Birds Of Tanzania yet to take this a stage further and to analyse the data available for other countries in an attempt to understand where our birds spend the nonbreeding season http://home.no.net/stenil1/TZbirdatlas/tzatlas.htm
Extractions: As the sub title suggests this is not just about mapping the distribution of birds in Tanzania. By collecting data on a monthly basis and concentrating on evidence of breeding we hope to understand much more about the seasonality of our birdlife. It is sometimes difficult for people unfamiliar with the tropics to understand how different animal and plant life cycles can be without the all pervasive effect of a harsh winter. Even the ubiquitous

Fact Sheet: Penguins Describes the physical traits, breeding, behavior, and natural predators of these flightless sea birds. Also explains the differences between the individual species. http://www.asoc.org/general/penguin.htm
Extractions: Updated: July 24, 1998 Penguins are flightless sea birds of the Southern Hemisphere. In all, there are 18 species of penguins, found in South Australia, New Zealand, and off the coasts of Peru, Chile, and South Africa. Some species live as far north as the equatorial Galapagos Islands, but they are primarily cold-weather birds. There are seven species of Antarctic penguins: the Adelie, Gentoo, Macaroni, Chinstrap, Rockhopper, King, and Emperor. The Adelie and the Emperor are the two true Antarctic species. Penguins have a heavier skeleton than most birds, waterproof feathers, and specialized glands that extract and excrete excess salt. Their feathers, which even cover their bills and feet, combine with a thick layer of fat to insulate them. This works so effectively that the birds frequently overheat in the frigid waters. They vary, by species, from the sixteen inch, two and a half pound Little Blue penguin of Australia to the truly Antarctic sixty-six pound Emperor penguin, which stands more than three and a half feet tall. (The Emperor has actually been recorded at up to ninety pounds.) Penguins swim like other birds fly. Their wings have not disappeared, nor have they become vestigial, useless appendages. Instead, they've evolved into flippers. Penguins use highly developed muscles to flap their wings to move forward, and they guide themselves with their tail. They are the only bird to "porpoise." That is to say, they launch themselves out of the water, momentarily flying in fluid arches as they continue to swim forward at high speeds like dolphins. Penguins do this in order to breathe, but porpoising also creates air bubbles that reduce friction during swimming. Gentoo penguins are thought to be the fastest of all swimming birds, achieving speeds of thirteen to seventeen miles per hour.

Winter Sparrows Like mammals, amphibians and reptiles, birds belong to the phylum Chordata. All birds are endothermic ("warm-blooded") and covered with feathers, and most have the ability to fly. Birds evolved from reptiles about 130 million years ago. There are an estimated 9,000 species of birds in the world. Approximately 900 occur in North America and more than 400 have been recorded in Missouri. More than 150 species regularly nest in our state. The variety of color, size, behavior, songs and nests in the bird world, and of course the magic of flight, make birds a wonderful part of outdoor Missouri.

Extractions: Breeding Bird Surveys Related Links USGS Bird Checklists of the United States - Idaho Falls District Birding in Idaho USGS Patuxent Bird Identification InfoCenter Since 1985, official Breeding Bird Surveys have been conducted on the INEEL. The Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) is a roadside route survey of avifauna designed to monitor abundance and distribution of birds in the United States and southern Canada. Data from these censuses are one of the main sources of information on avian population trends across the continent. These surveys are conducted in June every year. BBS surveys on the INEEL have yielded useful information about population dynamics of native birds, effects of weather and fire on avian abundance, and the breeding status of a number of bird species of concern, including sagebrush obligate species and other species exhibiting declines through their range. 113 bird species have been identified on the INEEL during the 1985 - 2002 Breeding Bird Surveys.

Tropical Bird Fanciers Organization dedicated to expanding the understanding, protection and breeding of birds. http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/5322/
Extractions: Visit Lake Havasu Online! We are a growing club of approximately 70 members. We are a diverse group of pet owners, breeders, veterinarians,pet shop owners, and wholesalers, as well as those that just love birds. We have members knowledgeable in almost every breed from Finches to Macaws. Located in Lake Havasu City, Arizona , we are positioned mid state on the far western border. In the heart of the Mohave Desert, Lake Havasu makes up 45 miles of a 90 mile section of the Colorado River between Davis and Parker Dams. Our summer temperatures often reach 115 degrees and above throughout July and August, which brings about many bird keeping problems specific to heat. Being dedicated to expanding the understanding, protection and breeding of birds, we are always vigilant for new information, and most willing to share any knowledge we have to uphold our oath to make this a better world for our feathered friends; understanding their nature to better provide for their true needs; protecting them from those who only seek profit and care little for their welfare; breeding, not only for the enjoyment of others, but to purify bloodlines, and save those breeds on the brink of extinction. We now have our newsletter, "SQUAWK TALK", online. We hope that it along with links from this site, will help to better educate anyone that desires to know more about the wonderful world of birds. There are many other sites world wide with information on their specific area, and as we review those we find, we will add their links to our page.

Extractions: Results from the survey have illustrated a number of key points: Other declining farmland bird species are widely distributed throughout the AONB. These are skylark, yellowhammer and linnet. All these species are found at above average population levels, making the Chilterns a very important area for their conservation. Other species are not faring quite so well in the AONB. Grey partridges have a very limited distribution and are found in poor numbers. They are mainly confined to the southwest corner of the Chilterns. Lapwings have a very poor population, with only a few hundred individuals left in the Chilterns. Tree sparrows and turtle doves were not recorded at all in the survey.
