TE is practiced by state and federal wildlife managers; but municipal TE needs to happen if the annihilation of native wildlife is to be significantly slowed. This reminds me that the saddest part of this whole kerfuffle isn’t that Ted Williams’ work might no longer appear in the pages of Audubon Magazine.

Cochran followed thrushes for 34 years and is now considered one of the founders of wildlife telemetry (instead of patenting his radio transmitters, he gave away his knowledge), but was a scientific outsider for much of his life. As Heiman points out herself, there are many migratory species we still know very little about.

In 2018, I read an article in Birding magazine by Jeff R. Although the class focused “on birds, students also pick up some botany, geology, hydrology, forestry, fisheries, meteorology, and wildlife management,” students also learned “the names, habits, and importance of local animals and plants.”

I'm finally getting caught up on some reading and came across this article in the Defenders of Wildlife wildlife. I'm very proud of supporting Defenders because I think they do great work and they have a really good magazine too. Surprisingly, they are overlooked in discussions of Arctic species threatened by global warming.

Talking to Jan Södersved the editor of the Birdlife Finland magazine Linnut whilst we were both in Portugal in early October suggested that all of the owl species in Finland had had a very productive breeding season. Short-eared Owls do breed in Britain but every few years an ‘irruption’ of the like we are seeing occurs.

Long before I moved in New Zealand, or visited or even knew much about the wildlife here, way back then I knew about the Poor Knights. I started diving as an undergraduate in Southampton, and being unable to travel frequently at the time I consumed diving magazines and dreamt of visiting far flung destinations (something still do, actually).

The story of the cahow, a “Lazurus species” that was thought to be extinct for over 300 years and then discovered to be breeding on a tiny remote island in Bermuda, is part of modern birding legend. He also mentors young conservationists, including Jeremy Madeiros, his successor as conservation officer. These are magical experiences.

Birders often venture into various habitats, such as forests, wetlands, grasslands, or coastal areas, to encounter different bird species. The primary objective of birding is to identify bird species based on their physical characteristics, behavior, and vocalizations.

Collins Birds of the World is “ a must for the travelling birder ,” as the BBC Wildlife Magazine reviewer has put it. But when I felt familiar with perhaps half of the species around my town, I started to feel that my field guide is now too bulky and too hefty to carry, and that was the era before smartphones and phone apps.

The USVI are smaller and have fewer habitats and, as a result, fewer bird species. In Birding magazine, ABA President Jeff Gordon argued that adding Hawaii would “bring an unjustly excluded community of birders into full membership in the ABA family.” Many native birds are either endemics or widespread Caribbean species.

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. Hunting is on a steady downturn, and nonconsumptive wildlife pursuits are on a tremendous upswing. We can fight them back in Kentucky, too.

It may be as sick as deliberately targeting an endangered species for death. Birders know that the light’s not always perfect or even particularly good when you’re trying to tell one species from another. So we can squawk at the state wildlife departments all we want, but the USFWS has the final say. The big white one.
