If you’re a homebody who cherishes your quiet time, you most likely don’t want a talkative breed that requires constant exercise, for example. Although every dog is a unique individual, there are characteristics that are inherent in certain breeds which could help you find the right dog for your personality type.

A simple, useful world map in outline shows approximate breeding ranges in yellow and wintering ranges in blue, and for some birds, permanent resident ranges in green. Some birds with populations on different breeding grounds move not to the same winter quarter but to far-distant ones – such as the Red-necked Phalarope.

It has an extensive entry in the HBW (for example, there is an entry on its molt that is longer than the complete species entry for many other bird species), indicating that it probably lives in comfortable proximity to a large number of ornithologists.

For example, the main islands are the world’s only granitic ocean islands and at 750M years of age are also the world’s oldest ocean islands. That antiquity produces a high level of endemism, e.g. 19% of 62 breeding birds are endemic to the islands! Seychelles’ small landmass combined with geographic isolation results in few species.

The endangered Golden-cheeked Warbler breeds only in Texas Hill Country near Austin and San Antonio, but much of its nesting grounds have cleared in favor of subdivisions. For example, a developer building a subdivision will likely harm warbler habitat even though that is not the goal of the development.

There I found a study which showed that the ingenious little birds had found a protein source that allowed them to coincide their breeding with times of man-made, rather than natural seasonal abundance.
