Our first Pied Oystercatcher eggs for this year’s breeding season were laid early and were due to hatch last weekend. This pair of Pied Oystercatchers never seems to have a problem with incubating their eggs. They take it in turns over the twenty eight days sitting or hovering over the eggs. Pied Oystercatcher egg.

The fully fledged Pied Oystercatcher chick is the bird on the right. Non-breeding Pied Oystercatchers join flocks either to the north or south of Gantheaume Point. They do not attempt to breed for about seven years. They moved around a bit to get comfortable on the rocky outcrop. Pied Oystercatcher family at roost.

It does seem like the order is concurrent with the 61st Supplement, which came out in 2020, but Northwestern Crow is included as a full species. A small range map is placed in the upper right/left hand corner showing summer, winter, resident, migration, and rare locations. There are advantages to a large book!

It didn’t occur to me till I started reading The Falcon Thief: A True Tale of Adventure, Treachery, and the Hunt for the Perfect Bird that there was also a possible threat to the eagle herself: poachers, who steal raptor eggs and chicks. McWilliam realizes he’s dealing someone special, a career falcon egg-thief.

The Wryneck is full of stunning photos of Wrynecks–anting, flying, nesting, writhing, being ringed, their habitat areas, nests, eggs, and closeups of museum specimens. I somehow knew right away that the bird I saw was a Wryneck. copyright © 2022 Gerard Gorman. My Wryneck, Fang, Thailand, February 2019; copyright © Donna L.
