Book excerpt: In this compelling book, Rien Fertel tells the story of humanity’s complicated and often brutal relationship with the brown pelican over the past century. This beloved bird with the mythically bottomless belly—to say nothing of its prodigious pouch—has been deemed a living fossil and the most dinosaur-like of creatures. The pelican adorns the Louisiana state flag, serves as a religious icon of sacrifice, and stars in the famous parting shot of Jurassic Park, but, most significantly, spotlights our tenuous connection with the environment in which it flies, feeds, and roosts—the coastal United States. In 1903, Theodore Roosevelt inaugurated the first national wildlife refuge at Pelican Island, Florida, in order to rescue the brown pelican, among other species, from the plume trade. Despite such protections, the ubiquity of synthetic “agents of death,” most notably DDT, in the mid-twentieth century sent the brown pelican to the list of endangered species. By the mid-1960s, not one viable pelican nest remained in all of Louisiana. Authorities declared the state bird locally extinct. Conservation efforts—including an outlandish but well-planned birdnapping—saved the brown pelican, generating one of the great success stories in animal preservation. However, the brown pelican is once again under threat, particularly along Louisiana’s coast, due to land loss and rising seas. For centuries, artists and writers have portrayed the pelican as a bird that pierces its breast to feed its young, symbolizing saintly piety. Today, the brown pelican gives itself in other ways, sacrificed both by and for the environment as a bellwether bird—an indicator species portending potential disasters that await. Brown Pelican combines history and first-person narrative to complicate, deconstruct, and reassemble our vision of the bird, the natural world, and ourselves.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The California brown pelican (P.o. californicus) is a subspecies of the widely distributed brown pelican and is the smallest of all the pelicans in the pelican family. The California brown pelican breeds along the Gulf of California from the Sinaloa and Nayarit coast of Mexico, along the Pacific coast of Baja California, and north to the California Channel Islands. Non-breeding pelicans can be seen along the Pacific coast all the way to the up to the state of Washington and British Colombia. There were huge California brown pelican losses from about 1940 to 1970. The species was listed as endangered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in 1970 and a year later, it was enlisted as endangered by the California Fish and Game Commission. The California brown pelican is a fully protected species under California Fish and Game Code, Section 3511. Delisting of the species as endangered is finally being considered, and this would be a happy announcement for those of us who love this fascinating bird. So how did the California brown pelican become endangered? It became endangered primarily as a result of the pesticide DDT. The shells of the nesting birds became so brittle that they cracked and were destroyed during the nesting process. It was sad for the California brown pelican, but the good thing was it alerted the California people to the dangers of DDT, and this led to the passage of several environmental protection laws in the late 1960 s and the early 1970 s. And DDT was finally banned in the United States in 1972 amid public outcries against the pesticide. However, before DDT caused declination of this species, humans disturbing the breeding colonies and roosts caused a lowering of their numbers and this also interfered with their reproduction. To top it all off, oil spills and entanglement in fishing tackle further damaged the species (and continue to damage this species). There were few California brown pelicans to be seen during the 1960s and 1980s, but now they can finally be seen again long the U.S. West Coast! The California brown pelican is a true Comeback kid! The Photographs by John D. Weigand were taken with reverence at the direction of this author off the coast of La Jolla, California, where the California Brown pelicans thrive at a place called the La Jolla Cove."

Book excerpt: Through a hundred short vignettes accompanied by stunning avian portraits, Bird Brains takes a look at the antics, behaviors, and idiosyncrasies of wild birds from the viewpoint of a professional wildlife biologist and award-winning wildlife photographer. Titlow understands the often wild and wacky lives of birders--those who are always ready and willing to drop everything at a moment’s notice and "twitch off" to some exotic locations just to add another checkmark to their life lists. His engaging stories, complemented by vivid images, provide a fascinating compendium of wild bird lore perfectly suited to the 65-million-plus birders across the United States.
