Mostly the ducks were Red-breasted Merganser and Greater Scaup , the two most prevalent species on the pond, but there were a few other birds mixed in as well. Either way, it was a heck of a sight and another example of why Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge is the best place in New York City to see amazing wildlife spectacles.

I actually ended up seeing two examples of Sayornis phoebe at Alley Pond Park in Queens yesterday and even got a kind of lousy) shot of one to share with you! And, if you don’t get Eastern Phoebe or if they winter, what species do you use as your sure sign that spring has arrived? Thanks for visiting!

These are good examples of Harper’s art and text. I reduced all lines and edges to straights and curves (that’s all there are) and began to render with mechanical drawing instruments¬ ruling pen, compass, French curve, T-square, triangle. The chapter also gives hope. Remember, these “vanishing birds” were selected in 1957.

The field site I am assigned to is located in one of the most diverse ecosystems in the world and home to a particularly rich avifauna that numbers well over 500 species. Hundreds of riotously colored birds representing 14 species of macaws and parrots flock and frolic together in less than fifty meters of forest canopy.

4 The Love Of Animals

Many animals also display wide-ranging emotions, including joy, happiness, empathy, compassion, grief, and even resentment and embarrassment. For example, they make three different types of tools from the long, barbed leaves of the screw pine tree. Animal Rescues: Feeling Compassion for Those in Need.

As part of the Wildlife Conservation Society Birds of Brazil giveaway we asked readers of 10,000 Birds to name the bird in Brazil that they would like to see more than any other species. What follows are the responses that readers offered, a veritable aviary of sought after species. It is a really neat bird that I have not seen before.

Even if you don’t live in the summer range of a particular species, you may have opportunities to observe it while it passes through, especailly if you live in an active flyway, like I happen to. It turns out that humans without compasses make no use of magnetic fields.) The birds do the flying for you. Well, not really.

Hunting sandhill cranes in Kentucky is a bad idea from a public relations standpoint, considering the growing cadre of birders and nature enthusiasts for whom cranes are a touchstone species. Initiating a hunting season on a large, charismatic species like a crane is no way to resuscitate hunting.

One such controversial bird is the Veraguan Mango , a small hummingbird species that was, until very recently, believed to be a Panamanian endemic. Veraguan Mango by Carlos Bethancourt Although the Neotropical region supports fewer bird families than Africa, there are considerably more bird species here than anywhere else on earth.

It may be as sick as deliberately targeting an endangered species for death. Birders know that the light’s not always perfect or even particularly good when you’re trying to tell one species from another. Ask the proposing states to follow Nebraska’s example, to let them, and their big, desperately imperiled white cousins, alone.

Here are a few examples from my picture archives: Black-headed Gulls – or Black-haired Gulls? And I haven’t even started to write about ageing them … What are your experiences, and what is the colour of the claws on your local gull species? As a matter of fact, all the gulls I checked had black nails. All of them?

But off the top of my head, I cannot think of any examples of non-exploratory people who are open to the unexpected at home. Researchers comparing these traits across groups of closely related species – parrots, tits, sparrows, darwins finches etc – find no general correlation between neophobia and exploration.

Orlando is so rich in roadside and overhead birds that I kept a list of species seen from the car which ran to 30+ on the first morning and included a Bald Eagle nonchalantly sitting on a street lamp by a Target store. Below for example is the Hippogriff , but which ornithological influences were used to portray such a beast?
