After over two hours at Jamaica Bay I headed to Big Egg Marsh for high tide and a bunch of shorebirds. Though I have been unable to prove it, I am convinced that these Northern Harriers are breeding at Edgemere Landfill. You can’t count a Red Bat for a big day but they are worth watching nonetheless.

One paper describes them breeding in a human settlement in abandoned clay jars. Presumably, the species also not only eats fruit but also mammals and possibly birds –the HBW specifically mentions the species catching bats emerging from caves at dusk, and feeding them to juveniles.

The clifftop habitats along rocky shores of the North Atlantic (on both sides of the pond) abound in bird biomass during breeding bouts, for instance. Those mammals consist of the previously mentioned fossorial members of Insectivora, Rodents, and bats. When Albatross alight in temporal alignment anything else is swamped out.

Each year tens of thousands of these gulls go to the islands and each pair will lay three eggs. Most of these clutches of eggs will hatch to produce three fluffy and adorable chicks. This is quite a big deal for an island group that had no mammals save bats for millions of years. Western Gull chick.

They breed from July to March in Southern Australia and from September to June in the north. They often call with a whooping bugle trumpet sound in flight and the sound is similar to a Channel-billed Cuckoo , which are returning to the Broome area from Asia to breed. Our house smells lovely at the moment!
