10,000 Birds

NOVEMBER 5, 2013

There were three profound questions my birding group discussed while we birded Trinidad and Tobago, back in December 2012: (1) How many Bananaquits could fit on a banana?

Proposal 2013-A-5 would remove the Hawaiian honeycreepers out of their own subfamily (Drepanidinae) and place them in the subfamily Carduelinae near the rosefinches, which a 2011 study showed to be their closest relatives. This change has been needed and tracks with our best understanding of finch relationships. Shearwater split.

Here are three excellent but very different children’s books I enjoyed this year (two were published in 2013, one in 2011). The targeted age group is 6 to 11 years. Only, instead of a group of children going on scientific adventures with their teacher, a band of five young bluebirds go on bird watching adventures on their own.

Ultimately, we want to group together species that have the same derived trait into a single clade, and then sort out that clade with other more finely tuned traits.

I was in contact with a group of birders for whom I arranged and guided an annual tour to Africa. They are large passerines and research has shown them to be an ancient basal offshoot from the passerine tree (at approximately the same time as rockjumpers, were even placed in the same family until quite recently). Is there a solution?
