Birds Family Neglecting Species

From a birder’s perspective however, this is both a shame and a blessing, as I will show below based on my observations of the species on the island of Java in November. The prinias are a group of around 25 Old World warbler species found in Africa and Asia. Other birders might however owe their very lives to this neglect.

I bring this up not to boast (well, not much) but because I think that this approach to wildlife travel is somewhat neglected in birding circles. Read most accounts of how birders see birds outside their patch and one way or another, they’re tourists. Ugandan Mangabeys were part of my family once.

And yet…take a closer look and you won’t find any hummingbirds acting like cute little singing birds ready to perch on the finger of some lost, happy princess. And that begs the question, anthropocentric comparisons aside, what makes a bird a jerk? So easy to love, admire and cherish! Maybe even pyschos.

(Boring bureaucratic note to dissuade casual readers: This post covers birds seen in Shanghai in January 2023, except for those seen at Tianmashan – these are shown in a separate post. End of note) Probably the most interesting bird in Shanghai this month was a Barred Cuckoo-Dove choosing a small downtown park to feed on berries.

Reports abounded of a huge variety of birds, from thrushes to nightjars, terns to vireos. Our families, on the other hand, might have been a bit upset at the warbler fever that overtook even the most resistant birder. But I had two birds in particular that stood out for me this weekend. And was it ever! Northern Parula.

But there was one trip I wasn’t going to miss, a midweek excursion by the Cumberland Bird Observers Club , the people to go out with in Sydney if you want birds. Another nice find by the assembled birders was a Bar-shouldered Dove , a species I had only seen in Queensland before this point. Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoo.
