I wasn’t confident that I would find any birds at all in early February, but though numbers were small at each site, several individuals were present, and there were noisy territorial displays, despite the absence of females. The hovering is generally for shorter periods than that of Common Kestrels, with less wing flapping.

Though I usually do not mention this in public presentations, as kids (or fathers) might be present in the audience. So, as a preemptive strike, I present to you the Golden-headed Cisticola. On a side note, the bird is also kind of ugly, so maybe the chicks never seeing their father has a certain protective function.

In the mid-1970s, a local breeder was burglarized and a few of his birds escaped, after which the breeder released his remaining stock of about 50 birds 1. And the last one shows the stats from 2013 to the present. Like most dove species, Eurasian Collared-Doves are prolific breeders.

This laughingthrush is a cooperative breeder – nestlings are fed by all members of a group, often 6-12 (not just 2 as in Wham!): “A female may share a nest with another, and 3 or more adults may take turns incubating the eggs and feeding the chicks.” ” ( source ).

Smooth-billed Anis were relative newcomers as breeders to Florida, having only begun nesting since the 1930s. Significant amounts of habitat along Krome Avenue in western Miami-Dade as well as Everglades National Park remain, but even the colonies present at Anhinga Trail and Eco Pond have disappeared — a true mystery.

Helpless chicks in the nest and free-flying juveniles were present during my visit at the beginning of December. It was thought that later nests with smaller clutches were either replacement clutches from a failed nest or from low-quality breeders. The storks begin to arrive from August and will usually be sitting on eggs by October.
