'Ring-necked Duck ( Aythya collaris ) photo by Larry Jordan. The Migratory Bird Hunting Stamp Act , which went into effect seventy-nine years ago on July 1, 1934, authorized the annual issuance of what is popularly known as the Duck Stamp. In 1976, Congress changed the official name to the Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamp , presumably to broaden its appeal to non-hunters.

'Yesterday was Pet Fire Safety Awareness Day. Many people don’t have a set plan for house fires. And sadly, even fewer have plans that include their pets. The United States Fire Administration estimates 500,000 pets are affected by house fires each year. To spread awareness about this important topic, we here at BestBullySticks have partnered with the great folks at 4 The Love of Animals to host a giveaway!

'You may not realize it when you look at those bizarre looking waders with the massive bills and the vacant expression, but you’re looking at a group of birds that has inspired humankind for literal centuries. There are only a few birds for whom their names have changed little since the dawn of the written alphabet itself, but ibis, named by the Greeks a few thousand years before, is one of them.

'I teach human evolution, and at some point I use a chart showing reversals in the Earth’s magnetic field, which in turn relates to how we date some ancient sites. At some point, perhaps in the middle of class, perhaps after class, perhaps in an email I receive later, this question gets asked: “How do migratory birds not get lost when the Earth’s magnetic field reverses?

'Chewy.com recently gave Baby the chance to try some of their treats. We loved the fast service and shipping, and Baby was excited about the sweet potato goodie from Fromm. You can see that she was trying very hard to be a good girl while she waited for her treat. It’s not only treats that you can get from Chewy.com though, you can order food, toys, bowls, beds, leashes, and more.

'From Owls in the Family to Wesley the Owl , the narrative in which a human interacts with another species and learns a bit about life along the way has long been a popular and affecting one. Even many of our clumsy and destructive attitudes towards our fellow creatures — the horrors of early zoos and circuses, the irresponsible feeding of stray cats, the impulse to grab up fledglings who are just trying to get their air-legs under them after leaving the nest and ‘help’ them &#

'When the birds of summer grow stale, a birder’s fancy turns to leps and odes. If you don’t know what those terms mean, think about the most colorful and fascinating flying creatures that aren’t birds. Summer is sweet for dragonflies, butterflies, and moths, the last of which deserve your attention over the next seven or so days. After all, this is National Moth Week 2013!

'Birding and wildlife watching can be, as we all know, a solitary activity. And our practices, though familiar to anyone in our phenologically-attuned culture, can seem strange, sometimes even threatening, to the uninitiated. We receive ample, often poignant reminders of what tragedy can befall those who travel alone among those who don’t recognize their ways or understand their motives.

The special attraction in the Calchaqui valleys are the outstanding sceneries created by color contrasting mountains, deserts, and clear blue skies. These beautiful valleys and mountains have their own ancestral rich history, special micro climates that produce rich wines, and recent tourist hotspots hidden in the peaceful mountains along with some special birds.

'Along Broome’s coastline there are a lot less shorebirds during this time of year and those that do remain are either non-breeding migratory birds or they are resident shorebirds that breed along our coastline. The Pied Oystercatchers are predictable each year and have just laid their first eggs and the Red-capped Plovers already have young.

'Mike photographed this Unmarked Dagger ( Acronicta innotata ) at his family’s annual “Chicken Inferno” in 2009. Wonder what he’ll find this year! Are you a birder who hates summer? If you’re in North America, you might very well be, considering that the dog days are often the doldrums for finding interesting birds. And with an oppressive heat wave clutching much of the United States, even the resident birds can hardly be bothered to put on a show for anyone who ca

'Joseph Chiera is a Masters student in Animal Behavior and Conservation at Hunter College in NYC and a “somewhat newbie” to birding. After taking an ornithology course last year, he was hooked and spends most of his free time birding or reading birding blogs. Between finishing one graduate program and beginning another, he embarked on a whirlwind tour of Europe.

'Way back in mid-June when I started my southern California sojourn I mentioned that I was inundated with Western Bluebirds. Carbon Canyon Regional Park in particular had a mob of them in the northeastern corner of the park where several nest boxes had clearly worked for the bluebirds. One afternoon I spent quite a bit of time watching and digiscoping a family group of Sialia mexicana , a great way to get to know the species better.

'I grew up in one of the most beautiful cities in the world – Cape Town, South Africa. The birdlife in the Cape is nothing short of spectacular, with a healthy dose of charismatic endemic species. In fact, there is no other region in Africa that offers such a fantastic level of endemism in such an accessible location. Over 40 species of South African endemics can be found in the Cape – Cape Sugarbirds, Cape Rockjumpers, Orange-breasted Sunbirds to name but a few.

'Sometimes the birds we see take a lot of work. I wouldn’t know about that myself, as I am a legendarily good birder who finds everything with no effort. Or I’m a legendarily lazy birder. One of those, for sure. But I’ve certainly read accounts of people trudging for miles in stinking rainforest in the hope of spotting some infernal pitta.
