And, in a very lovely section in the middle of the book, she describes the life cycle of the cahow, informing evocative passages about their nocturnal courtship and flight with recent research findings about how seabirds are able to function—eat, sleep, navigate home.

Roth; the informative, graceful text is by Susan L. They cut down the trees the parrots used for nesting and brought black rats, who ate their eggs, and honeybees who swarmed into their nests, and by 1937 there were only about 2,000 Puerto Rican Parrots left. Roth and Cindy Trumbore. I really like to know the story behind the book.

He pairs conventional wisdom with actual research on such wisdom and speaks to experts who’ve been pondering the issues from the perspectives of their various disciplines. The research, much of the time, doesn’t support the conventional wisdom (which is not to say the case is closed on any issue). All day long.

Or, Pygmy leaf-folding frogs, Afrixalus brachycnemis, from Tanzania, tiny climbing frogs who lay their eggs in leaves and then fold the leaves over them for protection, sealing the nest with secretions.

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

If you want to see photos of all 8 of them, there is a nice one-page leaflet online which is also the source of some of the information below. Another paper reviews information on Oriental Pied Hornbills raiding the nests of various bird species in Singapore and even pet bird cages. A good reason to come back soon then, I guess.

The descriptions of the territory’s birds, seals, whales, introduced mammals, invertebrates, and plants are written within the framework of the conversationist, so it is more than a field guide, it is a record of endangered wildlife and the efforts being made to protect it.

The majority of wildcats live today in Africa, and virtually none of them have provided the DNA from which supposed histories of domestication have been constructed by researchers. Cats migrate out of the parks and live in areas where the researchers found the cats to be both fatter and less diseased. Let me tell you this: They are.

Written by Mark Avery, Conservation Director for the RSPB (Royal Society for the Protection of Birds) for nearly 13 years, this book explores the reasons for the extinction of the Passenger Pigeon from the point of view of the outsider. How many eggs did a pigeon lay? Or the absence of legal protection.

This may have been partly a leftover from the Victorian fascination with egg collecting (the infamous passion known as oology), but probably more from people’s burgeoning interest in the nests and eggs found in their gardens and fields, gateway artifacts to a newer hobby called birdwatching.

Weidensaul’s second book on migration is a tale of many birds and many research studies, connected by his thoughtful, narrative voice and the amazing strands of knowledge being discovered today by brilliant scientists the world over. This is a book that will be read with pleasure and amazement by both birders and nonbirders. Donna). ==.

To understand, and thus to protect. To gather vital information that could make the difference between a thriving Golden Eagle population and a declining one.

As I watched, it slowly moved into a patch of dried vegetation and I noticed that it was settling over a single egg. Two or three eggs may be laid and either bird may incubate. Feeling lazy, or I would do the research myself.) This comments thread is rather informative as well! How do we know this? Have a nice day.

If the male’s color fades after the first egg, the female reacts by laying a smaller second egg – seemingly deciding that it is better to cut her losses as the male apparently is the avian equivalent of a deadbeat father. Yes, you can get that information! Probably without having a single thought while doing it!

Chinese researchers have actually been able to identify individual Asian Stubtails on the basis of their songs ( source ). It seems that a lot of ornithological research is based on thinking about what makes sense from an evolutionary standpoint, and then checking whether this actually the case.
