All three species mentioned in this article breed on these islands, but the Piratic Flycatcher employs a truly piratic strategy: the breeding pair targets a recently built woven nest, often by a Yellow Oriole or Yellow-rumped Cacique but they have also been recorded targeting the nests of other flycatchers.

The wood stork occurs and breeds in Central and South America. I have seen them foraging on sandy shores of rivers deep in the Amazon, enjoyed them in their raucous breeding colonies in the Everglades, flushed them out of canals during walks around my house, and perhaps more importantly contribute to their recovery.

Frigatebirds don’t occur in the cold waters of the coast of Peru and Chile, but Band-tailed Gulls (Larus belcheri) have developed similar strategy. Instead of hovering, some gulls have set up territories within breeding colonies of Humboldt seabirds. And the story repeats itself multiple times during the day.

In Sydney, refuse is an important constituent of the diet during the breeding season (HBW), and a study conducted in 1970 describes a number of strategies by which these gulls steal food from Crested Terns. This makes the marketing of a Queensland vacation home as Silver Gull Court a bit questionable. Feel free to call me shallow.

During the breeding season, some Cattle Egrets look like teenage girls who have just discovered the existence of make-up, and consequently massively overdo it. While having somebody else raise your chicks like an attractive strategy to me, it is not without dangers. It is probably all downhill from here. What’s next?

Of the sixteen pairs of Pied Oystercatchers between Gantheaume Point and Willie Creek on the south side, which is a length of breeding territories covering 23 kilometres-just over 14 miles-only one chick fledges most years. Each pair has a strategy and sometimes it is successful and sometimes it is not.

Its population actually fluctuates in response to the availability of Spruce Budworm and though it nests on the ground it is entirely inseparable from the forests of the north during breeding season. Even more surprising is that Tennessee Warblers often molt and migrate simultaneously, a strategy that few other birds take advantage of.

Groups may also contain up to 10 male and female non-breeding helpers, usually offspring of the group produced in prior years 1. The result of this cooperative breeding strategy is that fledging success increases with group size and survivorship is also significantly higher for all birds living in these larger groups 1.

Horned Larks breed widely over North America, including up here in the High Arctic. They are fed by one or both parents, even after they’ve fledged and left the nest.

We are into the second attempt at breeding for this season in Broome for Pied Oystercatchers. These parents have a strategy where they nest away from the reef and then walk the chicks the 2 kilometres there within a few days of hatching. We had one pair attempt 5 times in 2009, so they don’t give up easily!

In China, wherever there is one real tourist attraction (like the Great Wall), the local strategy seems to be to add some fake attractions – replicas of palaces or tombs, amusement parks, shopping centers – in order to maximize the income from tourists. But the starting point has to be a real attraction, not a fake one.
