Most were introduced, meaning they were brought to Florida by humans. However, captive-reared mallards are being unlawfully released by humans in large numbers in Florida. Mallards did not occur in New Zealand naturally, but were released to provide hunting stock. One such species is the familiar mallard (Anas platyrhynchos).

So, yes, there’s plenty enough information about migration in the book to justify the subtitle. The harshest law of all, one more draconian than any human legislature could enact, is the law of unintended consequences. Example A, perfectly up to date, is the wind turbine.

A letter requesting information on the permit issued to remove the nest got this response from the city, “In reference to your request for documentation for the removal of an active Osprey nest from the light pole at the soccer field, please be advised that none exist.

And, though I think you can argue that the Bronx Zoo, with its numerous buildings and landscaped wildlife areas is not purely ‘natural space,’ I have wonderful memories of traipsing through its wooded areas when I was a girl. (I I didn’t grow up in the Bronx, but my best friend did.). It’s a very mixed chapter.

I love her Carolina Wrens , her Piping Plovers , her Chimney Swifts , her Ivory-billed Woodpeckers , and her Phoebes, both avian and human. The book is loaded with Julie’s art from rough sketches, often helpfully captioned in Julie’s own handwriting, to full-color, full-page reproductions of her wonderful watercolors.

It’s very hard to organize the many ways in which human beings relate to avian beings into comprehensible text. We worship birds, we hunt birds, we protect birds, and, yes, we eat birds. We politically worship them, but at the same time we’ve severely decreased the numbers of many species by hunting and habitat loss.

It’s also about human-owl interaction on an individual level and a wider sociocultural level, and ultimately how we can use all this for habitat and bird conservation. As the names and habitats imply, not all owl species are alike, in behavior, adaptation, relationship to humans, and in how humans perceive them.

With the proposed hunting seasons on sandhill cranes being discussed in Tennessee, Kentucky and Wisconsin, we must not forget the whooping crane, which travels and winters in the big sandhill crane flocks. More states will doubtless join the queue of those proposing hunts. Another thing to consider. Now, it’s time to go to the top.

Some of these specimens had labels with basic information and were stored for further work at a later time. There were reasons to think that the White-winged Guan had been extirpated by over-hunting.

The plethora of approaches to the feral Cat problem is not an outcome of a diversity of great ideas; it is the ugly chimera of inappropriate compromise among biased and often poorly informed stakeholders. Free-ranging domestic cats have been introduced globally and have contributed to multiple wildlife extinctions on islands.

Larger, denser with avian information than your typical field guide, a Crossley Guide bursts with bird images, photographic plates that verge on the surreal of birds in all plumages and poses against real-life habitats, informing, sometimes overwhelming us with visual and, if you can take your eyes off the images, textual information.
