To give an idea of what I mean by “birdy”, although Costa Rica is similar in size to West Virginia, more than 920 species have been recorded within the borders of this southern Central American country. With so many species to choose from, it’s far from easy to decide which merit inclusion.

I have no tours booked, and no migrant species have made it this far yet. As much as I suffer, I can’t help but think about what the combination does to the birds that live in this extreme desert environment. This is that time of year here in Mexico, where everything “birds” slows down to a crawl.

This book has so many great quotes that I'm going to have to write a couple of posts about them. Whenever the media report that someone has killed "an endangered animal" or "an endangered species," they too confuse an individual with a species. Hunters kill members of endangered species.

Animal rights is concerned with individual animals, and their suffering and welfare. Conservation is concerned about protecting populations, species, habitats, ecosystems. That conservation uses the death of the species it is trying to save is both paradoxical and not. Booking were down by half in some wildlife tourist sites.

Any open areas close to the city would be thronged, so I contacted Terry and asked if I could join him on a trip that he had booked for two other birders out to Miyun Reservoir. An article in Birding Asia from 2010 put forward that the bunting could be the next east Asia species to go extinct.

In the grand scheme of things, this is just a small town and only one person was killed due to injuries suffered. The next spring she reported that her first class was doing very well and were able to rapidly identify nearly 200 species.

My aunt Greet gave me a book in 1975 that featured the 60 most endangered birds in Europe. In the book, one picture stood out in particular: the White-headed Duck. For lack of better pictures that was the one that got used in the book (out of print – ISBN 90 274 8348 5). Buy the book and take a week!

It has entertaining stories, includes animals people care about because they like them (and also addresses that concept), and it describes how the numbers of various species decreased to the point of being classified as "endangered" or worse. Those are the final words of the book. Now we just need to step in a different direction.

Covering 1,261 species with data and taxonomy current up to August 2017, the field guide is an exciting achievement.

Similar to other woodpeckers, monogamy is the norm in this species – in one study , less than 1% of all chicks were extra-pair young. Nevertheless, the wryneck is an interesting bird – so interesting that there is a whole book about it which Donna has reviewed for 10,000 Birds. Their sex life is similarly unspectacular.

If you like animals you will generally not want them to suffer and you won’t want them to go extinct. Animal rights is concerned with preventing the suffering or even use of animals by humans. Wildlife conservation is concerned with protecting wildlife at the level of species or perhaps population. It’s only natural.

The good news is that if you know someone who needs to be schooled on all of the sordid details of factory farming, and appreciates good writing, this is a great book. Also, if, like me, you know someone who appreciates the things we do with language to mask the reality of our behavior, this is a great book. Not great, but good.
