So this new research is very interesting, and we applaud the scientists for their work. These researchers carried out two different major efforts that in combination advance our understanding of the evolution of the bird beak. However, both birds and Alligators actually use this pathway. See: Four Wings Good Two Wings Better?

Bolivar Flats Shorebird Sanctuary was an amazing and unexpected treat, but that’s because I failed to do my research. It’s only 15 minutes north of High Island, though in neighboring Chambers County (High Island is part of Galveston County, good to know if you’re going to be researching eBird checklists).

With some research, I ended up with more questions than answers, making these birds all the more interesting! These observations got me asking questions: what is their pattern of occurrence? when were the first records of Brown-crested Flycatchers in the state? where are these birds coming from?

More research is needed, but initial studies by the Pine Street Foundation and others on using dogs for diagnosis are promising. Grief, friendship, gratitude, wonder, and other things we animals experience.
