Written by birders, it underlies a wealth of facts, trends, and events with a consciousness that the more knowledgeable we are about good bird feeding practices, based on history and experience, the more successful bird feeding will be at bringing people to birds and the more people will advocate for effective conservation policies and laws.

Over at Animal Rights and AntiOppression , we’ve been discussing tactics and sharing our thoughts and experiences about what works and doesn’t work when it comes to advocacy. Herzog, unsurprisingly, uses “it” to refer to animals, eats and wears them, and “[does] not feel particularly guilty about it” (P.S., All day long.

I’m sure many of you have had similar experiences. I’m wondering as I write if you are shaking your head, uneasy that all these FACTS will interfere with your love of observing owls, an experience that easily borders on the mystical for some of us. But what do we know beyond these commonly seen and heard behaviors?

So, when Corey and Mike asked if I wanted to review the Second Atlas of Breeding Birds in Pennsylvania , I jumped at the chance to write about this unique type of scientific reference book. And, if you are part of an ongoing atlas project in your state, tell us about your experiences.

As we know from the French documentary La Marche de l’Empereur ( March of the Penguins) , the females skedaddle from the breeding colony once she produces an egg, leaving the egg to be incubated by the males, who fast for 120 days while keeping the egg in a flap of their feet. (I

Most of this book is about Eurasian Wryneck, as the subtitle indicates, though Red-throated Wryneck is referred to throughout and there is a chapter focused on the species. Gorman’s personal field experience informs much of the text and his total grasp of the field means he relates one research finding to another with narrative ease.

Birders are always happy to see a turtle or tortoise, and there are times of the year when my social media feeds are sprinkled with photos of turtles beings removed from roads or crawling to land to lay eggs. So, you’re not always sure if the text is referring to the turtle in the image. The captions use common names.

The Nonggang Babbler ‘s claim to fame is having only been discovered in 2008 (as a meaningless reference, it should be added that the first iPhone was released in 2007, one year earlier). Spot the reference? ) One of the reasons for birders to come here is to see the Nonggang Babbler.

Illustrations were created using diverse visual and physical source materials–skin collections from Australian museums and a database of over 300,000 photographs (plus, of course, the artists’ years of field experience). Some offer nest information, egg information, breeding timeline, in flight views, etc.

Oh, and if you want to impress someone or talk to an ornithologist about it, make sure to refer to it as sexual dichromatism. While I would not want to encourage anyone to put birds in cages, it is interesting to read about the experience of somebody breeding Black-headed Sibias in captivity. They will love you for it, I promise.

He always refers to himself and his wife and his child as "vegetarian." Yet he spends time describing the miserable deaths of day-old male chicks and understands what happens in dairy production, and I assume he doesn't partake of anyone's eggs or milk. In all fairness, most people's only reference is PETA. He never says he is.

I know from experience how accessible Dennis is, last year he helped me identify a damselfly I photographed in Costa Rica (Argia anceps, no common name). Common and differing traits will include type of coloring, thorax patterning, how they perch or fly, how they copulate, and how they oviposit, lay eggs.

Plus there is my librarian-ish reluctance to use anything on the web for reference unless I know the author or the author’s credentials. Besides the urgent need to identify my dragonflies, I was interested in hands-on experience using these field guides. The Behaviour paragraph includes flight pattern and mating habits.

This is a comprehensive, handsome reference book that is likely to become the standard for many years. I also enjoyed the breeding photo series, showing Downy Woodpecker eggs and then hatchlings within a breeding chamber in a tree, with only a few wood chips to support them. How do you look it up?
