The shearwater’s common name is “Cory’s” because Cory was the first to realize that it was a species in its own right and publish. Sadly, I haven’t been able to come up with a better name for the magnificent creature currently named after a Boston Brahmin who liked to shoot things. Definitely not!

What I want to know is: a hundred feet away, how can these people tell the difference between a crow and a raven, which is a protected species?” It also brings to mind the uncontested link between animal abuse and violent behavior toward fellow humans.

In Boston, a turkey was the cause of a 2 car accident during the morning commute. Wild Turkeys were a species of concern in the 20th Century and several reintroduction programs were tried, including the release of domestic turkeys (that didn’t work so well). A woman in Ohio had a turkey crash through her windshield.

And besides, it’s nice to see something that isn’t the same 12 (now 13) species of seabird (plus Molly Meep Meep, a Black Brant ) There may not be as many as in October, but they are there, and they can be cool. Visiting this area for the first time after seeing it for month was a crazy experience. You could even smell its breath!

Spotting 57 species of birds in the couple of hours we put in to seeking out birds was never so ho-hum in my life. One final stop at a popular park in Queens netted us another nesting species that we only found because they can’t fly yet, Great Horned Owlets. So-so looks at a brown swallow. How exciting.

The story of the cahow, a “Lazurus species” that was thought to be extinct for over 300 years and then discovered to be breeding on a tiny remote island in Bermuda, is part of modern birding legend. He also mentors young conservationists, including Jeremy Madeiros, his successor as conservation officer. These are magical experiences.

It is only the prejudice of our species that justifies culling the deer population while protecting our own. BRINNING Boston, Dec. But whether with a flintlock or a modern rifle, hunting cruelly takes the life of a living, sentient being that has as much right to live as any hunter or writer. EISENMAN Highland Park, Ill.,

Stumpy Duck is an American pale ale by Trillium Brewing Company of Boston, Massachusetts, one of the most popular breweries in New England for the past few years. Afterwards, we had a great dinner at Trillium’s South Boston brewpub, and I made sure to check the to-go counter before I left to see if any of the Small Bird beers were available.

Hunting sandhill cranes in Kentucky is a bad idea from a public relations standpoint, considering the growing cadre of birders and nature enthusiasts for whom cranes are a touchstone species. Initiating a hunting season on a large, charismatic species like a crane is no way to resuscitate hunting.

It may be as sick as deliberately targeting an endangered species for death. Birders know that the light’s not always perfect or even particularly good when you’re trying to tell one species from another. Speculation is useless in acts of vandalism. It may be as simple as trying to hit the big white one. The big white one. It flies on.
