However, ongoing research at Sia Essential Species Repository (see below) reveals this is not always the case, and that there are actually five phases between albino and leucistic. Wildlife centers depend heavily on the advice of veterinarians who work with wildlife, and who often exchange treatments and experiences with each other.

The country has a healthy list of pelagic species. Not a bird that one would normally visit Costa Rica to see, we nevertheless were very anxious to lay eyes on this Humboldt Current species. We also saw these guys, told the crew of the ferry, and the coast guard zoomed out to rescue them. “Costa Rica borders two oceans.

It’s not often that we have the opportunity to glimpse the home life of albatrosses, nor of any seabird species. Technology to the rescue! For most seabird species, the male takes the first shift and the male and female then alternate, but the period of time for each shift varies according to species.

The penguins are well cared for by the South African powers that be–the national parks system and the Southern African National Foundation for the Conservation of Coastal Birds (SANCCOB), which rescues damaged penguins and other seabirds. We observed far fewer Lesser Flamingos, a near-threatened species. Have some dignity.”

Kooyman (co-author with Jim Mastro) spent decades studying Emperor Penguins and can be considered the world’s foremost expert on the species. Empire Penguins (Aptenodytes forsteri) are the largest living penguin species, almost four feet tall (taller when they stretch), and the least likely to be seen on birding or nature trips.

Basically, this species is so dimwitted, it doesn’t know how to survive. Because, Pink Pigeons are not capable of doing the tasks required to create and bring up children of the species. Don’t these birds care about propagating their species? What happened to Thelma and Louise? I know, that’s harsh.

Though I have already detailed my experience that day I felt that it was worthwhile to give a fuller account of what was going on along the coast on Long Island, in New York City proper, and up the Hudson River wherever storm-tossed birds were spotted. The other Oceanodroma species spotted was Band-rumped Storm-petrel.

The White-shouldered Starling is not very common in Shanghai or even in China in general, despite its species name sinensis. It is another species on which limited information is available – there is still work left for ornithologists outside of the determination of mitochondrial DNA.

The Great Black Hawk – a species with a native range in Mexico to South America – had been spotted in this park for weeks, but not every day. Though I had arrived in Maine nearly a week ago, something kept me from trying for the rare species so far from home. The post Maine’s Great Black Hawk – Rescued!

A that point in time, I could not imagine the adventure that I was going to experience and how birds would have rescued me. Birds of different species gather in bird waves to improve foraging efficiency (the insect escaping one bird will most likely be caught by another bird of the wave) and increase protection against predators.
