We would walk the Pacific Beach promenade, see Shamu at Sea World (this is before Blackfish, mind you), and sample delicious Mexican food in Old Town San Diego. When I visited, it was rainy and a trek through a potentially slippery canyon sounded like I would end up in the hospital, so we ventured along the raised boardwalk.

This week’s guest blog was written by Linda Hufford, who has been a wildlife rehabilitator specializing in raptors for over twenty years. The Moustached Kingfisher was known by only three samples– one female “collected” in the 1920’s, the other two females “collected” in the 1950’s, according to an Audubon Magazine article.

While it makes a passing attempt to say not all scientists are like these monstrous fiends (or truly arrogant, as she dubs them) it mostly focuses on these monstrous fiends simply to prove that scientists in wildlife conservation can be monstrous fiends, particularly compared to the environment-loving oil industry of Alaska.

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. 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. That was one of his cats.

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.
Expert insights. Personalized for you.
