A sweeping 15,000 private acres - arguably the most pristine hunting ground in the Dakotas - beckon the consummate outdoorsman. Rolling hills, virgin prairie, sheltered woodlands, open meadows and forested creeks harbor adventure... Numerous coveys of Pheasant and Wildfowl Herds of Whitetail and Mule deer Dams choked with Largemouth Bass And one of the nation's newest and most exclusive hunting lodges: Bad River, located on a 100-year-old family-owned ranch in the rugged heart of South Dakota, is groomed for wildlife in it's natural habitat. Home to abundant wild pheasant and some of the largest whitetail deer in the state (in 2000 we recorded a 7 by 6 with 199 gross points), the ranch regularly plants both cover and feed crops to attract a variety of wildfowl and buck as well as prairie dog, coyote and other game. Acres of the land also are designated as hunting preserves, which allows for exclusive early and late-season hunting. The trophy size animals are as common as the ranch's panoramic sunsets.

LANDSCAPING TO ATTRACT BIRDS Backyard Birding page, which is brought to you courtesy of the Baltimore Bird Club . Send any comments to Terry Ross at tross@bcpl.net Table of Contents INTRODUCTION BENEFITS OF LANDSCAPING FOR BIRDS BASICS OF LANDSCAPING FOR BIRDS PLANTS FOR WILD BIRDS ... READING LIST INTRODUCTION Among the fondest and most memorable moments of childhood are the discoveries of songbirds nesting in the back yard. The distinctive, mud-lined nests of robins and their beautiful blue eggs captivate people of all ages. Likewise, the nesting activities of house wrens, cardinals, chickadees, and other common birds can stimulate a lifelong interest in nature. As people learn to enjoy the beauty of birdlife around their home, they may wish to improve the "habitat" in their yard so that more birds will visit their property. You can attract birds by placing bird feeders, nest boxes, and bird baths in your yard, and by planting a variety of trees, shrubs, and flowers. These can provide good nesting sites, winter shelter, places to hide from predators, and natural food supplies that are available year-round. Back to TABLE OF CONTENTS BENEFITS OF LANDSCAPING FOR BIRDS At least ten benefits can be derived from landscaping to attract birds to your yard: Increased Wildlife Populations You can probably double the number of bird species using your property with a good landscaping plan.

We have done our best to tell these birds' stories as honestly and gently as possible. Mickaboo Cockatiel Rescue is currently experiencing a larger volume of needy birds than we have ready resources for. As compared to all of our years of existence, so far, in 2004, we have taken in more injured, ill, and otherwise challenged birds than ever before. In order to properly care for the birds we have taken into our care, we are being forced to temporarily discontinue intake of new birds at this time. We hope to be able to rebuild our resources very soon and reopen our doors to all needy birds. In the meantime, we ask for your patience and support.

129. Vitamin A Deficiency In Parrots And Other Birds Describes the most common preventable avian disease, Vitamin A deficiency or hypovitaminosis A, which particularly affects pet birds that eat only seeds. http://www.multiscope.com/hotspot/vitamina.htm

Dealing With Vitamin A Deficiency in Birds by Hannis L. Stoddard, III, DVM Vitamin A deficiency can be disastrous for your bird but it's preventable The most common preventable avian disease that we see at our practice is hypovitaminosis A, or vitamin A deficiency, with or without accompanying secondary infections. Pet birds that eat only seeds (especially sunflower seeds and peanuts) are most prone to this problem because an all-seed diet is low in vitamin A. When vitamin A deficiency occurs, the cells that line the respiratory, reproductive and digestive tracts undergo structural change, making them unable to secrete mucous. Since mucous acts as a protective blanket to prevent invasion from pathogens (disease- causing agents), vitamin A deficiency allows environmental bacteria and other microorganisms to penetrate the mucous membrane barrier and set up "housekeeping" within these tissues. Symptoms of vitamin A deficiency depend on which organ system is affected (for instance the reproductive, digestive, or respiratory tracts) and which microorganism or combination of microorganisms is invading the patient. The respiratory system is the most often affected. Since the mouth and sinus are also lined by the cells that are compromised, you need only look inside the bird's mouth to see the early signs of this deficiency. Initially, you see small white plaques on the roof of the mouth and/or at the base of the tongue. The plaques ultimately become infected, forming large, obvious abscesses. The abscesses can distort the glottis (opening of the windpipe), causing labored breathing and eventually mechanical suffocation. The abscesses can even grow so large that they block the choana (the slit in the roof of the mouth). When this happens, the bird will exhibit profuse nasal discharge and obvious swelling around the eyes. The pain from these pockets of infection will eventually cause the bird to starve. The microorganisms can also spread throughout the bird's body with disastrous consequences.

We would like to thank everyone for coming out during Bird of Prey Week. The weather for the Hawk Out! was a bit unpredictable but we were still amazed at the turnout. We are happy you came and hope to see you again! In case you were wondering just how many birds we see during the migration, please check out the interactive statistics pages . These pages are updated on an almost daily basis by our hawk watcher. Many of you were able to participate in our banding demonstrations. At the right you can see a harrier being held by one of our banders. It's really something to see these birds up close. We noticed a lot of interested faces during the brief demonstrations. We would also like to thank everyone who adopted our banded birds. Your donations go a long way towards helping us maintain our banding research. If you're lucky the bird you adopted will be seen again and you might be surprised at where it will turn up! Here's to a great remaining spring and hopefully a wonderful summer! Thank you, Braddock Bay Raptor Research International Migratory Bird Day May 8, 2004
