Species Accounts are smartly designed, utilizing font color and size to organize information and help the user quickly find it. Clearly, this is an under-birded country. . Van Remsen, Jr.

As you can easily judge from the dullness of this information, it is not something I made up but rather an appalling example of nepotism in the naming of birds. If you have always wondered what the minimum anesthetic concentration for isoflurane and sevoflurane for the Crested Serpent-eagle is, science has an answer.

The bird remained “lost” for 80 years until Captain Claude Grant rediscovered it in subtropical sandforest habitat thus disproving the Verreaux information. In 1964, Clancey’s “Birds of Natal and Zululand” raised the total to 590. Image by Adam Riley.

Some ill-informed American wannabe birder pretended to “ clear things up &# recently – causing concerns and chaos in the process - but thankfully rational and science-based heads in Germany prevailed and delivered the hard facts in the case. North America may currently feel very smug, safe and sound. This may change.

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. The text is divided into three parts, informational stories or ‘essays’ as Sibley calls them. How are they different?

The answer lies in the information I just provided; how long everything takes when you’re an albatross. It can take over a year to raise a chick for the larger species, and even species that can fit their entire breeding cycle into one year tend not to breed in consecutive years. So what is going on?

My friend Vickie Henderson , who has some serious long-range vision, looked at the science behind Tennessee’s crane hunting proposal and found it badly wanting. Letters from Eden (Houghton Mifflin, 2006) will soon be followed by a memoir about the birds she has raised, healed, studied and followed throughout her life.

Many, many things happened in the area of bird science this year, so this review can not be comprehensive. Birds are raised from the egg to follow a certain migration timing, but that timing shifts when the egg hatches later or earlier due to changes in conditions. With global warming, this has meant earlier hatching.

They can use this form of sensory input to navigate, integrating this information with other data to determine and adjust migration routes as adults. Another question this raises has to do with migration itself. Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 1046 (1), 282-293 DOI: 10.1196/annals.1343.026 Why migrate? 2 PIERSMA, T.,

It is mostly a question of economics – raising just one is troublesome enough given the resources required to feed and educate the chick. One interesting bit of information on these munias is that birds that inhabit areas with more mixed flocks sing simpler songs ( source ). Fortunately, they are quite common in Shanghai.

And I found this one because he was singing his heart out quite persistently, which certainly suggests a bird that wants to settle down and raise a family. Here is my reasoning: One sighting could indicate a vagrant bird, which is very, very cool, but not really significant for science. But they kind of are, down here.

Actually, as I just found out, this is not really new information. I have written about the interesting sex life of these jacanas a few times already (short version: female mates with male, lays a bunch of eggs for him to incubate and raise the chicks, leaves him, finds another male, repeat). But it is all for science, I hear them say.
