There’s more, so much more, in this highly informative, detail-packed, research-based description of bird behavior. He aims to bring together all ornithological and ecological research on birds and winter the world over–not just in areas covered by snow–and summarize the findings in non-scientific language.

I was just curious what the US birders dream about, so I posted a question in the ABA’s FB group: a) what are the most popular foreign destinations and b) where would you go with unlimited funds? The number of answers (89) and respondents (about 71, if I counted them correctly) surprised me, as well as some answers. 8%: Brazil, Panama.

Many birders keep personal birding lists or life lists, documenting the species they have seen throughout their birding experiences. The concept of a big year gained significant attention through books, such as “The Big Year” by Mark Obmascik, which chronicled the experiences of birders participating in competitive big years.

Up to 100 kg – possibly a female, my guide and a bear researcher from the wildlife charity Callisto, Yannis Tsanakis, tells me. According to the latest research data, the total Brown Bear population in Greece is 475 to 500 and here in the Pindos range there are 350 to 400 animals (Pilidis, 2015, in pub.). Not at all.

Females seem to be the only sex to sit on the eggs according to literature, but no research appears to have been done on the night time routine. They both take responsibility protecting their young and remain in a family group for a period of time. They will do this to lead the intruder away from the nest area.

Fortunately for the honor of the species, the researchers found that kleptoparasitism was practiced at a low rate (4% of observations) while much more often, drongos captured insects disturbed by other species (41% of observations). The associated bird species seek out drongos, apparently relying upon them heavily for protection.

Audubon Associate Naturalist, have led this tour many times, through tornados, droughts, questionable restaurants, and, sadly, the advent of fracking, and every one of my friends who has participated over the years has raved about the experience and the birds (in fact, one member of our group was on his third or fourth trip, I lost count).

However recent research has shown that they are in fact not baboons, despite superficial appearances, and they are now just called “Gelada”. In parts of the Simien Mountains of northern Ethiopia, from which I have just returned, Geladas have been protected from persecution for some time. Male Gelada in his prime. Photo by Adam Riley.

As a librarian and women’s studies scholar, I greatly appreciate the research. And once in a while, there is a check-in on what was happening in the United States–the killing of a bird protection warden in the Everglades, investigations into millinery sweatshops, the earlier passage of bird protection legislation.

It’s relatively easy to classify birds into family groups based on physical characteristics. We worship birds, we hunt birds, we protect birds, and, yes, we eat birds.
