While one farmer grows hops, another raises grain destined for the malthouse. Of course, habitats of all sorts attract wildlife. While the city brewer might contend with urban vermin like rats and pigeons, the country vintner generally enjoys the company of more charismatic wildlife.

We see indirect but very compelling evidence of this when insurance companies, government agencies, and other big players act as though they considered climate change to be real. Also, these human-occupied area are probably full of toxins and other impediments to normal use by wildlife. I asked Douglas B. … what would it be?

While it makes a passing attempt to say not all scientists are like these monstrous fiends (or truly arrogant, as she dubs them) it mostly focuses on these monstrous fiends simply to prove that scientists in wildlife conservation can be monstrous fiends, particularly compared to the environment-loving oil industry of Alaska. Best guess?

From Hiro, we learn how Northern Pygmy Owls are “rule breakers,” not incubating eggs till all are hatched and then raising owlets that mature at the same rate even though the eggs were laid asynchronously (as most owl eggs are).

I couldn’t help thinking this–me, the anthropomorphism hater– as I watched a pair of Philippine Eagles tend their nest, raise a chick, and tear monkeys apart in Bird of Prey: The Story of the Rarest Eagle on Earth , a well-crafted, beautifully filmed documentary with a mission. The Philippine Eagle has a kind face.

About a month before departure my clients asked me if we were going to the same sites in Ghana as the offerings of another, rather upmarket, birding tour company.

Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Company, Sept. The writing style is both informative and absorbing.
