In spite of this New Zealand does have an iconic family of birds that has served as an emblem for the country for over a century, the kiwi. They are commonest where they are intensively protected and managed, but these places are often remote and hard to visit. They would all be wrong, as New Zealand has no official National Bird.

The book’s organization reflects the authors’ goal of making this a guide accessible to birders of all levels and skill.

of Fish and Wildlife Commissioner Jon Gassett has indicated that if enough people write in protest, the proposed hunting season–due to start this December– will be reconsidered. Hunting is on a steady downturn, and nonconsumptive wildlife pursuits are on a tremendous upswing. We can fight them back in Kentucky, too.

This story comes from Emily Johnson, who is a sub-permittee for a licensed wildlife rehabilitator in Helena, Montana. The sitting duck of a crow was surrounded by a group of teenagers who were not eco-friendly. A short time later Russell rolled away, safe – if not sound – in the family’s station wagon.

It is a well-named duck, as the male does have a red head. Of course, other ducks have red heads too but for whatever reason Aythya americana got the name and now has to live up to it with unlimited sex appeal. Save that for the duck butts.

It turns out that duck nests tend to be so similar that you need to identify the feathers lining the nest, usually the breast feathers of the parent, to identify the user. Each family section begins with a Group Account, an overall section giving the number of species in the family and nesting commonalities and differences.

I strongly suspect that the rate of attrition on this Loon family is inversely proportionate to the abundance of ducklings in the bay. Ducks are easier prey for the Eagle. Sometimes that one reaches adulthood, but just as often it disappears. And, every now and then one of the Loons disappears too. Then one day they are gone.
