Surprising, or maybe not, the Queens County Bird Club’s News & Notes , which has always noted member bird sightings, was not consulted.) I am intensely curious about how they wrote this book–when did they start, what roles did each man play, how did they deal with new sources of data, such as eBird? And for good reason.

Change Of Heart provides science-based answers to many questions that are hotly debated among animal activists. For example, why is it so hard for our family members and co-workers – many of whom have companion animals that they love – to cut cruelty from their diets and go vegan? In the author's words.

Scientists were largely limited to studies birds in breeding colonies, at least those we knew about and that were accessible (and, if you think that’s a complete list, you haven’t read the news that came out this week about a new colony of Adélie penguins found in the Danger Islands, Antarctica). Who is it for?

Christian Cooper comes on screen about two-and-a-half minutes into The Central Park Effect , appreciating a Prothonotary Warbler at ‘the Point’ while telephoning a friend with the news (this is pre-text group), a nice hint of the collegial networks that underlie Central Park birding.

Dan is an active member of BirdLife Cyprus and goes birding whenever his career and family allow. Mayr technically studied medical sciences, but he was a true and fanatic/fantastic birder and this was the reason for him choosing Greifswald over any other university – he wanted to go birding there.

When these birds breed, this can lead to highly cringeworthy announcements, for example from Adelaide Zoo : “We have egg-citing news!” Of course, if science is not for you, you can also look for the Spiritual Meaning of Willie Wagtail (“Unlock the amazing secrets of this spiritual symbol”) here.

Recently, the news came out that beloved Archaeopteryx is not really a bird ancestor. This has happened before, Archaeopteryx and the bird family tree have had an often tenuous relationship. That’s what Archaeopteryx is. In fact, you have to get downright cladistic. Horses have six upper and lower on each side.

Of the Central Flyway states, Nebraska alone holds out in protecting the cranes, having proven by its longstanding Festival of the Cranes in Kearney that a crane is worth infinitely more alive and purring in the sky with its family than thudding, broken and bleeding, into a cornfield.

My friend Vickie Henderson , who has some serious long-range vision, looked at the science behind Tennessee’s crane hunting proposal and found it badly wanting. Although it didn’t make the news, the fifth crane was shot in Alabama– they just didn’t find her body until two weeks later. Here’s the petition.
