Every single bulldog that gets rescued in September and October gets three free months of BarkBox and a full free year of BarkCare, their 24/7 vet service!!

'This is the kind of insanity that goes on with leghold traps. A few years ago my friend Astrid called me on the phone. She had taken her border collie for a walk in the woods in the local 1200-acre state park, and her dog had stepped on a leghold trap. Astrid’s dog howled as she pried it off. Luckily it had not broken his foot, although he limped for a week.

'The other day, Minneapolis, Minnesota passed a feral cat ordinance. This got me wondering what other cities were doing. So I put together a “carnival” (of sorts) of Feral Cat Ordinances and Issues that samples current events across the US. Let’s start with Minneapolis, because that is what sparked my interest. From the Star Tribune : Feral cats win a round at Minneapolis City Hall. …a City Council committee voted 5-0 to recommend a new law that in essence licenses the ca

'Spoonbills and ibises are stocky, colorful wading birds with distinctive bills: downcurved and pointed in the case of ibises, flat and paddle shaped in the spoonbills (above is my shot of Roseate Spoonbills ( Platalea ajaja ) near a breeding colony in Louisiana). Together, they are placed in the family Threskiornithidae, and they’re related to herons and egrets, pelicans, and the strange Hamerkop and Shoebill.

'We always love to dress Baby for all kinds of occasions. She actually gets excited about putting on her clothes and “helps” get herself dressed.

Do you think they like it?

'Or perhaps I should say “illusive.” That’s because an American architecture firm is planning what’s billed as the “world’s first invisible building” in South Korea. (Hat tip to Pat O’Donnell for the story; the image above is by GDS Architects, via CNN.) The skyscraper would apparently be cloaked in LED panels projecting an image of what’s on the other side of the building, for a pretty nifty see-through illusion.

Many people find themselves with a few hours to kill during transit and could potentially add a few ticks to their trip list as they pass through. This post might give you a few ideas for what to see during a stop in Dubai and a few tips on where to go and how to get there.

'Keep your eyes to the skies for flying pink birds like these Roseate Spoonbills , which are really ibises with big flat bills ! Excited about the equinox? One half of our global population will be surrendering minutes and then hours of daylight for darkness while the other half enjoys the inverse transaction. Those dark days of December are still far off, however, and migrants fill our skies in light and darkness.

'I recently had a discussion with birding friends about the importance of a birding mentor when you’re starting–especially when you are kid. I never had that growing up, I didn’t find mentors until I was in my twenties and it was great. You learn so much that can’t be gleaned from just a field guide. You need someone out in the field with you over and over to help you figure those little peeps, sparrows and flycatchers or even the timing of certain bird species in migrati

'For a birder, having a great local patch is a real luxury. We all have those days when we want to get out and go birding, but can never quite decide where we want to go. A local patch removes the mystery, makes the planning easier. And if that local patch is productive (and why else would it be your local patch if it’s not?), alls the better.

'It is that time of year again. We are observing a large increase in the number of shorebirds arriving back in Broome after their travels to the northern hemisphere to breed and many are returning with good breeding plumage. They are roosting around Roebuck Bay and Cable Beach at high tide during both the day and night. During the day Cable Beach is used by the smaller species, but at night the larger species also join them.

'It had been a long time since I birded Central Park. It had been a long time since I’d seen any warblers besides Yellow and Nashville ; it had been a long time since I’d seen any Northern Cardinals or Blue Jays , period. And yet the weather, holding steady at Too Hot and Too Humid, didn’t seem to promise anything but frustration as early September crawled along and the days of my vacation counted down.

'September is as unpredictable as a month can be. Here in Western NY, we suffered a 40 point swing in temperature over two days; one moment, you’re enjoying drinks by the pool and the next finds you wrapped in a shawl sipping got cocoa. Was your weekend weather clement or cruel? With birds on the wing all over the world, I imagine everyone who tried saw something interesting.
