'I am not anti-hunting. I won’t pick a fight with hunters, as long as they eat what they shoot and don’t use lead ammunition. However, I will pick a fight with the Rip Van Winkle Rod and Gun Club in Palenville, New York, which is sponsoring their fourth annual “Crow Down” March 29-30, 2014. The “Crow Down” is a “hunting contest” where both adults and children slaughter as many crows as they possibly can in two days.

'Big news about a small bird broke earlier this month when bird researchers from several nations announced that the species formerly known as Spotted Wren-Babbler ( Spelaeornis formosus ) — a tiny, secretive bird of montane forests from the eastern Himalayas to southeast China — is not a Spelaeornis wren-babbler at all. Instead, it appears to be the sole member of a very old family ( Discovery of a relict lineage and monotypic family of passerine birds , Alström et al.).

'Florida is known as the Sunshine State. It is also known for the 500 exotic species of animals and plants that now call the Sunshine State home. Exotic species are animals that did not historically occur in Florida. Most were introduced, meaning they were brought to Florida by humans. One such species is the familiar mallard (Anas platyrhynchos). Resident mallards are considered an “exotic duck” in Florida and have the potential to drive the native mottled duck (Anas fulvigula) to extinction th

'The patch. All birders know what a patch is, and I’m going to do all of us a favor and spare you the definition of a patch and what it means’s to it’s “owner”…it is known. You are welcome. The real challenge in discussing a patch is making it somehow interesting to other birders…after all, a patch is a personal thing, so blogging about one’s patch is akin to blogging about one’s bird list…it may be interesting at first, but it gets old

'Yes, that’s what’s happening at Midway Atoll, a chain of islands in the Pacific Ocean managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS). You’ve no doubt heard about birds being put at risk by nonnative cats, rats, and even goats. But plants? In the case of Midway, a National Wildlife Refuge , the offending species is Golden Crownbeard ( Verbesina enceliolides ) , an innocuous-looking flower that’s native to Mexico and the Southwestern United States.

'When Adam Riley let me know he had seen some cool frigatebird photos and wondered if we wanted to run them on 10,000 Birds I immediately said yes. After all, the last time Adam said he had some cool photos they were really, really cool ! In this case, Adam did not take the photos – they were taken by Ed Ritchie, who was lucky enough to view the behavior shown here on a recent visit to the Galapagos Islands.

'Sandhill Cranes ( Grus canadensis ) are among the oldest living birds. The oldest unequivocal Sandhill Crane fossil is 2.5 million years old, over one and a half times older than the earliest remains of most living species of birds. Sandhill Cranes fly south for the winter and in their wintering areas they form flocks of over 10,000 birds. The Cuban Sandhill Crane , Grus canadensis nesiotes and the Mississippi Sandhill Crane , Grus canadensis pulla are listed as endangered species.

'continued from: Birding Argentinga – Salto Encantado | Yaguarundy. We left Yaguarundy in search of the Araucaria Provintial Park located in the town of San Pedro, Misiones. This is a short drive of about 25 km and you have to drive through the town since the park is located at the edge of town. We stopped at this park in search of the Araucaria Tit-Spinetail which is near-threaten due to the destruction of its highly specialized habitat, the Araucaria trees.

'Via John of A DC Birding Blog , I ran across an article about a recent French study that suggests that urban birds may be changing looks in response to selective pressures caused by city life. Not quite as straightforward as the class moths and soot scenario, this instead appears to be a response to the high load of heavy metals that a bird can accumulate when living off junk food in the streets or weed seeds grown in vacant lots.

'March Madness is on everyone’s mind right now, at least in the United States. But I’ll tell you what March Madness really is… looking out the window on the first (and second and third) day of spring and seeing fresh snow. Madness! Because of said snow, the smart birds are refraining from returning to Rochester; we’re dealing with a lot of confused robins and smug starlings.

'Ospreys are easily observed around Broome and their numbers have increased during the time that we have lived here. They nest in a variety of interesting places around town. Of course they are not at all interested in the platform that was erected for them at the reserve at Town Beach. They have other ideas! They had used it in the past, but nowadays they prefer to use the telecommunication tower on Barker Street, the telecommunication tower on Port Drive and the top of a tank at the fuel depot

'If spring so far has failed to live up to your expectations, look upon the season as Gerard Manley Hopkins did : Nothing is so beautiful as spring-. When weeds, in wheels, shoot long and lovely and lush; Thrush’s eggs look little low heavens, and thrush. Through the echoing timber does so rinse and wring. The ear, it strikes like lightnings to hear him sing… Will you listen for the lightning-strike of thrush song this weekend?

'Moving is a stressful endeavor. There are boxes to pack, valuables to secure, and furniture to disassemble. But when your shift from one home to another involves a pet, the undertaking becomes even more, err, ruff. And if you’ve got a dog or cat that doesn’t travel well, things can get downright hairy. But with careful planning and preparation — and plenty of patience — you can get through any location change without feeling as though you’re chasing your tail.

'What we’ve got here is a failure to communicate. After scrolling through piles of furious emails regarding a recent blog about Rip Van Winkle’s Crow Killing Contest , it seemed to me that all of us needed Dr. Phil. Accusations were leveled, assumptions were made, direct questions went unanswered, and there was no monitor to call the room to order. The subject was not hunting; it was contest killing.

'Well, Copenhagen Zoo is back in the news; a few weeks after killing a giraffe and feeding it to some lions, it went and killed some of those same lions. It hasn’t achieved as much attention yet, presumably because people are rather preoccupied with wars brewing in Eastern Europe and missing airliners, but give it time. I’m not gong to go into the ethics and reasons behind why a zoo might want to, well, manage its stock.
