Supporting local conservation organizations and participating in citizen science initiatives allows us to contribute to the protection of Shanghai’s bird species and their habitats. But anyway, my main point of contention is the style, not the facts. Who needs biodiversity when you can have another shopping mall, right?

The Karlson-Rosselet BBI approach is theoretically based on hemispheric brain differences, the idea that the left side of our brain processes stimuli analytically in a linear manner and the right side of our brain processes what we see and hear creatively and holistically. There Is No Left Brain/Right Brain Divide by Stephen M.

Especially happily that the meeting was held at the Palmer House Hilton, right near my office, so that I was able to spend my morning volunteering and still put in a full day at work.). Months prior, a call for volunteers had gone out to local birders, and I happily signed up for a few shifts.

southern Australia’s cool winter weather and wonderful birds sound mighty appealing right now and 2. I, like many of you, eagerly await the release of the AOU 52nd checklist supplement, even though these days, the contents are already pretty well known in advance.

That’s right – birds eating clay. Each bird, regardless of species, seems perfectly content to wait for the other to make the first move toward the colpa. Wicked, right? The cacophony and color of this much birdlife socializing at once overwhelms the senses and boggles the mind of even the most intrepid birder.

As if eBird, the marvelous citizen science produced database of bird sightings, wasn’t awesome enough, you can now have an eBird profile that is viewable by other eBird users. It’s a simple but amazing idea. We birders are curious after all, and learning a little bit about other birders is a great way to keep birders on eBird.

There are also two pages illustrating the “Holistic Approach,” silhouettes of each species (Western birds on the left, Eastern birds on the right), that allow for comparison of structure, size, and shape. This is a book well worth owning for both its excellence of content and uniqueness.

What is amazing is that each of these three books is very different in content and tone. This bit of science is a nice final counterpoint to an account that has emphasized art, history, and literature. He effectively brings his point across by presenting facts and images and a little bit of hard science. What a horror!

DNA evidence then indicated that they are an ancient group mostly closely related to the bizarre and wildly different rockfowls and they were therefore contentiously placed in the Picathartes family, before finally finding a contented home in their own family, Chaetopidae.

Howell, Ian Lewington, and Will Russell, right in front of me. He has led birding tours for many years and is a research associate at Point Blue Conservation Science. I have discovered one error: the table of contents doesn’t list species accounts past “Raptors and Owls.” ” It’s odd.

I am also writing it on the tails of an excellent review by Corey who, although he termed his post a collection of “impressions,” really did nail down the great content of The Sibley Guide to Birds, Second Edition , by David Allen Sibley, as well as the minor items that need to be improved. But, always to the right.

Describing gull plumage is a combination of science, graphic art, and visual metaphor. The Table of Contents is the best starting point for finding the gull you want, and with 61 species accounts, listed with common and scientific name, it’s pretty easy to scan and pinpoint a name. Browsing through this book is tough.
