Apo near Davao City, PEC is the site of a Philippine Eagle conservation breeding program. So, I highly recommend reading “In The Aerie Of The Philippine Eagle” , by Greg Breining an excellent article published in the September 2017 issue of Living Bird , the magazine of the Lab of Ornithology, before or after viewing the film.

I visited Tengchong in late 2020 and wrote about it – but I also went there earlier, in 2017, and this post shows some photos I took during that trip, along with the usual comments that seem to be much more about ridiculing my fellow humans (especially ornithologists and the like) than providing useful information on birds.

They can be challenging to identify, especially if you haven’t seen one before, though with experience they are not really so difficult. On their breeding grounds in Spain, Lesser Kestrels are very much city birds, for 95% of the population nests in towns. Perhaps some females remain, too, but I didn’t see any.

All the so-called grey geese – Greylag, Bean, White-front, Lesser White-front, Swan – look very much alike, and it takes experience to identify them by their calls and their shape and size. Explaining the increase in the number of sightings is difficult, as the Siberian breeding population is declining.

Greeney, also part of the Helm Identification series, it focuses on two avian families, combining the information necessary for identification with the latest research on taxonomy and behavior, particularly breeding behavior, and the latest conservation news and status. I love reading the descriptions of these birds’ breeding behavior.

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.

Covering 1,261 species with data and taxonomy current up to August 2017, the field guide is an exciting achievement. The guide covers the all–1194 species in the Species Accounts, including 959 native breeding species, 219 Nearctic migrants, 8 breeding visiting species, and 5 introduced species.

Greater Adjutants are huge birds that were once widespread across much of Southeast Asia; today there are two small breeding populations in India and Cambodia. There is no experience comparable to birding a dump, and, I have to say, I have never experienced a dump like this one. Bring on 2017! 4) Small Pratincole.

Other papers are locked behind paywalls.) That research ultimately led to an article about the conservation efforts regarding the Laysan Duck in the June 2017 issue of Birding. This paper, which was cited in the paper we just discussed, conducted the relevant experiments: Addison, Jason A., It is helpful to have a sample paper.

The guide covers 747 breeding residents or regular migrants, 29 introduced species, and 160 vagrants, a total of 936 species. Only one species of penguin breeds on the Australian mainland; five additional species breed on sub-Antarctic islands. These “vignettes” are sadly limited due to space considerations.

A friend of 10,000 Birds, he talked to Corey about his mission to create this guide in 2012 and wrote about his goal to create a Spanish-language version of the guide in 2017. Many birders are familiar with Gallardo’s fundraising initiatives, which included a speaking tour in the U.S., Europe, and Honduras itself. Conclusion.

I was a bit surprised to see a juvenile Grey Treepie in Shanghai – it seems too young to already be on migration, and there was an adult nearby, so most likely the species is breeding in Shanghai, along with approximately 24 million humans.
