This means that any comparison of results obtained in different years may not reflect the success of a birder’s endeavours but rather the variation of the overall birding conditions of the respective years, which are outside the sphere of anyone’s influence.

Also, in relatively natural, or wild, lands in much of the US the feral cat population will be limited by a healthy wild predator population.

Sure, they’re beautiful and powerful, a reminder of the feral freedom of the skies. I haven’t seen the whole video yet, but it looks promising. The Review: I confess, I don’t always love hawks. They’re also confoundingly difficult to identify, the eternal inscrutable spot in the distance.

Sure, they’re beautiful and powerful, a reminder of the feral freedom of the skies. I confess, I don’t always love hawks. They’re also confoundingly difficult to identify, the eternal inscrutable spot in the distance. This is probably why I number so many hawk books in my collection.
