Tweet and Sour Songbird endangered in France hunted as a culinary delicacy		19 Sep 2007	News
Posted at 4:32 PM on 19 Sep 2007 Ortolan is a French delicacy: a tiny songbird, roasted whole and swallowed in one bite, bones and all. Ortolan hunting has been banned in France since 1998 to protect the species, but the birds have a high price on the black market, and as many as 30,000 a year are fattened up and sold by poachers to high-end chefs. Apparently freedom fries just aren't good enough for them. source: Assoc ...

This Makes Us Blubber Pacific gray whale population may still be severely depleted		11 Sep 2007	News
Posted at 1:50 PM on 11 Sep 2007 The Pacific gray whale, long held up as an environmental success story, may not have made as impressive a comeback as once thought. Thanks to a widespread ban on commercial whaling, the Pacific gray whale became the first marine mammal to be taken off the endangered species list in 1994. When whales began dying off around 1999, scientists assumed populations were naturally stabili ...

Posted at 7:50 AM on 04 Sep 2007 Wildlife agencies have been scrambling to make up funding shortfalls in the last few years due at least in part to a drop in the number of hunters and fishers and the revenue-generating licenses they buy. According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, hunter numbers have declined about 10 percent between 1996 and 2006, down to about 12.5 million from 14 million, due in part to t ...

More Words on Birds On attracting wildlife	Umbra Fisk	27 Aug 2007	Ask Umbra
Hi Umbra, I agree with your analysis of bird feeders, and would like to share a win-win solution. I have a huge variety of birds that visit my yard year-round. Instead of bird feeders, I have planted an abundance of native plants, including trees, bushes, and groundcover plants that provide berries, seeds, nesting material, and shelter throughout the year. In addition, I use organic gardening methods, and spread worm castings f ...
