10,000 Birds

NOVEMBER 30, 2011

There are just two left for me in the Sibley Guide to Canada and the bits of the USA that count (Hawaii need not apply) – the Olive Warbler (Peucedramidae)and the silky-flycatchers (Ptilogonatidae).

Animal Ethics

JULY 5, 2007

No wonder rBGH has been banned in Europe, Canada, Japan, Australia and New Zealand. Europe and Canada outlawed using hormones on dairy cows because of such human and animal health concerns. Such hormones may increase the risk of breast, colon and gastrointestinal cancers, according to a University of Illinois study.

So, inspired by a similar article on road birding in Thailand, I present road birding in New Zealand. As with any kind of road birding, birding as a car passenger in New Zealand generally restricts the kind of birds you’re going to see. So that is birding on the road in New Zealand.
