Yes, in the face of all the human tragedy the Cold War caused it may seem a miniscule aspect, but to a young boy who was passionate about birds, it wasn’t. This made me truly sad. This was where the Cold War hit home, more direct and unjust than all the nuclear threats in the world could ever do. They were friends now.

For some reason that I do not quite understand myself – given that I really rather dislike children and am not too positive about the rest of humanity either – I recently put up a little display of bird photos inside my Shanghai compound, which I share (as the only foreigner) with about 1700 Chinese.

In the majority of cases, it is humans who are to blame for the plunging numbers of animals, and Corwin is very clear about the extent to which we have destroyed the world around us. For only $450,000, we could buy almost all of the habitat neded to protect Ecuador's remaining frogs.

I was especially interested in “To Hide From God,” the chapter on songbird slaughter and protection in Cyprus. This is big, global-level stuff with amazing findings but worrisome data. Weidensaul, master nature writer, understands that the best way to communicate “big stuff” (my words, not his!)

Maybe those should be protected too? Given that the Black Kite is politely described as an “opportunistic hunter” – which includes the fact that they are more likely to scavenge than most other raptors – the name choice of the company protecting the world’s cyber ecosystem is a bit weird.

The adults presumably have already learned that humans are not usually good news even if not named Donald Trump. The White-shouldered Starling is not very common in Shanghai or even in China in general, despite its species name sinensis. on September 01, so these concerns ended very early in the month.

Of course, the same applies to pizza services for humans. He also served with the 13th Light Dragoons, fighting with them at Waterloo (though he can only have been about 18 at that point – I guess child protection laws were somewhat lax at that time). The species name athertoni is derived from Lt. Reluctantly back to birds.

I was thinking of inventing a background story about a Chinese poet mentioning starlings (and other bird species) in one of his poems, and a rich Chinese fan of these poems pursuing the ambition of introducing all bird species mentioned therein to China, explaining the occasional occurrence of the starling in Shanghai.

Similar to the situation among humans, among Grey-capped Greenfinches , “high-quality individuals prefer to mate with each other” ( source ). The Light-vented Bulbul used to be restricted to Southern China but has expanded its range in the past few decades. Eurasian Bitterns similarly try to stay out of sight.

An individually marked Great Knot was seen in Roebuck Bay and then observed on the mudflats at Yalu Jiang Nature Reserve, China, 137 hours later! We relocated it to a native tree, so it was better camouflaged and protected. It was observed sleeping after the 6400kms trip. Get yours today! However, I must critizise this post of yours.

Anyway, one of the babblers of Sepilok is the Bornean Black-capped Babbler – the result of a split of the Black-capped Babbler (well, at least from a human perspective – the birds themselves are probably quite nonchalant about it). Fortunately, barbets are fairly common in Yunnan, China, so it was not a particular disappointment.

He clearly thinks that it is wrong to cause animals to suffer unnecessarily, but he appears to be somewhat ambivalent about killing animals (provided the killing is carried out humanely). I suspect that underlying his thinking here is a common rationalization that many of my students initially embrace. Running time: 12 Minutes.

For example, without this blog, would you know that the Barn Swallows of Nanhui are now having their own housing boom, ignorant of the overinvestment that has characterized China’s construction industry? As with Chinese male humans, having your own building is still vital to raising young. Humanity is not very human.
