Seabirds are one group of birds that go for the latter strategy. The species readily takes to nesting in small artificial boxes, and the scientists of PRBO Conservation Science have over 450 such boxes scattered across the island to monitor the species. Some birds pump em out by the dozen in the hope that at least one or two survive.

However recent research has shown that they are in fact not baboons, despite superficial appearances, and they are now just called “Gelada”. We were able to spend hours sitting right in amongst super-groups of 500-600 Geladas that just carried on with their daily business in total oblivion to our presence. Photo by Adam Riley.

This is more than eBird reports–a checklist generated from the citizen science database lists only 1,413 species. But, the numbers are quite large, and the birds organized in groupings that, for the most part, make it an easy process to figure out which Antwren (or Woodcreeper or Seedeater) is which.

At least in the northeastern United States, their rate of so doing is high, according to research I summarized here. This of course raises questions of what happens when all of the inland nesting grounds of all the loons becomes covered with glacial ice during ice ages, then later, the ice melts and the lakes return. . –

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.
