Got to finish browsing for the fawns and collecting chiggers,” wrote Becky, from an island off North Carolina. I wish for a federal law prohibiting domestic and feral cats from roaming free outdoors. Why is there no state or federal money available to care for federally protected species? Change in Law. That’s easy!”

The book is divided into three parts: “Introduction,” “Avifaunal Overview,” and “Species Accounts.” The recommendations will sound familiar to any birder or naturalist who wants to protect and improve her local patch: Immediately shut down cat feeding stations. Most birders will go straight to the “Species Accounts.”

Found throughout South America in ever-dwindling numbers these extremely beautiful birds – threatened by habitat destruction and collection for the wild bird trade – are often difficult to see and hard to find. Each bird, regardless of species, seems perfectly content to wait for the other to make the first move toward the colpa.

Here is a little test-there are 6 species of shorebird in the photo-can you identify them? By collecting data and following individual birds it is possible to provide data to both governments and environmental groups to help protect the habitat both here and overseas into the future.

Golf courses, swimming pools, restaurants and a diverse collection of accommodation options. On the grounds, Punta Cana has preserved a 1,500 acre Ecological Park that is an excellent place to view the local endemic bird species and enjoy nature. This is not a birding lodge. Far from it. Punta Cana even manages the airport!

Collectively, they’re referred to as the Herring Gull complex. Among these white-headed/dark-winged gulls formerly lumped into the genus Larus , there were 18+ recognized species the last time I checked, sharing similarities that make telling them apart for the amateur birdwatcher very difficult. This wiki looks good too.]

If the whole thing passed you by then Mother Jones did a good piece on why zoos sometimes have to kill individuals for the good of the species. There was a story this morning that did make my blood freeze, and it had nothing to do with four big cats biting the bullet. Like much of conservation, its the best of a bunch of bad options.

The lack of people does not mean we have any less extinct or threatened bird species than other countries. Even the first explorers to Australia documented there was a risk of extinction of birds and animals into the future and subsequently decided to collect as many specimens as possible!
