Some examples of birds that are of particular concern are subspecies such as the eastern Bewick’s Wren, the California population of the Black Rail, the eastern Painted Bunting, and the Gulf Coast population of the Snowy Plover; and full species such as the Bicknell’s Thrush, Brown-capped Rosy-Finch, and the Buff-breasted Sandpiper. These are also birds that exemplify the range of threats that birds face today, ranging from habitat loss to climate change.

HORICON — Six whooping crane chicks are expected to be released into the wild later this week at Horicon National Wildlife Refuge.

  Hooray for the firefighters!

Whenever I see old fishing line where I can actually reach it, I try to cut it down and dispose of it.  Hate that stuff.   

Me too Carol, if I walk on the shore of a pond or lake, I just look down. Always find some sort of trouble object!

An owl that was trapped in old fishing line hanging from a tree along the Puyallup River was rescued by Tacoma firefighters this week.

OOPS!!!     Was thinking of Elsie & Einstein! Sorry. Now I get the Eagles mixed up! 

Thanks Nora! 

 

I guess they didn't care for their new man made nest. Building their own in another tree!



10-25-12 - You can tell the progress in the nest building just from the 17th of October to the 25th (this picture).

  Hope this is Durand after the fact!
