Ravens and all birds are considered to be messengers. As I speak there are 4 outside picking up the deer corn. Do I consider this a message. No. But last year one came and sat on the top of the gazebo and wouldn't shut up. Very annoying. About an hour later the phone rang. My daughter had just been rushed into the hospital in premature labor. What's really great about the ravens is they have a plan. About 10 or more get together and each has it's own job. One takes one road and the other ones have thier own road to monitor. When one finds food, they call to the next one, which calls to the next one and pretty soon all of them are there eating. Owls on the other hand are considered messengers of death or soon to be dead. So watch those hooters. Oh, and usually if you see an eagle, a raven is not far away. Well, where I live anyway. I just answered this ? yesterday. Now as i sit here typing, there's a Bald Eagle sitting out on the ice in front of our house. And inching closer. The only thing I can figure is, the ravens were here yesterday eating. If he's bringing a messenger... This has never happened before. Maybe I should go out there. Oh...he's walking this way!! For true.

what kind of project report are you doing? a comparative study on airlines regarding which airlines gives the best service, the most comfortable seats? the least boring long flights? \n\nor are you doing a case study on how airlines unwittingly cause the spread of a disease from one endemic place to another place, where the disease is not normally found? for example, malaria or avian flu

Bird flu is spread by migratory birds and traveling people.

Birds Fly South for the Winter when it gets too cold or too hard to find food. Where they go at the south depends on kinds of bird. There is migration map for different kinds of birds.If the map doesn’t show where a certain  bird is in the winter, the chances are that it leaves North America and heads for South America where the seasons are reversed. Check out these link sfor a samples of bird's route:\nhttp://www.nature.org/animals/birds/features/art17705.html\nhttp://www.birds.cornell.edu/AllAboutBirds/studying/migration/range_maps\n\nHundreds of bird species fly south to escape cold weather. About 250 species – including songbirds, shorebirds and raptors – fly as far south as Mexico, Central and South America and the Caribbean. \n\nHawfinches, Coccothroustes coccothroustes, breed in Russia but overwinter in Japan and Korea, and the Evening Grosbeak, C. respertina, migrates from New England where it overwinters to Michigan where it breeds. The White-winged Scotia breeds in central Canada, but winters on either coast.♥

It's too cold for them up north. We get all the birds down here, in the Winter time. Actually we have birds all year round. Just different ones in the Winter.

Once birds get up in the air, they use two main flying techniques to stay up there.\n\nSoaring: When birds soar, they take advantage air currents to help hold them up. Three kinds of air currents are especially helpful to soaring birds. \n\nThermal air currents develop in places where the air is warmer in one spot than an adjoining area, such as a paved road alongside a snowy field. Even on a very cold day, the sun will heat the pavement at least a few degrees more than the snow. This slightly warmer air is slightly lighter than the colder air, and rises. This rising air current can lift very light objects, like feathers and hollow bones. The birds that most often take advantage of thermals (like the hawks that fly along coastlines) usually have very wide wings and tail. This makes the area of their wings very large compared to their body weight. \nUpdrafts, also called obstruction currents, develop when wind hits an obstruction, like a cliff or a building. The rushing air has to go somewhere, so it goes up, and can carry a bird up with it. Birds who fly on updrafts (like the many hawks that migrate along Hawk Mountain, Pennsylvania) also have very wide wings and tail. \nWind moving toward a bird with spread wings can hold the bird up, thanks to the airfoil shape of the wings. Birds that fly on moving air currents often have long, narrow wings, such as gulls and albatrosses. \n  \n \nFlapping: When birds flap, the stroke of their downbeat moves the wing tips forward and downward. The wingtips make a loop at the bottom of the downstroke, and as the wings move up, the wing tips move upward and backward. In the downstroke, the pressure is higher below the wing than above, causing lift. And as they move forward, the rush of air on their airfoil wings causes more lift. But because flapping birds have smaller wings than soaring birds, they must move forward faster to stay in the air. Most songbirds must fly at least 11 miles per hour to stay up. One scientist calculated that for an ostrich to stay aloft, it would have to take off and maintain a minimum speed of 100 miles per hour. Birds who use their wings to flap more than soar often have smaller wings than soaring birds.

Birds.\n\nBirdwatching or birding is the observation and study of birds (the science proper is termed ornithology). The term "birding" is of American origin; "birdwatching" is the more commonly used word in the United Kingdom and Ireland.\n\n"Twitching" is a British term used to mean "the pursuit of a previously-located rare bird." In North America it is more often called "chasing", though the British usage is starting to catch on in N. Am., especially among younger birders. The British term is said to come from the frenzy that descends on some when they receive news of a rare bird. The term may derive from one of its first proponents, who used to arrive on his motorbike in freezing weather in the early 1960s, still "twitching" from the cold. The end goal of twitching is often to accumulate species on one's lists. Some birders engage in competition with one another to accumulate the biggest species lists. The act of the pursuit itself is referred to as a "twitch" or a "chase". A rare bird that stays put long enough for people to come see it is called "twitchable" or "chaseable".\n\nTwitching is probably most highly developed in the United Kingdom, The Netherlands and Ireland because their small sizes make it possible to travel within their borders quickly with relative ease. The most popular twitches in the UK have drawn crowds of up to 5,000 people at any one time (Golden-Winged Warbler in Kent). Twitching is also highly popular in Finland and Sweden. In the United Kingdom there exists a particular twitchers' vocabulary which is surprisingly well-developed and potentially confusing for the uninitiated. In the UK for example, "dipping" is the act of missing the rare bird you tried to see, "gripped off" is how you feel if other twitchers see the bird but you didn't, "supression" is the act of concealing news of a rare bird from twitchers, and a "dude" is someone who doesn't know much about rare birds at least. Similar vocabularies have developed in all countries where twitching is popular. Twitchers often have mobile phones and (especially in Europe) pagers in order to keep constantly informed of rare bird sightings and weather. The latter is important, since the right winds can lead to drift migration from the east or "Yankees" caught up in the tail end of hurricanes from the west.\n\n\nSome birdwatchers are keen rarity seekers and will travel long distances to see a new species to add to one of their "lists", e.g., life list, national list, state list, county list, etc. These fanatical birders are commonly known by the light-hearted slang term twitchers, particularly in the United Kingdom (though non-birders often mistakenly use twitcher as a synonym for birder or birdwatcher).

I would call your local health department and alert them. If you pick up the birds use gloves and place them in some type of receptacle so they can be transported. I think in this day and age it would be helpful for you and the public.

Yes, the Monarch Butterfly, during its migration in winter.  It travels almost non-stop to the south where its warmer, as much as 1,870 miles covered.

THE Eurasian steppes are a vast belt of grassland extending from\neastern Europe through western and central Asia to north-east\nAsia. The five threatened species which occur in the east Asian\nsteppes include four which also range westwards outside the Asian\nregion, Imperial Eagle, Lesser Kestrel and Great Bustard to Europe,\nand Pale-backed Pigeon to Central Asia. They occur in a variety of\nhabitats in addition to lowland grasslands: Imperial Eagle inhabits\nforest-steppe, and some forest conservation measures are relevant\nto the species (see F01); Pale-backed Pigeon is found in open,\nsparsely wooded habitats in the mountains; and White-throated\nBushchat breeds in mountain grasslands. The lakes and other\nwetlands in the steppes are important for threatened waterbirds, and\nare covered in W05.\n■ Key habitats Steppe grasslands, forest steppe and mountain\nsteppe, scrub in sandy desert.\n■ Altitude Lowlands to 3,100 m.\n■ Countries and territories Russia (Krasnoyarsk, Khakassia, Tuva,\nIrkutsk, Buryatia, Chita); Mongolia; China (Heilongjiang, Jilin,\nInner Mongolia, Xinjiang, Gansu); outside the Asian region, the\nsteppes extend through central and western Asia to eastern\nEurope.
