This example is important because it appears that the protector species, not just the protected species, gains a benefit, the latter having been documented many times before. Previous research has shown that wading bird nesting colonies could provide substantial food for alligators in the form of dropped chicks.

Birders who submit their checklists to Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s eBird likely know that their data may be used to conduct scientific research on subjects such as migration, changes in range, or assessment of populations. I emailed the authors and asked about their research and their use of eBird data.

My research in the Congo supports this idea. I spent a lot of time with Efe Pygmy hunters in the deep forest, and I spent a certain amount of time either entirely alone or with only one other researcher, this or that American. Part of that research was to document human avoidance by ground mammals, and that was stark and apparent.

The New Jersey Bird Records Committee (NJBRC) documents 465 species of natural origin. The Birds of New Jersey: Status and Distribution lacks the statistical density of the 1999 volume, but, at 308-pages and in paperback, it is portable. It’s a great reference book, but, I confess, a book I seldom use. Should you buy this book?

It is a book that embraces identification and analysis of avian rarities and vagrancy patterns throughout the United States and Canada with an enthusiasm and devotion to statistical, geographic, and ornithological detail that will both delight and challenge birders. First, what is a rare bird? What does it mean in the larger sense?

A great-great nephew of Senator McLean, Greeley spent three years researching and writing this book. Greeley has a historian’s instincts, perhaps stemming from his training as an archivist (though he ended up, he says vaguely, in business and market research).
