That out of the way, let’s talk about the members of this mega-diverse Neotropical family, the furnariids.

Perhaps even more diverse is their nesting habits.

The idea is to portray one bird for each hour of the day in words and art, presenting the diversity, beauty, and wonder of avian life. And there is diversity in charisma–few people can resist an Emperor Penguin or a Secretary Bird, but common birds like Indian Myna and Black-crowned Night Heron also get their due respect.

Apparently, the high genetic diversity of the critically endangered Yellow-breasted Bunting indicates that the decline has been quite rapid (a slow decline is accompanied by a reduction in genetic diversity, as outlined here – there is a nice little graph in there illustrating the rationale behind it).

Africa, the world’s second largest and second-most-populous continent, is incredibly diverse. Africa supports roughly a quarter of the planet’s animal and plant species due to its equally diverse natural landscapes and biomes, which range from arid deserts and grasslands to tropical rainforests and ice-capped mountains.

Other chapters (there are sixteen in all) cover every aspect of birds’ lives: their brains, diversity, migration, diversity, nesting, molting (during which Cardinals, like this one, lose almost all of their head feathers) and otherwise. Some avian behaviors are quite reminiscent of ours, especially the agonistic ones.

It turns out that smaller, scattered “satellite” groups of the bird are a source of needed genetic diversity when individuals leave the satellites and join the main populations. New research in Current Biology suggests that concentrating efforts on saving the remaining four large populations of the Florida Scrub-Jay isn’t all that’s needed.
