Download or read book The Long wattled Umbrellabird written by Tanya Turner and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-04-13 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At first sight, you might mistake the Long Wattled Umbrellabird for a crow. Come to think of it, the Long-Wattled Umbrellabird is almost the same size as a crow. Since it's black, it is also the same color as a crow. That's where their similarities end because they're so much different from each other. The Long-Wattled Umbrellabird, as a whole, doesn't look like an umbrella. Only its wattle part can be compared to a long folded umbrella - although it looks more like a long pine cone when inflated. The wattle can inflate and deflate. The wattle is the folded skin hanging from the neck of the bird. Compared to the typical birds that you see in your garden, Long-Wattled Umbrellabirds are big. They can measure about 20 inches in length, so that's about the size of a human baby. Excited to learn more about the Long-Wattled Umbrellabird?

Download or read book No More Time written by Greg Delanty and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2020-10-07 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In No More Time, Greg Delanty offers a celebration of the natural environment that also bemoans its mistreatment at the hands of humans. The collection’s long sequence, “A Field Guide to People,” is an alpha-bestiary of twenty-six sonnets, each a meditation on a species of flora or fauna that is thriving, endangered, or extinct. Evoking an earthly heaven, purgatory, and hell for plants and animals, these poems function also as love letters to the biosphere as they connect the past with the present in both form and content. In the middle of this sonnet sequence, a section labeled “Breaking News” gives voice in poetry to the political state of our planet with a balance of pathos, wit, and hope. Delanty stresses the deep underlying connections within and between the natural world and humankind, rather than the fragmented world stressed at the beginning of the twentieth century. No More Time witnesses the effects of climate change and presents a vital view of what remains at stake for engaged global citizens in the twenty-first century.
Download or read book The Birds of South America written by Robert S. Ridgely and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 1989 with total page 956 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A land of incredible natural resources, the South American continent is rich in plant and animal species. Among birds alone, over 3,100 species are either resident or migrant. Birds are some of South America's treasures and also one of its most endangered resources. Hence the need for a descriptive record of South American birds that will serve both professional and amateur bird students and encourage conservation of these magnificent species. Although South American birds elicit much popular and scientific interest, they have never been completely or satisfactorily described and cataloged in a single, published source. The Birds of South America, projected to be a four-volume work, thus fills a critical void. Starting from a museum approach, the authors have examined specimens of each subspecies, comparing them visually and trying to discern the patterns in their plumage variation, both intra- and inter-specifically. They take a new look at bird systematics, reassessing relationships in light of new information. Perhaps most important, they combine this review and analysis with extensive field observations to give an accurate, incisive portrait of the birds in nature. At a time when rapid development is devastating millions of acres of tropical habitat in South America, this record of an endangered resource becomes crucial. If the birds and other plants and animals of South America are to be saved, they must first be known and appreciated. The Birds of South America is a major step in that direction. Volume II includes the Ovenbirds and Woodcreepers, Antbirds, Gnatcatchers, and Tapaculos; Tyrant Flycatchers; and Manakins and Cotingas. The remaining volumes of The Birds of South America will be: Volume III: The Nonpasserines (Landbirds) Volume IV: The Nonpasserines (Waterbirds) No release date has been set for the remaining volumes.
