This week’s guest blog was written by Linda Hufford, who has been a wildlife rehabilitator specializing in raptors for over twenty years. Can a dead bird educate the researcher on its song? How it raised its chicks? She runs Birds of Texas Rehabilitation Center in Austin County, Texas. His answer surprised me.

Let me introduce my guest blogger, Lisa Owens Viani, co-founder of the California-based group RATS ( Raptors Are The Solution ), which educates people about the dangers of rat poisons. Syngenta warns that “Talon” is “hazardous to dogs, cats, pigs, poultry and other wildlife.” Thanks for your concern for wildlife, Syngenta.).

Today’s blog was written by Kathy Hershey, co-founder of Utopia Wildlife Rehabilitators in Hope, Indiana. We have no real way of knowing, but we surmise that he was raised illegally by a member of the public, and “imprinted.”. The voice on the other end of the phone was panicked. It was happening again … Parker was back.

So armed with some knowledge from the “ Access Considerations for Birding Locations ” page on the Birdability website and some research, I twice visited the Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge near Portland, Oregon with accessibility in mind. The front of this building is the restrooms and the back is a covered education/picnic area.

If it is an emergency and since I get calls and texts from all over the country (even a few out of the country), I direct people to Rehabber Search or Wildlife Rehabber. If you cannot find the nest or it’s too destroyed, do not try and raise a chick this young. Never raise a wild goose or duckling yourself.

While it makes a passing attempt to say not all scientists are like these monstrous fiends (or truly arrogant, as she dubs them) it mostly focuses on these monstrous fiends simply to prove that scientists in wildlife conservation can be monstrous fiends, particularly compared to the environment-loving oil industry of Alaska. Best guess?

This non-technical book is a development from a series of lectures, tried and tested in numerous adult education courses given to non-specialists. Attempting to bluff the bear in believing that they were even bigger bears, Hoshino suggested raising their hands, to appear taller. From the behavioural point of view, what has happened?

Fish and Wildlife Service desperately needs your feedback as they craft a new vision for our National Wildlife Refuge System. The results will inform a vision document to be adopted in July 2011 at a national conference to guide the NWR system for wildlife protection into the next decade and beyond.

This post is from Lisa Beth Acton, a wildlife rehabilitator in Accord, NY. She has a captive-bred education bird named Xena, a Eurasian Eagle Owl. Lisa brings her to all kinds of gatherings to spread the word of wildlife (see Xena’s Facebook page ). This summer Lisa raised three orphaned Common Ravens.

Children’s programming concocted by educators instead of marketers was ok, and so were nature programs. Tom French of the Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife (not, however, any Japanese animators — the “Legacy”, in the world of this book, does not extend to television, which seems a curious omission.).

We all thought the kindest approach would be to end her suffering, but then…she raised her head and looked directly at me. in Antigo, WI.

I recently traveled to Oklahoma to help spread the word of wildlife, finding all kinds of adventure along the way. Since wildlife rehabilitators are in short supply wherever you go, we tend to forge internet friendships; then the fact that our closest compatriots may live thousands of miles away isn’t such a problem. No matter.

But one man was listening to the calls of the whistle blowers -- calls of widespread wetland destruction, poaching, pesticides and destructive feral wildlife. In December, 1990, a single pair of ducks and some young birds began to feed at the farm of Mr. Willie Ebanks, at Hutland, Northside, in Grand Cayman.

I once knew a guy who kept and raised cats. An abstract from a recent paper in Nature : Anthropogenic threats, such as collisions with man-made structures, vehicles, poisoning and predation by domestic pets, combine to kill billions of wildlife annually. But they don’t live in North America. Unless we put them there.

This certainly raises a question of ethics for any birder contemplating a visit; should you hurry to Ghana’s forests and witness the last of this diversity as it is being destroyed or is it better to simply stay away?

The book sparked constructive conversations about what is a field guide and the efficacy of drawings versus photographs in a bird guide and just how far does one tweak a wildlife photograph for publication. Crossley has wisely positioned his series as an educational resource, to be used as much at home as in the field.
