The Northern Spotted Owl is a “ threatened ” species under the U.S. Endangered Species Act and it was famously the subject of extensive and protracted litigation in the late 1980s and early 1990s, mostly relating to forestry management plans in the Pacific Northwest. A sample of this process is here.)

BLM land is particularly important for conservation of the Greater Sage-Grouse and other sageland species. NPS also manages a diverse set of lands ( i.e., from the Arctic to the Everglades to the Mojave Desert to the Rocky Mountains ) that are used by many species of birds. Only FWS has the primary goal of conservation.

I met Jonathan because his mother-in-law lives here in Morelia, and when he visits her, we sometimes find a space to bird together. With 85 species in 6 hours, I’d like to think it was well repaid. He seems to be my Northern (Mountain) Pygmy-Owl whisperer. That’s me on the right. In case you were wondering.

Black-chested Sparrow is one of Paso Ancho’s flagship species. Finally, I’ll let you see some of my encounter with an expressive Ferruginous Pygmy-Owl. And I, for one, choose not to let the lack of a few species ruin my enjoyment of many more. Later in the morning, the light got better, and so did my photos.

All sorts of exotic and beautiful species may be seen. This would sound attractive even to me, except for one fact: almost all of those exotic and beautiful species are common down here in central Mexico. Southeastern Arizona is unusual, precisely because its species mix is as much Mexican as it is American.

But this book taught me about eagles, owls, storks and herons. Not all the birds, of course, but many of the distinctive and conspicuous species. Yes, you read that correctly – it was seemingly reversing the laws of gravity. T&T has five recorded species of woodcreeper, all resident. I was blown away.

You can’t say the same about migration: you can’t say that every book about birds is necessarily about migration, for the simple reason that only about 4,000 bird species migrate (with some 1,800 of those traveling long distances). (Well, purely physical attributes play a part, too: they’re pretty good looking.).
