4 The Love Of Animals

Does your dog love traveling in the car with you? Baby sure does, sometimes she even likes to pretend that she is driving, which is why we were excited to create this doggy drivers license for her using the fun Subaru app on Facebook ! While taking your dog with you in the car can be a lot of fun, there are some things to consider. Safety should always come first, make sure your pup has their own “booster seat” or seat belt.

Waxwings and their relatives are a small, interesting group of songbirds that have seen some interesting taxonomic changes in the last few years. This group — dubbed the bombycillids , from the waxwing genus and family name — appears to fall near kinglets and a large group containing thrushes and muscicapids (Old World flycatchers and chats) in the passerine tree.

The number of people who hunt waterfowl in the US has declined since the mid 1990s. This has resulted in a reduction of the number of duck stamps sold. Sales of duck stamps have funded the preservation of wetlands and other wildlife habitat, which in turn has supported an increase in waterfowl populations. This has benefited both the waterfowl hunters and everyone else who likes ducks and their kin.

“The young ones are incredibly curious and playful,” says Monte Merrick, the co-Director of Bird Ally X in Arcata, California, which is almost to the border of Oregon. “The adults don’t say much – minor grunts, mostly bill clacking. But the babies bark like dogs and moo like cows.”. He’s talking about Brown Pelicans. “We always wear safety goggles,” he says.

Birding tends to be an extremely freeform activity, demanding only we pursue our bliss to the best of our means and ability. But, every so often, the call is sounded, and the sharpest eyes and ears on the planet are pressed into service. This, the weekend of the Great Backyard Bird Count , is one of those times: tell us how you contributed to citizen science.

Parking lot gulls are an easy target for photography. They are confiding, confident verging on cocky, and content to do their thing while you take their picture. And when what you are taking their picture with is a digiscoping rig you can get some pretty interesting pictures. These Ring-billed Gulls were drinking and occasionally taking a half-hearted bath in a big puddle.

People get frustrated with European Starlings in North America, they are non native and they can snarf up food quickly at the feeders. One of the ways to deal with them is to offer feed mixes that only have hard shell seeds like black oil sunflower seeds or safflower. Suet can be a challenge though because it’s hard to find a flavor that starlings won’t eat.

I was rather surprised to find that the 10,000 Clicks section of 10,000 Birds does not have a Hairy Woodpecker gallery. Surely this is a terrible oversight on someone’s part and may I say that the Downy Woodpecker post is also up for grabs. Hairy Woodpecker. I got lucky in Central Park at the end of January as this individual Hairy Woodpecker crossed the path in front of me and settled on a rotted stump close by.

These goats really do sound like humans! We had an especially big laugh at the last goat of the bunch. Enjoy!

Back in December when my family and I were in southern California we planned a day trip out to Crystal Cove State Park in southern Orange County. After all, what better way to take advantage of southern California’s sunshine than to spend some time on the beach? And Crystal Cove is the perfect beach for a birder with family in tow. Rocky shoreline and sandy beaches sit side-by-side and at low tide there are tidal pools in which you can look for Hermit Crabs and other interesting organisms

Growing up in Britain gives Pied Avocets something of a air of royalty, birdwise. They are, after all, the symbol of the RSPB, a rare and valuable bird, something to be cherished and protected. The first one I ever saw didn’t live up to this expectation, however. Instead of some attractive East Anglian fen the first Pied Avocet I ever saw was in a ditch in India.

I’m glad that February is the shortest month because it also ranks as one of the most boring, at least from a phenological perspective. Very little of natural history interest happened this month, unless you count meteors exploding over Russian skies. On my side of the planet, we’re just counting cardinals… boring! Speaking of boring, I’m bringing my kids down to NYC this weekend, where we will studiously avoid birding because all the fun birds fled after Winter Storm Nem

In the realm of waterfowl, not all that are manky are malign. Many domestic Mallards do indeed offend the eye with their mutant messiness, though Muscovies are even worse in that regard. Some domestic duck breeds, however, present new forms of beauty unseen in their wild counterparts. This sexy Saxony hen from the Grantham Canal at West Bridgford, Nottingham, generously shared by Mike Fuller, presents a perfectly pulchritudinous and pale plumage any birdwatcher should be pleased to behold.

Thanks to the proliferation of digital photography and propagation of social media sharing, those of us interested in birds are awash in a daily deluge of amazing bird photos. But how many interesting illustrations of birds do you see each day? He might not stick strictly to a fresh sketch every single day, but Ulf Andersson, also known as ArtMagenta, offers really elegant avian illustrations on a regular basis at his Bird of the Day blog.

My feature picture shows the view from the lookout at Cossack that looks across to Jarman Island and the lighthouse is a significant historic landmark. It was in use from 1888 until 1985 and has been lovingly restored. The lighthouse construction is pre-fabricated cast iron and was shipped from England, along with the lens. Cossack was one of the earliest ports in the north of Western Australia and the first settlers arrived in 1863.

The League of Conservation Voters released its scorecard on the members of the 112th Congress of the United States and it is a very depressing read. (Link is a PDF.) What is really stark is how horrific Republicans continue to be on the environment. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, supporting Republican candidates means that you are supporting people who apparently hate birds, the environment, and nature.
