Will ducks “babysit” or adopt ducklings that have been abandoned? For a little more context these are wild ducks and geese, but live on a shallow canal in an urban area where there a lot of people and generally the same group of birds, if those things can affect their behavior in any way.

The birds I’m referring to in this post are all flycatchers that occupy woody, forest habitat; but they are very infrequently in the same place at the same time. While the bird above recalls a Great Kiskadee in size and structure, both Variegated and Piratic Flycatchers are considerably smaller and slimmer.

Birds too will come up right next to me looking for food when I'm sitting down. I even raised a juvenile magpie last summer when her mom abandoned her a little too early before she was ready to find food on her own. I notice this all the time where they just go about their business as if I'm not even there.

Set in an abandoned oil refinery where wildlife is slowly regaining control save for the desperate attempts of golfers to retain all eighteen holes, industrial ghosts loom over rolling freshwater lakes bordered by fifty foot tall trees. The subtle white edging to the gape of this bird indicates it is near breeding time.

The Juniper Titmouse ( Baeolophus ridgwayi ) is a passerine bird in the tit family Paridae. You can also see my 10000 Birds post on the Oak Titmouse here. Thanks to my friend Rebecca Carrier for penning this post for 10,000 Birds on my behalf. One of my favorite bird species living by my house is the Juniper Titmouse.

You rush over to investigate, and there are birds in your fireplace. Chimney Swifts are remarkable birds who are having a harder and harder time finding brick chimneys in which to nest and raise their families. These fabulous birds fly all the way to South America for the winter, then return in the spring.

With the lockdown lasting until the end of May (ironically thus pretty much including the whole spring migration – the divine sense of humor is a rather malign one, I am afraid), June still had the freedom of birding anywhere in Shanghai, not just inside a smallish compound. Accessorizing for birds.
