Having said that, we expect wind mills to increase in number, and the specific birds that are killed by them may be a particularly sensitive group (i.e. According to the US Fish and Wildlife Service , there are about 10 billion breeding birds in the US. eagles and vultures ) so we need to pay attention.

Joseph Chiera is a Masters student in Animal Behavior and Conservation at Hunter College in NYC and a “somewhat newbie” to birding. There were three other small groups staying there and after dinner we all drove 40 minutes to the cliffs. There you will find more breeding terns, gulls and dozens of Graylag Geese.

Plastic behaviors are not automatically unrelated to natural selection, but the way those behaviors vary across individuals or across groups may not be best explained by underlying genetic differences. Plasticity in humans is probably modulated primarily through experience and enculturation. My research in the Congo supports this idea.

Explaining the increase in the number of sightings is difficult, as the Siberian breeding population is declining. My most recent attempt to see it, earlier this week, was relatively easy, as all I had to do was look for the small group of birdwatchers already watching it.

Yes, Germans were a particularly supersticious breed in the days of old, and would not dare to use the word devil even when cursing. You see, in German we have three distinct words for different groups of owls. If you haven’t learned their specific vocabulary, you wouldn’t even understand what the heck two hunters are talking about.

Nationwide, wildlife watchers now outspend hunters 6 to 1. Giving a few hundred hunters something else to shoot, in my opinion, cannot be worth the blowback from tens of thousands of people who are willing to travel and spend just to watch the birds fly over. Additionally, sandhill cranes reproduce very slowly.

Thanks mostly to David Lindo, The Urban Birder, there are a few British bird groups touring the country every year now, even the BBC came to film the world famous Long-eared Owl gathering in the town of Kikinda with more than 700 birds in some winters.

So, one might surmise, it’s OK if they get shot by hunters thinking they’re sandhill cranes? Another 170 are in captivity, many of them breeding stock for reintroduction efforts. What could motivate gunmen (I cannot call them hunters) in two states to deliberately kill North America’s tallest and most critically endangered bird?

It’s a small group of 10 to 12 researchers and crew members, and Fox is the sole person responsible for the bird surveys. The species was seemingly killed off by feather hunters, but then, after years, reappeared at the site of one of the deserted breeding colonies, Torishima Island in Japan.

Here’s hoping this bird makes it back to its home turf to breed and comes back to spend another winter in New York State! He lives in Forest Hills with Daisy, their son, Desmond Shearwater, and their two indoor cats, Hunter and B.B. Isn’t conservation about putting the group ahead of the individual? I disapprove.

The population decline is generally blamed on habitat destruction and introduced predators, but inter-breeding may also be to blame. Foxes have also been known to take their eggs and there are now numerous local groups who endeavour to help the populations of Hooded Plovers along their local coastlines.
