By Tina Kelley Early on a bright July morning, on a sloping hill above Washington State's Padilla Bay, Lloyd Demcoe is suiting up, attaching his headphones securely to his cap, checking his batteries, and emptying the half-dozen pockets of his homemade green apron. Tapes, microphone, tape recorder, and mosquito netting are accounted for. The 71-year-old retired counselor and former minister is ready to go birding. Demcoe doesn't carry a field guide or binoculars, because a hunting accident left him blind at 17. ("A man thought I was a bear, and that changed everything," he says.) So when he sets out with his wife, Primilia, aiming to add to his life list of 200 or so bird species, he carries a tape recorder and a highly sensitive microphone. Later, back home in Westbank, British Columbia, he will play any unfamiliar calls or songs over and over, faster and slower, until he can match them to sounds on his audio field-guide collectionsthe same tapes I play in my car on long trips. "You hear about 80 percent of the birds," says Demcoe, "but you don't see 80 percent of the birds."

    http://www.birdsnways.com/wisdom/ww5eiii.htm
    
    Extractions: There are a number of reasons why identification of a bird is important. These include proof of ownership, governmental requirements, identification of lost or stolen birds, and tracking of birds for breeding purposes. The ability to identify a bird also acts as a deterrent to smugglers and the illegal bird trade. Thus it has a positive impact on saving birds in their natural environments. The most widely accepted means of identification of birds today is the leg band. Microchipping and DNA fingerprinting are alternative methods which are gaining in popularity. Many people prefer these newer methods for a variety of reasons. However at this time, the leg band is required by many governmental organizations. For this reason, it is important to understand as much about banding as possible. This article will discuss the different types of bands, the reasons for their use, the issue of band removal and the methods of tracing a band. It is intended to present information so that bird owners can make their own informed decisions.

    Extractions: AMAZON RAINFOREST WORKSHOP TOPICS Our workshop field sessions are inquiry oriented, demonstrating interconnections among living organisms and environmental conditions. The stage is set for you to gain a first-hand appreciation for the importance of science and research in rainforest conservation by observing, questioning and using various investigation techniques including: data collecting, recording, and analysis; observing and describing different rainforest habitats; identifying relationships between the distribution of animal and plant species; using taxonomic keys to identify flora and fauna; and reading aerial photographs. The field sessions take place Sunday through Friday at: 1) Explorama Lodge; 2) Explornapo Camp; and 3) Amazon Conservatory of Tropical Studies (ACTS) near Iquitos, Peru. Workshop participants stay overnight at each location, rotate through a series of field experiences, and have the opportunity to interact with all workshop leaders. Each morning and afternoon field session is three hours and limited in size for one-on-one instruction. The workshop format also includes school visits, trading with the Yagua Indians, early morning birding, night walks and evening river explorations by boat.

     Extractions: Secretary of Agriculture Clifford Hardin introduces Woodsy Owl, whose motto, "Give a hoot! Don't pollute," influenced millions of schoolchildren at the height of the environmental movement. Popular culture has long been a source of powerful ideas about nature and environmental ethics, and historians may find rich sources in media campaigns aimed particularly at children. In 1899 Florence Merriam married Vernon Bailey , a naturalist with the USDA's Bureau of Biological Survey (headed by her brother, C. Hart Merriam), which may explain why her Handbook of Birds of the Western United States (1902) combined popular natural history's narratives and ornithology's telegraphic phrases. Entries began with the bird's number on the American Ornithological Union's taxonomic list and its scientific name, continued in small type with terse descriptions of the bird-in-hand, its nesting habits, and its range, then shifted to larger letters and sentences for personal recollections, anecdotes, or life-history. Her husband Vernon, interestingly enough, and not Florence wrote this idyllic description of the quail's family life. "Fig. 191" (see page 114) used black-and-white photo reproduction to show a bobwhite quail skin prepared for a museum drawer. The limits of museum specimens for field identification seem to have been clear; no other guide used them, though some authors, faced with the problems of photographing live birds with the cameras of the day, used pictures of stuffed ones.
