10,000 Birds

SEPTEMBER 16, 2014

However, in this post, I’d like to lay out the basic numbers as we pretend to know them about overall bird mortality, human related causes of mortality, and somewhere in there I’ll note that the number of birds that are killed by windmills is so small that it says “zero” on my pie chart. So keep that in mind.

How far is the closest human settlement? Well yes, but all of the planet’s tall mountains are relatively close to some form of human habitation. Some rain-forests could rightfully be termed remote but again, human habitation is actually relatively closer than what one might think. Gough Bunting by Ross Wanless.

Last week I introduced you to a section of the Great Southern Rail Trail in Victoria from Foster to Fish Creek. I also often observe a pair of Wedge-tailed Eagles towards the hills on my left as I follow this section of trail. There is a family of feral foxes that I often encounter near Bennison Creek.
