Cats Course Experience Experiments 
10,000 Birds

Many a birder with years of experience in the Neotropical region has never ever seen or heard an RVG. Stealthy, quiet, sneaky and smart, the forest roadrunner is like a feathered cat. Speaking of cats, I am reminded of an experience a co-worker of mine had while surveying birds years ago in Washington state.

And of course, there is the expected paper characterizing the mitochondrial genome of Collared Finchbill. Fortunately for them (though less so for the cuckoo), in one experiment they ejected 100% of all cuckoo model eggs. My mother is dead already, but she might have pointed out that she told me so.

It was more than 50 years before I was to see another lynx, not in the Doñana, but in the Sierra Morena mountains to the north, which is now the best place to see these handsome cats in the wild.

After securing our passage, I patiently waited for this once-in-a-lifetime experience to a place we have never been and lacked any knowledge of, we were in for a complete surprise.

Can you remember any birding movie before Schrodinger’s Cat? What made the story better (and a worse experience for him) was the fact that the cops had seen the Dogs of War. Finally, the Schrodinger’s Cat is, of course, The Big Year (2011). Probably not. And they knew that “birders” were highly suspicious characters.

An estimated one billion birds collide with glass each year in the United States* and most of them die; window collisions are considered the second highest cause of death of birds after cats (putting aside the big overall causes, like habitat loss and climate change).* There are far fewer photographs of dead birds than I expected.
