A grounded flock of Black Vultures ducked as the lapwings buzzed close overhead trying to drive them off. Then I saw the reason for their protective behaviour. At the same time, the chicks were able to go as they pleased and the adults appeared content to allow them to roam quite a distance from their immediate protection.

These waste water treatment plants offer the perfect environment to bird-life due to the fact that water is constantly available and is fenced for further protection from feral animals.

People, they argue, are more important than bugs, and besides, the money will help pay to protect other conservation land. A duck farmed in a factory is part of nature as much as one that grew up on a pond, even if the particulars of its ecosystem are different. By contrast, not all extractive use is bad.

The sitting duck of a crow was surrounded by a group of teenagers who were not eco-friendly. He was placed in a wildlife center in Red Lodge, Montana, where he can live out his life, safe and protected, throwing the occasional apple, with other grounded crows for company. The high school lunch bell rang, and soon, so did Russell’s.

Ducks are easier prey for the Eagle. The adults move to flocks, there may be two or three of them, that hang out mostly far off shore in the larger part of the lake, abandoning their embayments or otherwise protected areas. And, every now and then one of the Loons disappears too. More alarm calling. Then one day they are gone.

As with Chinese male humans, having your own building is still vital to raising young. One of the established ways to evaluate self-cognition in animals (including humans) is the mirror test.
