Which leaves me with quite a few choices – practically the entire tropical belt, right? I am thinking of a relatively stable/prosperous bird-paradise where one may be able to find a job in ecotourism or wildlife research… or, to begin with, as a resident environmental scientist / nature blogger in some wildlife lodge?

A little bit of research when I got home unraveled the ways of publishers here and in Great Britain. The accounts aim for specificity and authority; dates and locations of rarity sightings are given, and research articles on nesting and behavior are cited. How could I, the librarian, end up with an outdated field guide?

Found throughout South America in ever-dwindling numbers these extremely beautiful birds – threatened by habitat destruction and collection for the wild bird trade – are often difficult to see and hard to find. That’s right – birds eating clay. Chestnut-fronted Macaws Ara severa.

Getting intimate with a species over the course of the breeding cycle is one of the more rewarding aspects of birding, and field research too. The eyes are still not developed enough to open, and the feet are just strong enough to help right a toppled chick. You don’t really know a bird until you’ve studied it on its breeding grounds.

In her free time she travels near and far to find birds to continue building her life list, though many of her favorites can still be found right in her own backyard. As we looked closer, we saw the Sooty Terns nesting right on the ground itself, calling back and forth to each other as they sat on their speckled eggs.

Yes, it’s nice to have information on 817 birds, and it’s wonderful to have full descriptions and photographs of birds commonly seen in Central and South America. A small range map is placed in the upper right/left hand corner showing summer, winter, resident, migration, and rare locations. SPECIES ACCOUNTS.

That’s a photo of Ridgway’s office on the right, fifth floor of the South Tower. He wrote about birds in North America, Central America, and parts of South America, including the Galapagos. Robert Ridgway wrote over 500 articles and 23 books, illustrating many of them himself.

Each chapter focuses on a specific geographic area of penguin population: (1) Antarctica, (2) South Georgia, (3) Falkland Islands, (4) South Africa and Tristan de Cunha, (5) New Zealand and Australia, (6) South America and Galapagos. It is not always easy to get the right color in printed photographs. Press, 2011).

It actually makes a lot of sense, the geographic features of the isthmus between North America (including Mexico, because Mexico is part of North America) and South America cut across political lines, as do birds. Text is on the left, plates are on the right. One field guide, seven countries.

The Desolation Islands are more than 2,000 miles from the nearest permanent human habitation (besides research stations) and can only be reached by a long ship journey. Saint Helena Island, situated in the south Atlantic ocean between the continents of Africa and South America, is one of the remotest inhabited islands in the world.

Starting in the mid-1990s, there was a “where to watch birds in…” series of five site guides written by Nigel Wheatley and covering South America (1994), Africa (1995), Asia (1996), Europe & Russia (2000) and Central America & the Caribbean (2001). I was always curious, but never had a chance to study any of them.

crossing the Carribean and winding up in South America? But many people who live closely with animals, whether as some of the more open-minded researchers or your average pet owners, have always been well aware that this simply isn’t true. I look forward to more research being done in this field.

Species Accounts vary greatly in length, from nine pages for Undulated Antpitta to two pages for Alta Floresta Antpitta, length depending not only on how much we know about the bird but also Greeney’s tendency to thoroughly discuss, even argue, any kind of confusion in documentation, taxonomy, or research results.

Where did the Coney Island Gray-hooded Gull come from, Africa or South America? I kept wishing I had Rare Birds of North America , by Steve N. Howell, Ian Lewington, and Will Russell, right in front of me. He has led birding tours for many years and is a research associate at Point Blue Conservation Science.

To research this book, he traveled extensively to see as many woodpeckers as he could; this field experience was supplemented with museum research and consultations with other experts, plus a library of print material ranging from field guides to scientific papers. This makes it very difficult to research woodpeckers by genus.

Gulls of the World is meant to cover more geographic area (add South America, Australia and the Arctic and any other parts of the world not covered in the first book) and less detail. The pages are labeled on the left with the genus name (for example, Larus) and on the right with the brief title: Gulls.
