The Early Bird

Bluebirds and Cardinals are perhaps the prettiest wild bird you will see outside your kitchen window. They have remarkable colors and many people have them as pets. Both Bluebirds and Cardinals are found in the same areas, in the northeastern and southeastern states. They are also located in the central region as well. Bluebirds are found in Mexico also. Cardinals are known to be red and Bluebirds are blue in color. The male bluebirds are a little bit different than the females. The females are…

white-pink blossoms. Sensitive fern, arrow wood, common milkweed, winged sumac, garlic mustard, and honeysuckle were all observed. Common bird species such as the pigeon, European starling and house sparrows were seen most often. I also observed red-tailed hawks, downy woodpecker, the cedar waxwing and the eastern bluebird. There are more than 200 species of bird in the park, and I wish I could have seen more. Grey squirrels were abundant, as you would expect in a city park. The Felix M. Warburg…

I am going to inform you about how to find a good duck hunting spot and how to set up right so that you can get a lot of ducks. First of all, sometime before you go out duck hunting you need to scout out a good area where all of the ducks are landing. You have to make sure you know where the ducks will be going in the morning or night. You also need to have permission if it is private land. You need the right supplies for going duck hunting too. When you get out to the field or pond that you…

Flamingos are fascinating and unique birds that demonstrate some of the oddities of evolution. From standing on one leg to gathering in flocks of more than one million, these large animals have been a subject of speculation for many years. Flamingos are large compared to most birds, as they stand 3.3-4.9 feet tall. Their large size would usually prohibit them from flying, but they have adapted to only weigh 4.4-8.8 lbs. They have hollow bones like most birds, and long skinny legs. The…

But bald eagles are famous for their harsh, cackling call, which the birds use throughout the year. Bald eagles mate for life, but when one dies, the survivor will not hesitate to accept a new mate. During breeding season, both birds protect the nest territory from other eagles and predators. 4 Bald eagles makes a large nest high in a sturdy tree, or sometimes on the ground if no tree is around.…

off to Nantucket http://www.care2.com/causes/produced-in-your-backyard-rethinking-energy.html to escape the stresses of city life. But the Massachusetts island also happens to be an important habitat for a seabird -- the piping plover. Now that the birds are doing well on the island from 139 breeding pairs (1986) to 689 pairs (2015), the headaches and complaints have also increased. The complaints have gotten so bad that the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) is considering relaxing…

It starts with one person, one idea, and one voice to start something big, to be the change one wants to see in the world, and to improve the world for future generations. As Wangari Maathai once said, “I will be a hummingbird; I will do the best I can”. The folktale of the hummingbird goes: there was a fire devouring the forest and while all the other animals sat watching, the hummingbird took one drop of water and put it on the fire back and forth as fast as it could. When the other animals…

Taking defense, I aimed my fist into its stomach, pummeling it as though it was a battering ram until finally, the bird crumpled. When it was apparent the peacock was no longer moving, I cast it aside. Examining my hands, I could now see they were scratched, covered in blood. What had I just done? To my horror, up above, I watched three more silver bird perches lower. I glanced to my side, now noticing the chaos ensuing all around. More peacocks were on the floor, charging, assaulting. Maidens…

Tree cavity is an important breeding- and nesting-site for mammals and birds. Thus, these animals often separate the use of the cavity, partially or completely. For example, the small Japanese field mouse Apodemus argenteus nests in low height cavity to avoid competition with Siberian flying squirrel Pteromys volans (Suzuki and Yanagawa 2012, Suzuki et al. 2014). In addition, Slagsvold (1978) showed importance of different breeding season between the pied flycatcher Ficedula hypoleuco and great…
