10,000 Birds

On Tuesday, my wife and I travelled 1750 miles (2,800 km) from our home of thirty years in Morelia, to the region in which I grew up, the San Mateo Peninsula of the San Francisco Bay Area in California. This is not a birding trip; we are trying to deal with many logistical life issues that have accumulated over the past several years. But will I bird?

Humane rat control?

Reddit Animals

Hello, We have some big fat rats in our backyard. They seem to know each other. They hang out in one of our trees. Ive seen 3. I think they might be taking shelter in an old decrepit shed. Should I be worried about this if they are in the back yard and not the house? At what point do I need to develop a pest control plan? There is no sign of them in the house.

Cyprus Delights – Part II

10,000 Birds

One thing that I have learned from repeated spring visits to Cyprus is that no two years are ever the same. This April conditions were excellent for migrant waders, so there were plenty to see. The island’s largest salt lake, Akrotiri, is not a great draw for waders, but the range of large, shallow saline pools on its east side, along Lady’s Mile, were in perfect condition to attract a wide variety of species.

Can adult birds imprint on humans?

Reddit Animals

I just saw a youtube short of someone who took a wet crow into their home and dried it and fed it and the comments praising the person to the skies sort of rubbed me the wrong way, but I don't want to have any opinion based on lack of knowledge. I know baby birds can imprint easily, and that it is irreversible. But can adult birds also imprint? I tried googling this but I didn't find any adult-specific results.
