Otherwise, why would eBird call it a “heavily built, flat-headed dark blue bird”, which sounds more like a description of a robot or a piece of machinery than that of a beautiful bird? See the video links at the end of the post for an illustration of this lifestyle.

Last year there was a spate of books specifically about bird “behavior” – though one might well say that every book about birds, from field guides on up, is about behavior in some way or another. The page or two of text for each bird has some good stuff, not all pertaining to migration. A “broad spectrum,” indeed.

When people think of birds and their sex lives…most of us don’t know much, although it’s not for a lack of interest. Within the bird world, so many different strategies and methods of mating and reproduction have evolved, it simply boggles the mind. This is just a small slice of how birds get it done.

Aesthetic charm is probably a big part of making a bird interesting to outsiders, and unfortunately most gulls fall fairly short in both form and voice. But cute is not the same as interesting, as a brief survey of OKCupid will tell you just as well as birds can. And what about lifestyle? Not all, though. What say you?

Redgannet is a proponent of the patient, sit and wait approach to birding which suits his beery, weary lifestyle and commonly finds him taking a nap until the worst of the excitement and the headache has passed. A similar feature behind the head would presumably come in useful if the bird should ever need to reverse into a tight space.

More curious was the owlet-nightjar, an already obscure group to begin with, but made all the more astonishing by virtue of its flightless and ground living lifestyle.
