It has been a long time since I have posted here (or much of anywhere). But this is dire, and every bird lover needs to know what is happening right now in the Congress of the United States. There is an attempt in Congress to defund the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, which is the law passed in 1918 that ended the wholesale slaughter of birds in the U.S. and Canada (and later Mexico, Japan, and Russia) for the purpose of adorning hats, etc., with their plumage. Defunding the Act would expose billions of birds to human predation, without consequence. Go here to see how you can help, by letting your congressional representatives know that you oppose this horrific bill. Please share everywhere you can. This is no joke. Thanks.
Which is the largest eagle? Not sure I agree with the video. How would you measure different species of eagles? Wing span? Weight? Talon size? And where is the Golden Eagle?
Not raptor specific, but about animals in general, this is an interesting article.
"Cogito Ergo Sum … Avis?" or "I think, therefore I am ... " A growing literature showcases the keenness of animal minds — and highlights the limitations of our own.
