Birds Korea - conserving birds and habitats in South Korea and the Yellow Sea eco-region. What Has Really Changed? Birds Korea, February 2nd 2014 In the ten years since Birds Korea was founded, the Republic of Korea (ROK) has hosted several high-profile international meetings relevant to bird and habitat conservation, including the Conference of the Parties (COP) of the “Wise Use of Wetlands” Ramsar Convention in 2008 and the World Congress Conservation in 2012. Later this year too, the nation will host the 2014 Convention on Biological Diversity COP. This conference, to be held in Gangwon Province in October, will provide national and global leaders with a wonderful opportunity to review the success of existing policies that relate to biodiversity conservation, and to modify these policies in line with existing conservation obligations.

On the surface, there has been tremendous progress in bird and biodiversity conservation in the past decade. Bird Declines While public attitudes in the ROK towards conservation have improved greatly, many bird species are still in decline. Birds. National Audubon Society Birds | Audubon. BIRDS AS ART.com.

Feathers do many jobs for birds. The color of the feathers can be used to hide the bird or to help the bird find a boyfriend or a girlfriend! Scientific information: Birds are a scientific "class". Oriental Bird Club Image Database : Welcome. Rare Albino Hummingbird Photographed by Amateur. A fifteen year old amateur photographer named Marlin Shank recently captured some images of an exceedingly rare creature: an albino hummingbird. Photography is a great way for people of all ages to connect with nature. Marlin Shank's photos of the albino hummingbird have been making the rounds on various online birding groups and Marlin's dad Kevin wrote a great nature photography lesson for Nature Friend magazine, which published the photos.

Albinism is a genetic condition that results in a lack of pigmentation in the skin, hair, scales or feathers of an animal. Typically an albino creature has blood-red eyes, which adds to its odd, otherwordly appearance. It's a relatively rare condition, and photographing such an quick-moving example of it as this albino hummingbird is a rare feat indeed. Photos by Marlin Shank/Nature Friend magazine.

A gynandromorph cardinal: one half male, the other half female. Reader Brian Peer sends us a photo of a “gynandromorph” cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis). A gynandromorph, as the name implies, is an animal that is part male and part female, with the sex-specific parts usually demarcated cleanly. Here’s Brian’s description of how he saw the bird: Your post this morning on Venus the Cat reminded me of a bilateral gynandromorph Northern Cardinal we found a couple years back in nearby Rock Island, IL. I’ve attached several photos of the bird. As you can see, the left side is male and the right female.

For two winters the bird appeared at the feeder of a retired high school biology teacher. And some photos: This, by the way, is a very graphic demonstration of the differences between males and females, with the brighter color of the male almost certainly reflecting sexual selection (with bright colors presumably advantageous in males because they attract females, but disadvantageous in females because they attract predators).
