Third, observing and photographing breeding birds and their young have become acts of ethical confusion as birders, photographers, and organizational representatives debate the impact of our human presence on the nesting process. Some people love books like that. Northern Flicker eggs in nest and nestlings.

This is a delightful book, large (8-1/2 by 11 inches), filled with Sibley’s distinctive artwork and an organized potpourri of research-based stories about the science behind bird’s lives. His art is beloved (if you have owned a Sibley calendar at least once in your life, raise your hand) and his bird expertise is widely respected.

Way back when I started what turned out to be my thesis research (on humans), it became important for me to learn about bird migration. I was involved in the study of human movement and navigation on land, and there was a lot of research coming out about bird navigation. Another question this raises has to do with migration itself.

As you can tell from this post starting with leaf warblers, the ornithological equivalent of watching paint dry (ok, a bit unfair and not really a good comparison anyway, but hey, write your own blog if you do not like mine). Daniel Gustafsson and coauthors looked at chewing lice of the Grey-headed Lapwing. You figure it out yourself.

Mallards , of course, bring new meaning to the term dabbling duck , what with all those wild mallard hybrids and domestic cross-breeds running around. Researching this single hybrid revealed that teals are as liberal with their love as mallards! The more I learn about ducks, the more impressed I am with their blatant promiscuity.

There is also a very nice comparison of the head and bill patterns of adult mollymawks, the medium-sized albatrosses. The description then goes into detail about adult (breeding and nonbreeding), juvenile, and immature plumage. This is the kind of material that makes this book special and essential for seabirding.

Given the complexity of the research, the result feels like a bit of a letdown – “northern populations start migration earlier than southern populations, especially in autumn” The species name of the Chestnut-eared Bunting is fucata , from the Latin “fucare”, to paint red. Guantanamo for frogs.
