Now, there is a new study that has significant advantages of the Bumpus study, though the latter will still be useful in teaching about evolution because of its limitations and the questions it raises. Thus, there are two samples, “the population at large” (from the mist netting) and “road kills” from those collected dead on the road.

I compared a random sampling to the bird atlas maps offered on the BTO (British Trust for Ornithology) web page and found inconsistencies, perhaps because the book’s source was BirdLife International. Identification clues are also given–flight description, diagnostic features, behavior to watch for, plumage variability.

Most people are shocked and appalled when they first read descriptions of factory farming and learn about the horribly inhumane conditions in which the billions of animals destined for dinner tables are raised, and they are even more appalled when they first see documentary footage of the institutional cruelties inherent in factory farming.

Read what you want about the origin of domestic cats; the genetic evidence is not properly sampled. I once knew a guy who kept and raised cats. The majority of wildcats live today in Africa, and virtually none of them have provided the DNA from which supposed histories of domestication have been constructed by researchers.

Raptor migration : More like rapacious bonanza, even those of us who have witnessed the Neotropical River of Raptors nearly fell out of our shoes when treated to several thousand Steppe Buzzards and Black Kites flowing overhead along with a healthy sampling of eagles, harriers, and other birds of prey!

didn’t sample enough taxa to resolve these questions, so the deep relationships among these groups will need further work. Some of our longstanding questions now have really fascinating answers, and if others are still open or if new ones have been raised, we now have greater knowledge and freer imaginations with which to pursue them.

But I’ve compiled a sampling of this year’s news and events for your edification. Birds are raised from the egg to follow a certain migration timing, but that timing shifts when the egg hatches later or earlier due to changes in conditions. …” There is, as I said, much much more than this but this is a reasonable sampling.

The Friends of the Migratory Bird/Duck Stamp opposition was typical (lightly edited): [T]his proposal will not increase Contest participants, generate increased Stamp revenue, grow the number Stamp collectors, expand sales to nonhunters, and will not raise appreciation for the Stamp itself.
