Come to think of it, there’s no reason the women won’t want them as well.

What? No Red-cockaded Woodpecker briefs? Or Andean Cock-of-the-rock? How about some little Manakins for the Young Birders?

Pretty damned funny but seems a tad risque for BWD.

Definitely Julie’s handiwork. Hairy woodpecker or American woodcock… That was probably Bill’s idea.

‘Mermaids’ battered by boats

“Each year, about 87 manatees are killed by collisions with boats, the single greatest cause of premature mortalities. This is more than seven times number of manatees that the Fish and Wildlife Service estimates can be killed without impairing the species’ recovery. Meanwhile, boating in Florida is at an all-time high and increasing with more boats in the water…”. Another good example of why the International Year of Biodiversity ought to matter.

Residents Crying Foul…

…over Common Peafowl. Seems that Longboat Key, Florida, has way too many of the gorgeous gregarious birds and has to continually cull the flock. And Longboat Key isn’t the only community in the U.S. with a peafowl problem: apparently California and Texas locations have had issues as well. So introducing non-native birds because they are pretty might not be the best idea? Who would’ve thunk it?

Say Hello to the Limestone Leaf-warbler

Is a new Old World warbler better than an old New World warbler? You be the judge! A new species, dubbed the Limestone Leaf-warbler (Phylloscopus calciatilis), has been discovered in the karst limestone regions of Vietnam and Laos. As ever, BirdLife International has the scoop.
