” Then, I heard a Ruffed Grouse drumming with its wings and only its wings, and watched a video of ornithologist Kim Bostwick moonwalking with Red-capped Manakins and heard my friend John describe a Bowerbird enticing a mate with home decoration techniques, and I thought, “Birds! There is so much here!

Solid Air: Invisible Killer- Saving Billions of Birds from Windows is the summation of Dr. Klem’s expertise, experience, and professional life–what we scientifically know about bird and glass collisions, a handbook on how to prevent them, and, not insignificantly, the story of a remarkable career. Did the model work?

This would have allowed you to summarize your experience in sentences such as “A total of 98 boluses regurgitated by 52 chicks aged 1 day to 11 days after hatching form the sample and are shown to contain 323 food items.” It concludes that human activity influences the breeding activity of the lapwing. How efficient.

There are countless CDs and downloads and books, but MyYogaOnline is not only convenient (as in, you don't have to leave the house), but it is also very inexpensive to join (and you can view sample videos free of charge), and the videos are beautifully produced. I sometimes experience despair thinking about all of the suffering.

No one in the room–neither dog nor human–can tell which cup hides the biscuit. See a video on how dogs think like us. Understanding a pointed finger may seem easy, but consider this: while humans and canines can do it naturally, no other known species in the animal kingdom can. “Humans are unique.

So modest and retiring is this well named woodland recluse that it will not sing if it suspects humans are taking notice of it. Perhaps it feels some measure of security from human intervention in subdued light. To hear the song at its best, one must be there at twilight, which eliminates most people.

I got to see a beautiful female and owlet on a trip to a secret nest location near Howard Prairie Lake (human-made nest structures have enhanced local breeding for these huge owls whose nest success is boosted to 83% on artificial platforms vs. 66% at natural sites). The experience, the place, and the bird combine to make this my BBOTY.

Not the day, the film, where Bill Murray experiences the same day over and over again.

There are few animal rights stories in the news. People are talking.

The experience is one of the ornithological highlights in the world. Geophagy, the intentional consumption of soil by vertebrates, has long been documented in a number of bird and mammal species – including wide-spread use by humans – which consume soil to increase absorption of certain minerals not naturally occurring in the local diet.

I read Chris’s story and saw his video a couple of hours after his sister made it public on social media (I had been Facebook friends with Chris for several years, though I had never met him face-to-face). Because being a birder means you experience life through that framework. It was the same day George Floyd was killed.

Other birds with webbed feet, including ducks and geese, have only three webbed toes; the hallux (which in birds is usually the “hind toe&# and in humans, the “big toe&# ) is free. For all of recorded history, humans have classified other living things by their physical characteristics. Wicked, right?

I don't frequently use photos, I rarely use video, and my posts are often long. If I had it all to do again, I'd do a video blog and I'd get at least proficient at the technical aspects. Films, blogs, books, e-zines, sanctuaries, protests, promotion of adoption (of humans and nonhumans!). Sorry about that. So I failed.

However, the Stresemann’s Bristlefront is one of those birds that is simply enigmatic and rare and recently discovered, with many aspects of its life history unknown to humanity. They really appeared to enjoy this, because as soon as they swam back to the rocks they would line up again to repeat the experience. Wicked, right?

The books work best when the birding is coupled with the human element. The Jewel Hunter is heavily laced with Gooddie’s particular brand of broad ironic humor, and I did enjoy that, but I would have traded about 10 percent for a little more insight into the unexpected outcomes of his experience.

One is the Chinese Babax , with its characteristic piercing eyes. This male Plumbeous Water Redstart tried to ignore its chick.
