The Red-crowned Crane is listed as Vulnerable, with an estimated 3000 individuals in 2009. Some populations – especially the Hokkaido one – seem to be doing quite well. On Hokkaido, the number rose from 33 in 1952 to about 1200 now, with the bird presumably benefiting from its symbolic importance for Japanese culture and its […]
My human surprised me the other day by bringing home a tiny, cat sized shopping cart! She found it at World Market. I don’t know why they were carrying them. I do know there was only one there, and that was the incentive for my human to buy it. She knew it was meant just […]
I’ve just returned from the Shetland Islands. You might be expecting me to start writing about the amazing colonies of Northern Gannets Morus bassanus or Atlantic Puffins Fratercula arctica, among others.

One of my human’s favorite times to photograph me is in the late afternoon. And one of her favorite places for portraits is this spot in the backyard. But this is the first time she really took note of the shadows the fencing created around me. At first she mostly saw the shadows as an […]
“You don’t like shorebirds?” my birding friend asked me in a tone of surprise, shock, and a tiny bit of horror. We had been talking about summer and I imagine that when she exclaimed happily, “Soon it will be time to go to the East Pond for shorebirds!” my face betrayed me. “I love shorebirds,” […]
