Feeding birds is generally regarded as a harmless past-time, a wholesome way for people to share nature and enjoy wildlife with the family. As the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources began their Trumpeter Swan reintroduction program, she had a pair show up one winter. She added more corn.

I was not offered any historical perspective, such as that apparently even the great nineteenth century taxonomists with their immense Victorian vocabularies lacked the resources to properly name the birds of Peru. And I, like some dowager countess in a birding vest, am expected to know each one’s family at a glance and greet them by name.

Jon Fjeldså’s contributions include many of the ducks, yellow-finches, and many other families where his images of Birds of the High Andes could be used.

Species Accounts are arranged taxonomically, grouped by family. Family sections start with a brief description of the characteristics shared by the species in the family, followed by a description of the sounds made by those species and how they obtain their song/call knowledge. Or, maybe that is good news too?

But, I don’t think there is a bird identification guide around, on warblers or any other bird family, that has invented its own analytic system. The Resources section is very brief. Many birders are already familiar with the concept of The Warbler Guide. I’ve tried to learn the system, it’s not easy.

I haven’t done any surveys, but I would bet my binoculars that images and stories of hawks attract more attention and adoration from birders and the average person on the street than any other bird family. Families do not hike up mountains to sit all day on pointy rocks to watch woodpeckers. Those cameras are aimed at hawks.

Itcher birds, migratory members of the tern family. In one simple blog post, it is impossible to address even the most basic questions about bird migration. The idea was to see if those without magnets taped to their heads got less lost then those with the magnets. People were doing things like that with birds, sharks, and humans.
