On our first morning after breakfast, my group and the teens piled onto a boat and headed out to Eastern Egg Rock, once again the breeding ground for Atlantic Puffins (as well as a host of other seabirds) thanks to biologist Dr. Stephen Kress. A Magnificent Frigatebird’s feathers weigh more than its skeleton. What was it like?”

Animal Ethics

In recent years, the prevalence of disease-causing bacteria in meat, poultry, and eggs has risen sharply, which is why health authorities insist that these products be carefully handled and thoroughly cooked, if they are used at all. [My emphasis] There are other reasons why families are looking more favorably at plant-based choices.

Red Junglefowl by Mike Bergin Clare Kines chose an egg as his Best Bird of the Year. However, I am in a fierce and highly emotional year list competition with Corey, and it looks like I will lose against him. On occasion, they even incubate their eggs (they are non-parasitic cuckoos) in a communal nest.
