It is not quite clear why they do this as it apparently does not affect breeding success. They have written a paper on the “Feasibility of counting breeding Pied Avocets and Black-winged Stilts using drones” It seems to work, actually – though about 20 percent of breeding pairs are being missed by drone surveys.

There are not, as far as I know, any plans to re-name the Montagu’s Harrier, a bird that’s now a real rarity in the UK that only occasionally breeds here. Eleonora’s Falcons still breed on Sardinia today. However, most of us still call it a Bewick’s. There are relatively few European birds named after women.

All of the Band-rumped Storm Petrels that occur in the western Atlantic come from populations that breed in a few archipelagos off of North Africa, mostly the Madieran Islands. The storm petrels are there breeding year-round, but, and this is the kicker, the birds that breed in the winter are not the same birds that breed in the summer.

On the breeding grounds of the north, a small bird flies into the night, takes a bearing for the south, gains altitude and flies onward. Migrant birds make an incredibly perilous journey, twice per year. How’s that for an understatement of the obvious? The equation seems incredible. Flap, flap, glide.

North American warblers, on the other hand, often bear names of, at best, marginal utility. Naming a bird species for the part of the world in which it breeds or resides makes sense. Most of the warblers south of the border escaped this ignominy; those Basileuterus and Myiothlypis species generally appear exactly as advertised.
