Parents are encouraged to do it to introduce wildlife to children. I think what pissed me off most about that video was that as the owl flew in to get the mouse and they yanked it away–the blatant teasing with a live mouse (which is a whole separate area of ethics) was grotesque to me. Bird feeding is a major industry.

Then there are the other uses and a question of ethics: Let’s say you know where Kirtland’s Warblers or Whooping Cranes are nesting and you want to document it with a drone…is that harassment? Every species is going to do something different. What if the bird attacks? What if it makes contact? Birding technology'

Not sure why they spend time in Shanghai in winter when they could come here though, but then again, I usually do not understand most of the behavior of humans either. A kingfisher with a somewhat deficient work ethic, I guess. Yes, we have them in Shanghai as well. At between 4 pm and 6 pm, to be exact. Or speluncaphobia?

Puerto Rico is eager to rid itself of the estimated 2,000 patas and rhesus monkeys that have taken a toll on wildlife and agriculture in the Lajas Valley since escaping from nearby research centers 30 years ago.

We humans, herbivores like ruminants, are fine with one stomach -- we don't eat the really tough stuff like grass. Unlike many humans, they don't burden their bodies with flesh they didn't evolve to eat or factory stuff like hydrogenated oils or tooth-eroding sugar & acid concoctions unless given them by humans.)

Reading Deb's post about the goslings at Poplar and getting Jenny 's request to sign a petition to save the Canada geese of Ballwin, Missouri from mass extermination reminded me how much I miss the wildlife at the neighborhood we lived in from 2002-early 2005.

Years ago, I became a wildlife volunteer and advocate because of a cat who caught a bird. The wildlife center was an hour away if I was lucky.
