'It’s August, and first on the menu is: Fried Rehabber. Summer is high season. The general public is out and about, birds and animals are raising their young, and human/wildlife interaction is at its peak. If you are a rehabber, this means your phone never stops ringing, your emergency services are in constant demand, and your stress level is off the charts.

'Orlando, Fla. (August 6, 2013) – For the first time in SeaWorld’s history, a Cesarean section has been performed on a shark. A team of shark experts and veterinarians performed the groundbreaking procedure on a whitetip reef shark at Discovery Cove, SeaWorld’s sister park, in Orlando on July 18, 2013. Six months into the shark’s gestation, the park’s animal team noticed a complication with her pregnancy and determined an emergency C-section was necessary.

'After several game drives, once again we are at the front gate of the Gir National Park in the state of Gujarat. This park protects the largest remaining tract of dry deciduous forest in the west of India, offering visitors 37 species of reptiles, 38 species of mammals and, not to be forgotten – almost 300 bird species. Still, for the majority of visitors, there seem to be only one species – some of the last of the 400 remaining Asiatic Lions ( Panthera leo persica ).

'Let’s talk about poop for a second. We all know that we need to scoop the poop, but what then? What if there isn’t a trash bin nearby? What do you do with the poop bag? This was exactly the problem that Nancey Herrmann set out to solve when she created the Do-G-Bag ! No more keeping that poop in your hand, just put it in the handy bag until you can dispose of it properly.

'I am fluent in bird. I can tell what bird territory boundaries are in my neighborhood or when an American Robin has spotted a bird eating hawk and when House Sparrows are agitated by Blue Jays are raiding their nests. I can even tell when a bird needs serious help. In June, storms hit Minneapolis very hard. Some friends had come by to help me lift my window unit air conditioner into my window.

'Because I’m likely the only 10,000 Birds beat writer who can go on a drive and photograph Narwhal, I thought I’d put up a quick post with some photos of birds and Narwhal from Sunday evening. Its okay to gloat, right? These were all taken from shore as the Narwhal fed on schooling Arctic Cod in Victor Bay. Dive! A Thayer’s Gull plunges for some of the Arctic Cod the Narwhal are feeding on.

'I fully realize that my last post was not a bird post in the strictest sense. As a matter of fact, one might surmise that I have merely instrumantalized a few images of a wet magpie to let loose a relentless rant about our weather. Therefore I have decided to right my wrong by providing first and foremost some avian eye candy, and not talk. Or else I’d be tempted to mention that the cold rainy weather has given way to a massive heat wave and drought, or that the summer doldrums this year

'Another long, lovely summer weekend has slipped into history. Midsummer will be giving way any moment to late summer. I know that families in the United States are already fretting/anticipating September’s arrival. How do you feel about it? Corey’s Best Bird of the Weekend was a Least Tern that flew over his apartment, only the second he ever saw from the comfort of his balcony.

'The beautiful landscape that would one day become Pilanesberg National Park , was formed when a volcano collapsed in on itself, leaving concentric rings of mountains. Nowadays, a dam lies at the centre of the range, overlooked by a charming hide (Google Earth ref; 25 15 58.27S 27 7 5.14E). The hide on Mankwe Dam is a must-see for any visitor to Pilanesberg NP and kept me enthralled for hours this morning.

'Wow, wouldn’t you love to go camping in Windjana Gorge like Clare Morton did? The second weekend of August is marked, at least in these parts, by hysteria. Birds are gorging themselves for their imminent odysseys, while humans frantically expend themselves in the drive for as much summer fun as possible before Labor Day. This sometimes involves gorging themselves as well.

'The theme for the next I and the Bird will be GREBES! Those funny-footed, duck-looking-but-actually-more-closely-related-to-flamingo, diving birds with the fantastic displays and the funky feathers. Send you grebe photos and, especially, your blog posts to naswick AT gmail.com and put IATB in the subject line. The deadline is the end of the day 8/13 for publication 8/15.

'Yellow Warbler was my 65th species of bird in Queens. Luckily for you, I still haven’t seen my 300th species in Queens. That means that you can still head over to the post that announced the contest to win The Warbler Guide , make a guess, and potentially win a great book! You can also make fun of me if you want.

'On our recent birding and camping trip we decided to head to Windjana Gorge due to the fact that it had been a long time since we paid a visit to this spectacular gorge. You can only access the gorge during our sunny and warm winter months and the road is well used and very corrugated. The gorge is part of the Napier Range and the rocks are part of the ancient Devonian reef system.

'As of the beginning of last month, I am no longer a resident of Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Having lived in Chapel Hill for nearly 10 years and been an active birder in the area for nearly that long, this is something of a significant change. My county lists, long maintained with the care of a master gardener, are now more or less null and void. Though I’ve only moved 40 or so miles away, the odds of picking up anything new besides the odd state-level rarity I feel up for traveling to is

'In his comment in last week’s post on the Marlborough Sounds , Beat writer Jochen described the New Zealand Fantail as one of the best birds in the world. It’s a sentiment I can get behind. Also known by its Maori name of P?wakawaka, the New Zealand Fantail is a delightful inhabitant of New Zealand, and one of my favourite local birds.

'Not quite as fancy as the satellite tracker that Bird No. 112 got, this radio transmitter nevertheless tells scientists at the Missouri Department of Conservation where this Greater Prairie Chicken is. . That’s what scientists would like to know. (And actually, this particular Greater Prairie Chicken crossed two states.) After being nabbed in Nebraska and outfitted with a GPS collar in April of this year, Bird No. 112 was released in Iowa and has since traveled a circuitous route of more

'Birders of the 21 st century have it good, especially those of us who speak and read English. We can bird all over the world, and although we are not guaranteed a field guide to every single region and country in the world, there are a whole lot more of them than in the mid-1970’s, when world birders like Phoebe Snetsinger often had to put together their own checklists and guides.
