I bring this up not to boast (well, not much) but because I think that this approach to wildlife travel is somewhat neglected in birding circles. Volunteering provides a very different experience to tourism though. Ugandan Mangabeys were part of my family once. I’ll also take the opportunity to travel a bit.

It would use that mini rapier of a beak to full poking effect if the hapless human tried to take a sip from its feeder, or pick one of its flowers, or even neglect to fill the feeder on time. I’m sorry, but the ravenous mini, modern dinos are jerks. C’est moi, Green-crowned Brilliant , le jerk! I’m pretty sure they are!

“Working with Animal Care and Control has been a fantastic experience for us. As the only organization in New York City whose doors are open to any animal in need, AC&C rescues thousands of New York’s homeless, neglected, abused and abandoned animals each year.

Filming the plovers of Estero Lagoon Plovers are a significant part of the shorebird family, comprising 66 species worldwide. I am often guilty of neglecting “place&# when birding. Small to medium-sized birds, they are characterized by their typically upright posture, large eyes and fairly long legs.

In Better Living Through Birding , Chris tells us stories of his life, a very unique life, but he also crafts his experiences so we can relate to them as birders and as people. Because being a birder means you experience life through that framework. And, as he did a decade ago, the joys and benefits of birding.

I recently returned from my family’s annual spring trip to Florida, and unlike years previous I didn’t get any special time set aside to bird this time round. There are few birds in North America that can elicit a subconscious smile in every single birder regardless of experience or skill, but this one has to be it.

Imagine the heart exploding with happiness that the beautiful pet you have supported and loved, has found forever love with a great family. Some were abused or neglected. Fostering is a wonderful experience. A pet needs time to decompress, to learn trust, to “get over” the shelter experience. And the latter is selfish.
