I would like to thank Keith for inviting me to be a part of this blog. Keith has not only been my favorite Philosophy professor that I have studied under during the course of my college experience, but my favorite professor in general. Currently, I do not believe that killing an animal is prima facie morally wrong.

I imagine the female bosses the male around, but maybe I am anthropomorphizing there based on my experience in recently working on an apartment with my wife. In Black-throated T**s , nest building is done by both sexes, though the female takes the dominant role (HBW). Such a cute bird deserves a better representation.

Plumb forgot about blogging, I did. Forgot about my own blog; forgot about my kids (just ask them). I’ve been working on it so long that holding it in my hands was a completely surreal experience. There’s a lot of science in the book, but there’s also magic. This experience cemented my conviction.

Fortunately, in science, there is often a way to turn a defeat into a victory – in this case via the author just coming up with a new hypothesis, “if black eagles use the frequency or intensity of mobbing as a clue to locate nests, a lack of seasonal difference in mobbing behavior by drongos may be an evolutionary adaptive strategy.”

More than 150 bird species are known to have become extinct over the past 500 years, and many more are estimated to have been driven to extinction before they became known to science. Several powerline marking experiments are in place, and hopefully a workable solution will be found for the main problem affecting this species.

Nonprofit organizations, science, and the best intentions in the world came to the rescue with a captive breeding program, and we now have over 400 Pink Pigeons living in Mauritius, the nearby island of Ile aux Aigrettes, and the zoos hosting the breeding program, including the Bronx Zoo. Is this the type of avian experience we want?

But it is all for science, I hear them say. Normally sandpipers place their nests on the ground. One puzzle solved.
