OCTOBER 28, 2015

After my post about collecting two weeks ago I received a bit of feedback, some positive, some negative, and I’ve been mulling it over with the intention of writing about some of the issues that could be considered the root cause of the disagreement. You see, the bird was collected for scientific study.

The Moustached Kingfisher was known by only three samples– one female “collected” in the 1920’s, the other two females “collected” in the 1950’s, according to an Audubon Magazine article. The justification was ridiculously laughable: in order to further study the species. Can a dead bird educate the researcher on its song?

A final thought: whether you think collective nouns are fascinating or idiotic , the more fundamental question is, why do they exist at all or, rather, how did they come to be? In short, the Birder Murders are getting better and better as they come off the presses, with A Shimmer of Hummingbirds the most dazzling of all — so far.

He noted that this new bird had longer bills and “darker loral and auricular regions” than the mainland Brown-headed Nuthatch, and collected two of them for science. That makes the two study skins that Bond collected even more significant, Weckstein says. Courtesy of the Free Library of Philadelphia, Rare Book Department.

The concrete ramp collects seaweed as the tide pushes back and forth. In this part (sorry Corey) all those tundran breeders seem to have followed the path most flown. This individual was seen from the ferry jetty on the estuary of the River Thames in the UK. The seaweed, in its turn attracts insects and thus birds.

Observers have noted these colorful crows flying up to 18km to and fro from an old oakwood when collecting acorns. They are normally shy and relatively secretive woodland birds, but at this time of the year when they are in full acorn-collecting mode, they become much bolder and more conspicuous. It’s a different matter in the spring.
