I visited Hong Kong from February 20-27, 2014. I read that the Peak was a great place for thrushes in winter; experience proved the veracity of that observation, but you’ll need to examine the underbrush closely. Hundreds massing at Mai Po, many coming into breeding plumage. Lots and lots of birds! 9 Little Grebe.

The authors themselves–Rob Hume, Robert Still, Andy Swash, Hugh Harrop, and David Tipling–collectively have 100s of years of birding and photographic experience. The chapters, however, offer very good introductions to each bird group. What about a table on golden plovers?”

Gorman’s personal field experience informs much of the text and his total grasp of the field means he relates one research finding to another with narrative ease. I do wish that Gorman included more of his personal experiences and stories in the natural history tradition of ornithologists like Alexander Skutch.

The goal of Around the World For Penguins is simple: Describe the 18 species of penguin and their breeding grounds “from the perspective of a traveller.” Plantema gives highly detailed information about the weather, terrain, ownership of and access to the islands and coasts where penguins breed.

Well, we then thought to ourselves that we would not see one again until 2014. There have been a lot of different birds around this year for various reasons, which mainly involve the climatic changes we experience from year to year. How wrong we were! They must have decided it was worth wandering further north this year!

Several years ago, I read about the enormous colonies of breeding birds in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands and I did some research to satisfy my curiosity. ( Google Scholar is an excellent resource and free full-text PDFs can be located for many papers, particularly when research is taxpayer-funded. It is helpful to have a sample paper.

Nonprofit organizations, science, and the best intentions in the world came to the rescue with a captive breeding program, and we now have over 400 Pink Pigeons living in Mauritius, the nearby island of Ile aux Aigrettes, and the zoos hosting the breeding program, including the Bronx Zoo. Is this the type of avian experience we want?

The four authors, themselves field ornithologists, conservationists, birders, and writers with years of experience in southeast Asia, researched scientific studies ranging from early 19th-century descriptions of the birds of Java to the latest phylogenomic studies.

I know how intense some birders can be), I can tell you from experience that there are some exquisite, stunning odonates flying around there.

So, all this makes birding this place an occasionally less than pleasant experience. A paper on breeding of the species was actually researched right here at Wawushan. Indeed, positive assortative mating, based on culmen length, tarsus length, and body mass, was found across breeding pairs.

Since Craig Robson’s “Birds of Thailand” (2002) is taxonomically outdated, the choice was Robson’s “Birds of South-East Asia” (the updated second, 2014 edition of the 2001 classic). The paintings are, no doubt beautiful, but how successful they are, I can judge only by checking those birds I have a lot of experience with.

Penguins are also bellweathers of climate change; dwellers of remote areas you’ve (probably) never heard of; creatures who have developed unique, innovative ways of adapting to the harsh environments where they breed and rear chicks and the water environments in which they feed and swim.
