10,000 Birds

JULY 28, 2011

Whether I am speaking about Henslow’s Sparrows and Upland Sandpipers of the east and Midwest that occupy tall-grass prairies or birds like Ferruginous Hawks and Mountain Plovers of the western short-grass prairies; all deserve our attention. This was back in 2003 so it is hard to say where those numbers fall now.

But, I didn’t expect that Henslow’s Sparrow would have a page-full repertory of sounds: Song (3 different types), Whine series, Seet series, Seet and Tseew night calls, Tink calls and Tsit calls. It includes sounds made by American Goldfinch, Bachman’s Sparrow, Hooded Warbler, Magnolia Warbler, and Red-winged Blackbird.

Sometimes, I’ll reply with a story about the sparrows found in a local grasslands preserve. I’m not going to try to explain why people are fascinated by hawks; human-to-avian psychology is not my specialty. What is it about raptors that fascinates so many people? Or, I’ll wax poetic over a Hooded Warbler. It’s a Bald Eagle, a hawk.

No human can divine what a mated pair of geese or eagles may feel for one another, but stories abound of birds,especially Canada Geese , who spurned all offers from members of the opposite sex for years after a mate was killed. In 2003, I raised three orphaned ruby-throats from the early pinfeather stage to release at around 30 days of age.
