The guidelines that apply to name changes were barely discussed, nor was there any discussion of the process by which scores of names might be changed, or whether the NACC has the bandwidth to change dozens of bird names on top of its other work. Was there confusion that impacted data collection or research or birding?

It's hard to say because the government still has not instituted a comprehensive MRSA inspection process, but independent research conducted by Tara Smith, PhD, assistant professor of epidemiology at the University of Iowa, suggests that MRSA-infected animals may be widespread indeed. Just how prevalent is MRSA-infected meat?

4 The Love Of Animals

MAY 8, 2011

Gazing at Cathy Conheim, a psychotherapist raised to hate cats because they ate birds, and Donna Brooks, a retired physician and sculptor who had never had a cat, but always reached out to heal anyone who was hurting, the kitten eyed them hopefully. Animals are our safe havens, an unending source of unconditional love and acceptance.

But I only rehabbed birds, so I had to do research and call my mammal rehabber friends. But Mars’s character is less about being an eagle and more about the fact that he was stolen from his nest, raised in captivity, and now considers almost all of mankind – except Luna – to be his enemy. What was that process like?

Of course, the evolutionary processes that produce this variety generally take place on a scale that prevents us from noticing any change at all over the course of our lifetimes. Be careful you’re in the right sort of place before you go asking your friendly barkeep what “sour, fruited milkshake IPAs” are on tap.

This week at 10,000 Birds, it’s all about how birds get around to bumping uglies (I’m talking about cloacas here), who they do it with, and how this actually leads to raising chicks…the birds and the bees of birds, you might say. Believe it or not, this is what “fidelity” looks like.

Way back when I started what turned out to be my thesis research (on humans), it became important for me to learn about bird migration. I was involved in the study of human movement and navigation on land, and there was a lot of research coming out about bird navigation. Another question this raises has to do with migration itself.

Scientific research and expertise are needed here. The question can be raised: Why should these organisms be killed and others not be killed? If some microorganisms must be killed in the process, this is unfortunate but necessary for human life. Neither is it obvious, however, that eating microorganisms does not kill them.

They are large passerines and research has shown them to be an ancient basal offshoot from the passerine tree (at approximately the same time as rockjumpers, were even placed in the same family until quite recently). Then a few years ago the news broke that picathartes had been rediscovered at a community forest reserve in Ghana.

The auk identification process is pretty straightforward. This is interesting ‘stuff’ in itself, but also important to the identification process. Harrison is positive but pragmatic, he notes that even with the best research, enthusiasm, and skill, there will be times that identification is not possible.
