Selon l’une de ces philosophies la réalité authentique et ultime de l'univers ne peut résider qu’en des formes parfaitement immuables, invariantes par essence. Selon l’autre, au contraire, c’est dans le movement et l’évolution que réside la seule réalité de l’univers.” Jacques Monod, Le Hasard et la Nécessité (1970) “We shall never fully understand nature (or ourselves), and certainly never respect it, until we dissociate the wild from the notion of usability.” John Fowles, The Tree (1979).

As such, we are including the sightings from this day trip in the overall tour report. We departed the Hotel at 05:40 for the drive to the National Park. En route we stopped along the road to view a beautiful Turquoise-browed Motmot.

  • Excavating the Wolastoqiyik Language
    1 (Submitted to Wulustuk Times, January 2012) EXCAVATING THE WOLASTOQIYIK LANGUAGE Mareshites, Marasheete, Malecite, Amalecite, Malecetes, Ma'lesit, Maleshite, Malicetes, Malisit, Maleschite and many more spellings. So many variations of one name. The Maliseets, as we refer to them today, never called themselves by that name before the white man came here. It was assigned to them by others. The first recording of the name was by Gov. Villebon at Fort Naxouat (Nashwaak) in a letter to Monsieur Jean- 2 Baptiste de Lagny (France's intendant of Commerce), Sept 2, 1694 in which he describes their territory: The Malicites begin at the river St. John, and inland as far as la Riviere du Loup, and along the sea shore, occupying Pesmonquadis, Majais, les Monts Deserts and Pentagoet, and all the rivers along the coast. At Pentagoe't, among the Malicites, are many of the Kennebec Indians. Taxous [aka Moxus] was the principal chief of the river Kinibeguy, but having married a woman of Pentagoet, he settled there with her relations. As to Matakando he is a Malicite. [Madockawando was an adopted brother of Moxus. In 1694 he was Chief on the Wolastoq] Over the years there have been various explanations of the proper spelling and origin of this word. Vincent Erickson wrote in the "Handbook of North American Indians" that the name Maliseet "appears to have been given by the neighboring Micmac to whom the Maliseet language sounded like faulty Micmac; the word 'Maliseet' may be glossed 'lazy, poor or bad speakers.' " Similarly Montague Chamberlain, in his Maliseet Vocabulary published in 1899, suggested that it was derived from the Micmac name Malisit, "broken talkers"; John Tanner in 1830 gives the form as Mahnesheets, meaning "slow tongues" and states he was given that name by a "native." In 1878 R.

The speci- mens include the first published Guadalupe records for 10 species: the Ring-necked Duck (Aythya collaris), Long-billed Curlew (Numenius americanus), Bonaparte’s Gull (Larus philadelphia), Ash-throated Flycatcher (Myiarchus cinerascens), Warbling Vireo (Vireo gilvus), Tree Swallow (Tachycineta bicolor), Yellow Warbler (Dendroica petechia), Magnolia Warbler (Dendroica magnolia), Yellow-headed Blackbird (Xan- thocephalus xanthocephalus), and Orchard Oriole (Icterus spurius). A specimen of the eastern subspecies of Brown-headed Cowbird (Molothrus ater ater) and a sight record of the Gray-cheeked Thrush (Catharus minimus) are the first reported from the Baja California Peninsula (and islands). A photographed Franklin’s Gull (Larus pipixcan) is also an island first. Currently 136 native species and three species intro- duced in North America have been recorded from the island and nearby waters.

We enjoyed great weather for birding, with almost no morning rain throughout the trip, and just a few delightful afternoon and evening showers. Comfortable accommodations, iconic landscapes, abundant, delicious meals, and our charismatic driver Luís enhanced our time in the field. Our group, made up of a mix of first- timers to the tropics and more seasoned tropical birders, got along wonderfully, with some spying their first-ever toucans, motmots, puffbirds, etc. on this trip, and others ticking off regional endemics and hard-to-get species. We were fortunate to have several high-quality mammal sightings, including three monkey species, Derby’s Wooly Opossum, Northern Tamandua, and Tayra. Then there were many www.tropicalbirding.com +1-409-515-9110 [email protected] Page Tropical Birding Trip Report Costa Rica: The Introtour | July 2017 superb reptiles and amphibians, among them Emerald Basilisk, Helmeted Iguana, Green-and- black and Strawberry Poison Frogs, and Red-eyed Leaf Frog.

  • Appendix D5 Restore Seabirds to Baja California Pacific Islands
    Appendix D5 Restore Seabirds to Baja California Pacific Islands Appendix D5 Restore Seabirds to Baja California Pacific Islands Appendix D5 Restore Seabirds on the Baja California Pacific Islands The Natural Resource Trustees for the Montrose case (Trustees) have evaluated a variety of seabird restoration actions for the Baja California Pacific islands in Mexico. These islands support a wide range of seabirds that nest in or use the Southern California Bight (SCB). Restoration efforts would target a suite of seabird species, including the Cassin’s auklet, Brandt’s cormorant, double-crested cormorant, California brown pelican, ashy storm-petrel, and Xantus’s murrelet. To streamline the evaluation of these actions, the general background and regulatory framework is provided below. Detailed project descriptions are then provided for the following islands: (1) Guadalupe Island, (2) Coronado and Todos Santos Islands, (3) San Jeronimo and San Martín Islands, and (4) San Benito, Natividad, Asunción, and San Roque Islands. The actions discussed in this appendix do not cover all of the potential seabird restoration actions for the Baja California Pacific islands; therefore, the Trustees will consider additional actions in the future for implementation under this Restoration Plan, as appropriate. D5.1 GENERAL BACKGROUND The Baja California Pacific islands are located in the northwestern portion of Mexico, off of the Pacific coast of Baja California (Figure D5-1). Of the 12 islands or island groups (18 total islands) in this region, nine present unique opportunities for seabird restoration. Three of these islands or island groups (Coronado, Todos Santos, and San Martín) are oceanographically considered part of the SCB.

Maliseets have not a written language, nor have I been THEable to obtain any evidence that they ever used characters or symbols of any sort neither letters nor hieroglyphics for the representation of words. A few samples of their picture writing have been discovered, but these are extremely crude and simple and do not suggest any systematic methods for the conveyance of " " ideas. Nor was the so-called reading of wampum belts, that we have heard about, the rehearsal of a story told by characters on the belt. That was simply the recital of an oral tradition which depended upon the "reader's" memory for its accuracy.
