I photographed it at Gorleston, on the Suffolk coast, on 5 September 2020, but I discovered that bird had been rung, as an adult, at nearby Great Yarmouth on 16 November 2013, so it was probably already nine years old, and could well have been older. Sadly, it wasn’t, as the bird was still flying strongly.

In fact, if I remember correctly, it was 2013 when I first noticed (from an office window) a huge collection of sticks at the crown of a large immortelle tree. A female American Redstart showed up, but all attention was quickly diverted to a group of Channel-billed Toucans that had just arrived.

Flamingos find love in groups, and their courtship ritual always requires relatively large gatherings. The group to the left is still caught in the head-shaking phase. Yes, in 2013 you probably had expected an embedded video, but I am old enough by now to not be ashamed of my 20th century roots.

It gets very confusing when I’m trying to look at subspecies descriptions in multiple field guides (“Slate-Colored Fox Sparrow” in Sibley West, for example, is “Western Slate-colored Group” in Stokes West).

Two of those vocal groups are shown by birds in Costa Rica and neither of those are heard in South America.

Vegetation is a key ingredient, and Klem cites a 2013 study that found “bird strikes were correlated positively to window area and negatively to development. The more glass, the more bird kills. A greater number of buildings in a concentrated area without intervening green space results in fewer birds and fewer killed.”
