Thus, the cattle we raise for meat and dairy are sometimes called Bos taurus while the extinct wild form is always called Bos primigenius. Early research suggested that “Fragmented distributions and population bottlenecks due to human activities appear to have increased genetic differentiation among populations” (Leberg 1991).

Research indicates that this decline can be tempered by management of cattle grazing practices, preventing growth of shrubs and trees and the invasion of non-native plants. Right past the Pipit, on a rise, was a Grasshopper Sparrow singing on a Purple Coneflower, a flower we surprisingly saw everywhere. (I back to the birds.

So right now I’m feeling pretty good about Eurasian Collared-doves. We remember starlings not skylarks, House Sparrows not Eurasian Tree Sparrows , Cattle Egrets not… well, whatever we’ve forgotten because it didn’t do as well as the Cattle Egrets. Wicked, right? Get yours today! Hat-tip to Stella.

UNLESS that is you get yourself down to the internationally-renowned Tambopata Research Centre in southern Peru where literally hundreds of macaws (and other parrots) congregate around a 50 meter high clay bank. That’s right – birds eating clay. Chestnut-fronted Macaws Ara severa.

The University of Puerto Rico, an "1862" LGU founded in 1900, operates a slaughter facility killing small ruminants -- typically goats and sheep, cattle being large ruminants. There's an Archive icon for possible later listening. Ruminants are four-footed, hoofed, even-toed, cud-chewing mammals with four stomachs.

In Europe, most of them winter south of the Sahara but an increasing share winters north of it – which sounds like an interesting research topic for people who, ahem, find such topics interesting. It is rumored that one of the researchers later became a software developer. No need to remind us all the time.

Consumers are right to be wary; rBGH threatens to undermine the safety of nature’s most perfect food. June 29, 2007 The writers are cattle ranchers. There is as yet no medical research showing the cost of several extra years of hormones flooding the system. Dr. Miller’s argument distracts from the real concerns over rBGH.

In other words, if you look up Cattle Egret, you will find a reference to its species account and its inclusion in the box on Identification of White Egrets. It does not have the scientific references or research knowledge offered by some other bird handbooks, and it doesn’t pretend to be that type of book.

One gate had Glossy Ibis, Pied Heron, White-faced Heron, Little Pied Cormorant and Cattle Egrets all roosting together. Closer to the research centre we discovered a flock of over 150 Brolga walking through one of the recently harvested crops. Crocodiles may inhabit the irrigation channels and swimming is not advised!

If beef cattle who could not feel pain were developed, then it would be permissible to eat them. KBJ: Martin seems to think that people who abstain from meat on the ground that meat-eating causes pain would not eat “beef cattle” even if they could not feel pain. Scientific research and expertise are needed here. KBJ: Ditto.

Their goal is simple yet lofty: “We hope these redescriptions will arouse some interest in the chewing lice of shorebirds among researchers working with lapwings” As I mentioned in one of my posts this spring, for me the personal start of the migration season is when I see my first male colorful flycatcher.

I hope he is right. Unfortunately, the house this nest is built on is about to be destroyed – no tenant rights for birds in China, I am afraid. of researchers looking for chemical contaminants in the environment.

Interestingly for me, the research paper calls throwing out the eggs infanticide, which makes me feel a bit queasy as this might potentially be on the wrong side of the Roe vs. Wade (or “Right vs. Wrong”, as The Onion calls it) debate. The point is that I am sure this jacana would agree. but they do.
