	Sea Bird Ii
		Sea Bird is most famous for Group One victories in two of Europe's biggest races, the Epsom Derby and the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.
		Sea Bird was trained in France by Etienne Pollet, and the Derby was the only time that he ran in Great Britain, but the ease of his victory marked him out as one of the very best Derby winners in living memory.
		Sea Bird won comfortably, six lengths in front of Reliance, who was in turn six lengths in front of Diatome, who would go on to win the Washington International.

	Bird Listing Rules ~ Resources ~ American Birding Association
		The taxonomic status of a bird as a full species and thus its countability, is determined by the standard for the list on which the bird is to be counted.
		A bird is considered under the influence of captivity after its release until it regains the activities and movements of a bird which has not been captured.
		(ii) A nocturnal species released during daylight which goes to roost near the point of release is considered under the influence of captivity until the next nightfall, when it has left its roost and begun normal nocturnal activities.

	IPHC Sea Samplers
		Sea samplers are IPHC’s boots on the ground—fishing grounds, that is. For the management of the halibut fishery, sea samplers are key players who collect data, which are independent of commercial catch records.
		The roughly 25 sea samplers hired each year work aboard a fleet of twelve to fifteen IPHC charter commercial longline vessel and conduct the standardized setline stock assessment survey, which ranges from the southern Oregon border, north through British Columbia to the Bering Sea, and west to Attu island in the Aleutian Islands.
		The sea samplers’ primary directive is to collect catch per unit effort (CPUE) data; however, because the chartered vessels present a rare and valuable scientific research platform, samplers are also involved in mark and recapture experiments, sea bird studies, genetic sampling, oceanographic sampling, and much more.

	Sea Sick: Saving The Salton Sea
		During a two-day trip to the sea in May, the pair hunted for newly-hatched larval fish that school in protected pools along the northeast shoreline, and found nearly all the fish infested.
		Worms and other small sea floor organisms absorb the selenium, as do the fish that eat them and the bigger fish that eat the smaller fish, and the birds that eat them all.
		The sea's accidental pedigree -- it was formed in 1904 when the Colorado River broke through an ill-conceived levee system -- is one reason given for the lack of environmental groups' concern until now.

	The Turkey-Buzzard
		I have found birds of this species apparently very old, with the upper parts of their mandibles, and the wrinkled skin around their eyes, so diseased as to render them scarcely able to feed amongst others, all of which seldom failed to take advantage of their infirmities.
		In the adult, the head and upper part of the neck are destitute of feathers, having a red wrinkled skin, sparsely covered with short fl hair, and downy behind.
		The olfactory nerve has been ascertained in the mammalia to be the instrument of smell; but in the class of birds, experiments and observations are wanting to determine its precise function, although analogy would lead us to suppose it to be the same in them.

	Wilson's Plover
		The air is warm and pleasant, the smooth sea reflects the feeble glimmerings of the fading stars, the sound of living thing is not heard; nature, universal nature, is at rest.
		Long have I known the bird myself, and yet desirous of knowing it better, I have returned to this beach many successive seasons for the purpose of observing its ways, examining its nest, marking the care with which it rears its young, and the attachment which it manifests to its mate.
		The young birds assemble together, and spend the winter months apart from the old ones, which are easily recognised by their lighter tints.

	BIRDS OF PREY - Conservation & Research
		Diurnal bird of prey species have become endangered or threatened due to poaching, pollution, and habitat destruction.

		Having diurnal birds of prey at zoological parks provides the opportunity for the public to learn about these animals and how human activities impact their environment.

	Longline Fishing Threatens Sea Birds and Other Marine Life
		Sea birds are disappearing for a variety of reasons, including breeding site disturbance, disease, and pollution, but the greatest threat to albatross and petrel species worldwide is longline fisheries.
		A report by the American Bird Conservancy highlights the use of streamer lines, a bird-scaring device that may help reduce the incidental bycatch of sea birds.
		Unregulated, pirate Patagonian toothfish catching is responsible for killing hundreds of thousands of sea birds and for causing a decline in Patagonian toothfish populations as well.

		Bird feathers were found in the debris of the crash, which appeared to suggest that this accident was the result of a bird, though this theory is debated.
		In July 2006 Sea King HC.4 helicopters from RNAS Yeovilton were deployed to Cyprus to assist with the evacuation of British citizens from Lebanon.

	Sea Birds
		This unique bird seems to spend its winters miles from land, living right on the ocean, and comes to shore only to nest.
		In some parts of the world a ring is placed snugly around the bird's neck so that it cannot swallow its catch, and it actually taught to bring fish back to its trainer for a reward.
		But it is interesting to note that if a predator such as an eagle or hawk enters the nesting area, the gulls will immediately attack in forces of 100 or more, chasing the intruder away or even forcing it into the water to drown.
