Engber mentions that in 1972, the USDA put into place "a special exemption for rats, mice, and birds, allowing scientists to treat them however they saw fit—in cages of any size, in experiments with any degree of pain and suffering.

And, of course, I got to see Kirtland’s Warblers on their breeding grounds in the jack pines woods of the lower peninsula of Michigan, on a wonderful trip led by New Jersey Audubon naturalists Scott Barnes and Linda Mack (who teased me nonstop about leaving them in the lurch two weeks earlier). ” [[link].

Hopefully, the winter time in Shanghai gives the Black-faced Buntings some time to relax from the challenges of the breeding season.
