There are two things you need to know about A Field Guide to the Wildlife of South Georgia , edited by Robert Burton and John Croxall, and produced by the South Georgia Heritage Trust. The temptation will be to jump to the Wildlife sections. Who can resist penguins and whales? Nor is it about Georgia, the country in Eurasia.

Then travel to the Rockies, for a ringside seat as male bighorn sheep go head-to-head in a bloody battle for breeding rights. Then go to the Atacama Desert where Humboldt penguins raise families in the driest place on earth. Then go to the Atacama Desert where Humboldt penguins raise families in the driest place on earth.

I got to see a beautiful female and owlet on a trip to a secret nest location near Howard Prairie Lake (human-made nest structures have enhanced local breeding for these huge owls whose nest success is boosted to 83% on artificial platforms vs. 66% at natural sites). Donna’s BBOTY – an African Penguin.

I went out with the morning sunrise tour and then came back with the wildlife tour in the afternoon, something they are prepared to do for birders who want to spend time on Blumine Island (if both tours are going anyway). They are breeding and expanding on the island and I can go back one day and know I have a chance of seeing them then.

Birding has been an all-consuming interest for Patrick Cardwell since boyhood days spent in a wildlife-rich environment. Here one is close to the scenically impressive Cape of Good Hope National Park as well as the Boulder’s Coastal Park, home to hundreds of breeding African Penguins.

Also, these human-occupied area are probably full of toxins and other impediments to normal use by wildlife. And penguins. Forget about penguins. The Galapagos and South African penguins may be OK but many of those living in the Antarctic are doomed. Get more National Wildlife Federation updates at NWF.org/News.

I did that with Peacocks & Picathartes – Reflections on Africa’s birdlife (published by Penguin Random House South Africa ). This book is essentially about those birds that breed on the continent south of the Sahara, a topic few birders are familiar with. Day after day went by, with much sound but no sight of the peacocks.

As part of the Wildlife Conservation Society Birds of Brazil giveaway we asked readers of 10,000 Birds to name the bird in Brazil that they would like to see more than any other species. Not to mention, its brilliantly bulbous crimson throat, bloated during breeding season must be a sight! and would love to watch Rockhopper Penguins.

Last month woodpeckers, this month penguins. None fly, most are curious and social, which probably contributes to our cultural perception of penguins as one step away from human. King Penguins heading out to feed, Macquarie Island (beginning of book). The introductory Penguin Who’s Who introduces each species visually.
