Watch beautiful bird migration

Bird migration is nothing but the normal seasonal voyage undertaken by birds. This will be a fantastic sight for the bird watcher lovers. The bird migration can even happen in our backyards

The climatic changes in the length of the days make some hormonal changes in the birds which tends them to migrate

Birds usually migrate to long distance and the most common one is the migration of birds to north in spring and returning to their home place during winter. Migration can also take place due to some other reasons like food availability, weather, habitat, etc

During migration birds can fly to a height of about 500 to 2000 m. Some birds fly to a height of 6, 800 m and the swans fly to a height of about 8,000m. And the Bar-Headed Geese is found to fly at a height of about 9,000m

Vishayan spotted deer-world rarest animal

The Visayan spotted deer is one of the world's rarest mammals.

The Visayan spotted deer was not recognized as a separate species until 1983.

The range of the Visayan spotted deer is essentially the same as that of the endangered Visayan warty pig, which is subjected to the same threats.

Much of the destruction of the forests of the Visayan Islands, which are home to this deer, may be attributed to landless peasants and indigenous tribal groups who moved into these areas to clear temporary agricultural plots, especially after lumber concessions were terminated and the sugar industry became depressed. These plots are known as kaingin, and their soil is rapidly exhausted and new plots must be cleared every few years. Tropical storms wash the sparse topsoil off of the bare hillsides into the sea

White-nose syndrome

Caver photographer in 2006 February took a shot of bats some 40 miles west of Albany, New York who all had an unusual white substance on their muzzles. The photographer also noticed some dead bats. The following winter irregular behavior of the bats, bats with white noses and the dead bats in the caves all came to the attention of the New York Department of Environmental Conservation biologists.

The biologist noted that this was due to white nose syndrome and documented it on January 2007. Hundreds of thousands of hibernating birds have died. The biologist, agencies, and the organizations all over the country are still trying to find a solution to this unknown mystery.

Many have found sick and dead bats in unprecedented number in and around the caves and mines. During hibernacula the bats move to the cold parts. They fly during the day and in the cold winter weather if the prey for them is not available they start to exhibit some uncharacteristic behavior.

Despite of the research to find the source of this unknown mystery the solution remains unknown. The recent identification of the cold loving fungus could be a first step for the answer.
