This post is from Lisa Beth Acton, a wildlife rehabilitator in Accord, NY. Lisa brings her to all kinds of gatherings to spread the word of wildlife (see Xena’s Facebook page ).

Fish and Wildlife Service endangered species list. I very much enjoyed the first section, which relates the history of the bird and its relationship with us, humans, from its discovery in 1851 up to the fateful Lake Mack fire and its aftermath in the 1980’s. Rapai is clearly fascinated by Leopold’s life, and frankly, so was I.

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.

I once knew a guy who kept and raised cats. This is approximated by the size of the animal, but really, this has to be adjusted for depending on modality of killing. Free-ranging domestic cats have been introduced globally and have contributed to multiple wildlife extinctions on islands. But they don’t live in North America.

What could motivate gunmen (I cannot call them hunters) in two states to deliberately kill North America’s tallest and most critically endangered bird? Fish and Wildlife Service tells states when they may propose a hunting season on cranes, and has ultimate jurisdiction over whether the states get their seasons. Street, N.W.

There are three things that will go wrong: 1) The inland zones that would become the new wetlands are already, in many cases, occupied by human-built things that will severely interfere with this process.

of Fish and Wildlife Commissioner Jon Gassett has indicated that if enough people write in protest, the proposed hunting season–due to start this December– will be reconsidered.

None fly, most are curious and social, which probably contributes to our cultural perception of penguins as one step away from human. Raised in the Galapagos, she’s been exposed to penguins her whole life. Some are cute, some are dignified (and royal!). The first section, Life Between Two Worlds by Tui De Roy is the heart of the book.
