I couldn’t help thinking this–me, the anthropomorphism hater– as I watched a pair of Philippine Eagles tend their nest, raise a chick, and tear monkeys apart in Bird of Prey: The Story of the Rarest Eagle on Earth , a well-crafted, beautifully filmed documentary with a mission.

Some people read cookbooks though they have no intention of whipping up a mushroom risotto, some people read bird guide books, even when the likelihood of actually seeing the creatures in those guides is remote.

Those large international agencies use reputable local ground agents, and in my experience this creates a safety cocoon around the travellers. And the answer to the question I am raising here is, yes, I would travel to Sri Lanka in the next period.

Do you really need to have Kai’s birding experience further detailed not just by month but a level below? As with Chinese male humans, having your own building is still vital to raising young.
