Helping Birds in a Changing World
Do you think birds are interesting? Do you like spending time outdoors? Do you care about wildlife and the environment (环境)? If you answered yes to these questions, you might think about becoming a bird biologist. Bird biologists are scientists who study birds.
Birds are interesting for many reasons. Birds have a lot in common, but at the same time,
　　　　　　　　　　　　　 they can be very different from one another. All birds have feathers, and most of them can fly. They are in different sizes from hummingbirds smaller than your fist (拳头) to ostriches taller than the tallest person. Ostriches can't fly, but they can run about 70 kilometers an hour!
Bird biologists work to understand more about birds, their habits, and their homes. Some kinds of birds are dying off because they travel a long way during migration (迁徙). In North America, birds travel to northern places in the summer and to more southern places for the winter. Bird biologists are studying how and where birds get hurt along the way and trying to help them. But that's not all bird biologists do!
Beth Flint is a bird biologist in a wildlife refuge(野生动物保护区) near Hawaii. She tracks (追踪) all the different kinds of seabirds in the refuge. She enjoys working outside, but she also works in an office. She reads research studies about all the animals in the wildlife refuge, and makes plans to help protect them, especially the birds. She talks to volunteers about the wildlife in the refuge, too.
To become a bird biologist, Dr. Flint studied many fields that all connect. She learned about wildlife, forestry, biology, zoology (the study of animals), botany ( the study of plants ), and ecology (生态学). Her interest in seabirds started when she was a student. She saw a photo of Atlantic puffins on a rock and wanted to learn more about them.
You never know where your interests may lead (引领) you. They may lead you to become a scientist who studies wildlife! (E7206003)
