It is also fascinating to see how similar Old World trogons look to their New World relatives, right down to the same flamboyant color patterns. It has an odd call that sounds vaguely like a barking dog, which I cannot imitate.

Pepper, the stolen dog who changed American science ," thankfully wasn't called Pepper, the stolen dog that changed American science," so that was an encouraging sign. I look forward, with a tad of trepidation, to the part about Pepper being a turning point in science. Pepper was a beloved family pet. Stay tuned.

Though it was well-known to the Native American populations that shared its space, the black-footed ferret was overlooked by Lewis and Clark and all subsequent Euro-American expeditions, remaining officially unknown to science until John James Audubon, his sons, and the Rev. Second chances like this are the stuff of legend.

E.g. I remember trying to enter my local scrubland once, just across the car park behind the last apartment building and there, awaiting me, was a territorial pack of stray dogs barking at an intruder – me. Not sure that I impressed them, I chose to bluff them and looked left and right for a suitable tree branch to pick.

For those who didn't read the five-part Slate series " Pepper, the stolen dog who changed American science " by Daniel Engber , I recommend it for the history, but also for the misconceptions and assumptions that you might want to discuss on the Facebook discussion about the series.

My dogs eat vegan dog food. However, there's a context here, and that context is that the message is coming from an organization that focuses on the science angle of our use of sentient nonhumans (i.e., They don't have collars made from animals. But they also haven't made a moral choice to not use animals.

You’d think, then, that applying science to philosophy by studying the evolutionary underpinnings of thought and behavior across species would be right up my alley. Right away, we have a definition problem — those who hold to any kind of mind-body dualism are unlikely to be swayed by the ideas in this book.

Eight years later, Christian Cooper birding Central Park became a very different kind of media image: the black man falsely accused by a white woman of threatening her life after asking her to leash her dog in the Ramble, an area where unleashed dogs are not allowed. It was the same day George Floyd was killed. I remember that day.

Here are three paragraphs from a recent essay by Roger Scruton : As I suggested, science provides authority for this weird morality only when clothed in moral doctrine. The sleight of hand that gave us the “selfish” gene gives us the rights of baboons. It is not that they do no wrong, but that “right” and “wrong” here make no sense.

I had a strong interest in science because of its reliance on reason and skepticism, which struck me as very good tools for truth seeking (which is ultimately what I am interested in). When I came across Philosophy, I immediately saw that it was the tree from which the branch of science had grown.

The single greatest challenge facing any book of science writing is balance. Otherwise, there would be no science writing, everyone would just go straight to the journals. They are right, I think, in saying it is perverse that we can kill crows but not coddle them. Pinyon Jay by Dave Menke of the US FWS.

And if you look into it enough, it presents a classic case where science can fail us. I believe in science. Science is based on logic and evidence, which I think is a very respectable way to look at the world. But what many people fail to realize, and too often scientists themselves, is that science is elastic.

Greater Double-collared Sunbird (right) is less common and more localized than its smaller cousin. Here he kept up his birding and one of his local patches was an urban field hockey ground where he used to walk his dogs on a regular basis. It is most reliably found in mid-elevation ranges, especially where Aloes are flowering.

Phenology is a vital science. As it turns out, a useful tool for the amateur phenologist is a dog. Dogs LOVE routine, they love walking the same routes and looking at the same vistas and sniffing the same trees day after day at the same time without fail (if you fail, they will let you know.) But good phenology is hard.
