A young Green Heron fights city hall and wins!
[…]we got the call that a heron was running around the intersection of 7th and F in Arcata, we quickly drove over to investigate, finding nobody. As it turns out a citizen had already captured and delivered the bird to the Arcata City Hall. One of the hallmarks of being wild is that no permits are required to live your life. You are free to do as you wish. So there’s no real reason for a heron to visit government offices. If a wild bird does visit, chances are good that something has gone awry. An employee of the city […]

Murdering Crows
[…]of hunting crows. The Great Auk, buffalo herds coloring the plains – the Carolina Parakeet, species once so numerous that their wholesale slaughter happened without worry. In our time we might think of species preservation as protecting those endangered – not usually protecting those who are common. I’d just come in from a walk in a nearby field watching fledgling crows begin to explore their new home and found a message from a friend up north. He’d seen a brown crow, he thought, and wanted to know if it could be true. It wasn’t really that unusual for this person […]
Wildlife Services. “Opaque and Obstinate”
[…]numbers of wild animals that it kills each year. June 7 the Washington Post published the latest statistics reported by Wildlife Services. In 2013 WS agents killed over 4.4 million animals. Roughly half of those killed were native species, including River Otters, Bald Eagles, Black Bears, Bitterns, House Finches, Cougars, and Coyotes.(7) This is a nearly 25% increase over 2012’s 3.4 million killed, about half which were also native species. Why the increase? No explanation was offered. Characterized by Congressmember Pete Defazio as “one of the most opaque and obstinate” agencies he’s had to deal with, Wildlife Serivces operates in […]
Pine Siskins, starvation and salmonella
[…]that unusual – happening every few years or so – but over the winter, southern Canada and large parts of the United States saw the largest irruption in ‘recorded history’.* Irruptions occur when a critical food in a species’ wintering grounds is in short supply – for Pine Siskins this means conifer seeds, and Spruce seeds are a favorite – driving the birds south in search of a meal. Starving and desperate, backyard bird feeders must seem like the luckiest break in the world to them. Unfortunately, when large numbers of birds are concentrated at feeders, the condition are perfect […]
The Era of Climate Disruption and Caring for the Wild
[…]resources and materials at hand that enabled us to do what we needed to do in order to get the greatest number of spill-impacted wild animals back to their lives… The reason we had this funding was because of a few simple laws that mandate that oil polluters have to pay for the rehabilitation and restoration of the natural “resources” that are damaged by a spill. Without that law, no oil company would spend a dime cleaning up their mess – an obvious truth. What prompted the founding of Bird Ally X was our concern that the skills and protocols […]
Tangled Up and Bruised
[…]caught in the net, no injuries except for a few mild abrasions were noted. The net slipped off easily. After a quick examination, we realized that bird was indeed very lucky – no serious injuries, thin but not yet dangerously thin, and still very alert and strong. After the exam we put the Loon in our new seabird pool to test his feather condition. Again, he was in better shape than many – waterproof, immediately diving, able to stay in the cold water and thrive. Now all he needs is time to regain lost weight. The small scrap of net […]
Wilson’s Snipe Treated and Released
[…]her (or him) to recover. Soon s/he was able to detect light from shadow. Within 2 days s/he could easily find the mixture of insects, aquatic invertebrates such as blood worms, the bit of clover and other typical food items on which these birds thrive. Our purpose-built shorebird aviary made for a good place for the lucky bird to regain coordinated flight. After 10 days, s/he had recuperated and was ready for release. Taking the snipe back to the Elk River valley, as far from highways and structures as possible, the bird flew free, back to the wild contract and […]
A Letter to Humboldt County – Support the Ban on Hounding Bear and Bobcat – no on AB 2205
[…]many species, juveniles stay with their parents for their first winter, a relationship that can be easily disturbed by packs of hounds set loose in wild lands. Hound-hunting also poses inhumane risks for the hounds as well, who are in danger of becoming lost, injured, or killed. When hound pursuit of Black Bear was legal, it was typical for hound hunters to chase bear without killing. While only one tag is sold to each hunter, there was no limit to the number of bears and bobcat that could be pursued for the chase only. In 2012, according to the Bear […]
