While it makes a passing attempt to say not all scientists are like these monstrous fiends (or truly arrogant, as she dubs them) it mostly focuses on these monstrous fiends simply to prove that scientists in wildlife conservation can be monstrous fiends, particularly compared to the environment-loving oil industry of Alaska.

The water this Northern Pintail is in has human poo in it, which completely ruins the experience of seeing this bird. The first place I started birding a lot was a sewage treatment plant…I still equate the smell of human waste with great birds. Oh wait, it doesn’t. Radio Road, Redwood Shores, CA.

Bird feeding is a major industry. Parents are encouraged to do it to introduce wildlife to children. The birds were so desperate for food that they would fly into a human to get a morsel of food. I don’t have all the answers and human interaction with birds is something I struggle to understand.

In 2015 a Federal Duck Stamp Task Force was convened under the auspices of the Association of Fish & Wildlife Agencies (AFWA) consisting of seventeen individuals.

There are two things you need to know about A Field Guide to the Wildlife of South Georgia , edited by Robert Burton and John Croxall, and produced by the South Georgia Heritage Trust. The temptation will be to jump to the Wildlife sections. I found the section on Invertebrates less interesting than the previous wildlife sections.

Weidensaul worked on the first research project in Argentina 24 years ago, and his memories of that time in the pampas are both a baseline for what has happened since, a mini-story in itself, and a tribute to Pete Bloom and Brian Woodbridge, the wildlife biologists who originated the study of Swainson’s Hawks in Butte Valley.

It’s no secret that beer and wine share a common heritage that dates back to the earliest days of human civilization. Thanks to industrialization and modern transportation, the various labors required to make beer are often separated by great distances and divided by vocation. Of course, habitats of all sorts attract wildlife.

In responding to Suzie’s post defending wildlife rehabilitation I began to think again about the areas in which animal rights and animal welfare overlap with the field of conservation, and the ways in which they don’t. People would often express surprise that I, someone that cared about wildlife conservation, would eat meat.

I think every naturalist in the United States knows the outlines of this urban tale: The pristine marshes of New Jersey are poisoned by pollution, toxic waste, pig farms, and probably every single way in which human beings can destroy the environment. This is the fable of the New Jersey Meadowlands and it is all true.

The way things should be is a very powerful motivating factor in human lives. I, personally, deeply believe that wild places and wildlife have an existence value that should be respected. I wonder instead if this is actually about the difference between advocacy and action, and about the way things ‘should’ be. I hear you.

Fish and Wildlife Service. We all know that one of the great joys of birding is the human relationships that form around it. I am not, by the way, saying in any way that birders are even close to being as exploited by the film industry as African-Americans were (and are). But the play on words is just too tempting. … a.
