This page provides information that will help you find answers to the first two questions and describes some organizations and programs that are working to restore extinct species or to keep endangered species from becoming extinct. The Alberta Special Places Page tells you about Alberta's six distinct types of habitat on which species depend. It is our belief that an important way to protect species is to provide long term protection for at least a portion of their habitat. For many people, the term ' endangered species ' brings to mind Read More Go to Site All About the Andean Condor Votes:0 All about the Andean Condor Once extending to Tierra del Fuego through the Andean mountain range of South America, the Andean Condor came perilously close to extinction due in part to aggressive hunting.

The uses of predatory tools are as unique as the species possessing them. They range from talons which seize prey in flight, as with the great white owl, to claws that may sweep the feet right out from under an animal, such as the bobcat stalking a rabbit. Many animals also use their claws to bury their prey, caching it as it is called, so that they may return for it at a Read More Go to Site Birds of Nova Scotia - Black Vulture Votes:0 Family Cathartidae Black Vulture Coragyps atratus (Bechstein) Status Four records. One killed at Pugwash, Cumberland County, on 12 January 1896 was sent to taxidermist T.J. Egan, in Halifax where it was examined by Piers (1897). Another killed at Owl's Head, Halifax County, on 1 December 1918 was sent to taxidermist L.A. Purcell, in Dartmouth (Piers' notes). The third was seen at Linacy, Pictou County, on 22 July 1936 by Alban Brown, who became familiar with this species and the following one when he lived in Florida before coming to Nova Scotia. The fourth was well studied by Betty June and Sidney Smith at Cape Sable one autumn in the early sixties.

Breeds. Ospreys first arrive in late March or early April (average 5 April, earliest 15 March) and are widespread by May. They are most common in summer around shallow bays and estuaries, nesting on islands, shorelines, and occasionally far from water. There are distinct movements from mid-August through September, but last sightings of the year may be much later (average 22 October, latest 8 December). One on Brier Island was hovering over a trout-stocked pond on 13 January 1969 and next day was seen near the lighthouse (W.L. Lent).

Preventive strategies, such controlling vegetation around orchard tree trunks and field borders, can help with meadow mice and gopher control. Common non-chemical methods include shooting, trapping, and flooding. While these methods can be very effective, they are not without limitations; flooding is not always possible, and trapping and shooting can be very time-consuming and impractical where large areas are infested. Birds of prey can contribute to vertebrate pest management, especially in fields located near riparian areas. While raptors are seldom relied upon as the primary means of vertebrate control, they can, with a Read More Go to Site Birds of Prey Foundation Votes:0 About the Foundation Who We Are What We Do Educational Programs Statistics & Release Rates FAQ Take a Tour Flight Enclosures ICU Care & Handling Handling Raptors Quality of Life Toe Splints Hatchlings Banded Birds Educational Info Hawk Facts Owl Facts Barn Owl Boxes Raptor Nest Boxes Kestrel and Screech Owl Boxes Get Involved Donations Our Thrift Shop Wish List Membership Adopt an Orphan Adopt a Bird Creative Sponsors Corporate Sponsors Volunteer what's New 2007 Fall Migration Celebration 2007 Open House Sign up for E-News We are a non-profit 501(C)(3) organization whose mission is: treating injured and orphaned wildlife, primarily raptors, such as eagles, hawks, falcons and owls and return healthy members of the breeding population to their natural habitat; fostering compassion for wildli Read More Go to Site Birds of Prey Quiz Votes:0 Knowledge Master Home 100,000 Questions Academic Competition Free Questions How to Order Try more weekly quizzes on other topics Weekly Quiz Demonstrate a fearless pursuit of auk ademic auk cellence by plunging, head-first of course, into these questions.

The eagle, according to Franklin, was a "sharper," a robber, and "frequently lousy." It may well be that even by that early date the bald eagle was showing unpleasant symptoms of living in proximity to people, because studies of the big bird done in relatively undisturbed areas of Alaska show that the bald eagle is in fact a bold and versatile predator. In Alaska bald eagles will take prey ranging from sea otter pups and sea-birds to spawning salmon. They also consume carrion, which is an important food source for young birds.

The Osprey (Pandion Haliaetus) Wisconsin Status: Threatened Federal Status: Not listed The Osprey, also known as the fish hawk, eyes its dinner while hovering over the open water. It plunges gracefully and quickly into the water feet first to grab a slippery fish. The fish wiggles and squirms, but the powerful talons, or claws, help to keep the fish from escaping. The bird rises out of the water carrying its prey headfirst. Ospreys can't swim and may drown if their claws get stuck into a large fish. Osprey are summer residents in Wisconsin. You may spot one while visiting a wetland, inland lake, or one of the Great Lakes over summer vacation. Ospreys are listed as threatened on Wisconsin's Endangered Species List.

Ospreys are fish hawks that have brown and white markings on their feathers. They can soar on wind currents, but most of their flight is active (with wings flapping.) Ospreys hunt alone, flying over the water looking for fish. Then they plunge into the water feet-first and grab the fish with powerful talons (claws.) Ospreys need to catch about 1 - 3 fish a day. A father osprey, who must fish for 2-3 babies and a mate, has to catch 6-8 fish a day. Ospreys are specially built to be fish-hunters. For one thing, the bottoms of their feet have many short spines which help them to hang onto a slimy fish. Ospreys have extremely sharp talons and a strong hooked beak for tearing fish into bite-sized pieces.
