This time it's Little Black: Stay tuned also for photos of the eagle's nest down the block that has a baby! I hadn't realized how enormous eagles are; they dwarf hawks. I guess I'm about to learn more than I ever thought I'd know about eagles. Tags: Activism Current Affairs Ethics. Or at least the hawks here.

And quite frankly, I’ve seen some of the most dedicated of ethical birders get excited at finding an owl and get closer than they should. With casual bird watchers out numbering hardcore bird watchers, people with a camera and an interest in wildlife are not going to have all the facts about wildlife before they go out.

Many essays, especially in the later sections, end with a question, hopefully getting us to think more about questions of ethics, conservation, and the puzzles posed by nature.

In Costa Rica, this could also involve seeing all of the antpittas (including the cute Ochre-breasted Antpitta shown in the feature image) or even finding a mega Solitary Eagle. At its core, the kung-fu birding approach is also ethical in every way. After all, each of those endeavors requires a heck of a lot of time and effort.

There are sections, ranging in length from a paragraph to two pages, on taxonomy, bird names, habitat, ranges, migration, courtship and breeding, flight, bird intelligence, bird communication; identification; finding birds, life lists; optics and photography; ethics; bird feeding; and conservation. These are all informative and current.

Besides that, I teach environmental ethics courses for biology students at the university and currently I am working also on an exciting project of producing a simulation game called ecosim (primarily an education tool for students) in which the player has to fulfil conservation tasks in an interactive ecosystem (e.g.

It is still early spring and the leaves are small, not fully developed, so we manage to see them too, and we did it very ethically, without provoking a response by the mobile phone. Still, a few metres further, one, then another male sings in a low, dancing display flight (barely two-three metres above the bushes).

Here are the basic contents for each state guide: a flexibound cover, the ABA Mission Statement and Code of Ethics (I like that this is the first thing you see when you start perusing the books), Foreward by Jeffrey A.

Squinting against the sudden brightness Mark could now see that he was in a small room, and that his wrists and ankles were chained to the walls leaving him spread-eagle. This has to violate the ABA code of ethics!” A single bare light bulb burst into light over his head. “Hello?” There was no reply. Section two.

It required a bit of an ethical adjustment. The aim of the game was to band raptors, and specifically to band Golden Eagles. To gather vital information that could make the difference between a thriving Golden Eagle population and a declining one. Enough to draw the attention of a predator. And Science requires Sacrifice.

Nineteen days later we had racked up an amazing list of 436 species, including some of Africa’s least known birds such as Congo Serpent Eagle , Yellow-footed Honeyguide , Tessmann’s Flycatcher , Yellow-bearded Greenbul , Black-collared Lovebird and much besides. Another of Ghana’s forest gems, the seldom encountered Fraser’s Eagle Owl. .
