These ponds and the larger Cedar Lake and collection pond hold Tufted Duck , Greylag Goose and Eurasian Moorhen. The Black Swans were adopted to the trust’s coat of arms and breed here during the northern winter. Corvids are often associated with English castles. Surely you have heard of the Ravens at the Tower of London.

Combined with Christmas Bird Counts and (relatively) lavish year-end vacation time here in North America, the result is a time when we celebrate owls , finches , and sea ducks ; when the local corvids are cheerfully ticked again; when feeders are filled and the odd overwintering individuals from some surprising species are documented.

It was also in some ways an emotional quest for Audubon, who was freshly driven to complete his great work in the face of his first intimations, not only of his own mortality, but also of the idea that his beloved adopted continent was not inexhaustible and that its natural riches could be destroyed by constant exploitation.

When you review the system, it makes perfect sense: falcons are placed with hawks, nightjars are next to owls, and grebes are close to ducks, rather than separated from them by quail and grouse. I did catch a minor error in the page number references for Lesser Scaup and Ring-necked Duck, which will hopefully be corrected in future printings.)

But its not just parrots that are doing well in their adopted city. Well-represented exotic families include starlings, ducks and doves and there are also many more individual species that now thrive here. Nearly 70 species of parrots have been recorded flying free at some stage or another in Miami, including Hyacinth Macaws.

And I received confirmation of something I've known since 2004, when we adopted retired racing greyhound, Violet Rays: That there's sort of a critical period for dog-behavior acquisition, and if it's missed, the dog isn't likely to mature into the type of loving being whose behavior we've come to associate with "pet" dogs.

Anyhow, so every now and again, Hannes sends me incredible photos from his adopted home in Australia (he is from Tirol originally) and we exchange ideas about how we can push digiscoping just a little further. And challenging assumptions is something I really appreciate. Of all things, why digiscoping?

It won’t be long before the drake Ruddy Ducks are all in their breeding finery and doing their displays for the females so I thought I would take the time this past weekend to try to get some decent shots of the males that are still in basic plumage.

Long-tailed Duck is one of my favorite birds that we see on the Christmas Bird Count. Eventually, when the circle was adopted, it was discovered that some circles overlapped. Participating in a Christmas Bird Count is tiring but essentially simple. The New York City area’s Christmas Bird Count density is absurd.

In my case, I had to format my excel sheet just so, a considerable task because when I dabbled in Birdstack (gone, alas, but not forgotten) I adopted its formatting as well as the more fluid International Ornithological Congress (IOC) taxonomy , both of which were inimical to that of eBird.

Baby ducks and chickens s are the mensches of the bird world; they don’t spend all that time sitting there uselessly and constantly demanding attention. One Northern Cardinal was even observed to have adopted a school of gaping goldfish at a pond where the fish were accustomed to begging from people! Some birds do this a little.

But the honeyguides, indigobirds, and a single species of duck all do the classic cuckoo strategy (obligate interspecific brood parasitism) as well. It’s easy to see why some birds adopt this way of life.
