4 The Love Of Animals
AUGUST 8, 2017
Everyone loves videos with animals being adorable and cute. Recently, the Ad Council has crafted three aww-inducing Public Service Ads (PSAs) featuring puppies, baby goats, and hedgehogs! Yes, hedgehogs (of course we had to share that one).

Some birds are so familiar, even non-birders can’t help but know what they are, or at least what family they belong to. In upstate New York, sparrows, doves, woodpeckers, and cardinals fall into this category and are probably why we see more of those backyard birds (and their semi-psychedelic stylized versions) on Christmas cards, napkins, and other random types of stationary.

It is not always obvious which side of a bird-related conservation lawsuit is the right side. As many birders know, the last wild California Condors were captured by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) in the 1980s to be part of a captive breeding program. FWS began releasing captive-bred condors from the program into the wild in the early 1990s, with considerable success: once down to 22 birds, there are now approximately 275 wild condors in California, Arizona, Utah, and Baja California

In reading a recent story by our esteemed writer, Mr. Redgannet , I was brought to mind some recent photos of a Double-crested Cormorant , which had also made a ridiculous attempt at over eating. Here in the Sea of Cortez, we have a fairly decent population of a family of a fish called Tetratdontidae , or more commonly known as Pufferfish. I am sure most of you are fully aware of these real life, self inflating balloons.

Tragically, McSweeney’s doesn’t have quite enough hard-core birders in the audience to appreciate this. But I thought you guys would! Look, you guys, I know it’s been a rough start to the year for everyone. Some of you have been counting on federal funding or habitat protection that now looks shaky; some of you have mates who never made it back from migration; some of you just can’t catch enough fish.

I was itching to get out of the car and bird. My binoculars were on the seat right next to me, so close and yet, so far. My husband, our friends, and I drove down the famous Lighthouse Road at St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge just after dawn. The light was still golden, swaying Spartina alterniflora grasses bordering multiple ponds and salt marshes.

The first week of August marks that point in the year where most people I know start to bemoan the impending end of summer. If your circle of friends reside closer to the South Pole, you probably hear fond thoughts of the approach of spring. Be warned though: we have plenty of the current season left! I was so crippled with envy over Corey’s current Neotropical sojourn (with a few family commitments thrown in) that I could barely bring myself to look at birds at all.

In Australia it is winter in July, but the weather is as perfect as you could hope for in the north of the country with daytime temperatures around 30c/86f and the night-time temperatures being around 20c/68f and rarely a cloud in the sky. These temperatures make for perfect birding/camping weather and because that is one of our favourite pastimes we decided it was time to go and explore a bit more of northern Australia during July.

Not only is the Trump administration going about removing our hard fought environmental protections, they are destroying our reputation around the globe. Withdrawing from the Paris Agreement and placing climate deniers like Scott Pruitt to head the EPA , Sam Clovis as US Department of Agriculture’s top scientist , and Ryan Zinke as head of the Department of Interior , moves Stephen Bannon’s objective of “deconstruction of the administrative state” closer to reality.
