Bird “instrumental music&# is bird song. Bird song is defined in various ways, but I prefer the functional definition used by evolutionary biologists. A bird song is a communication having to do with sexual selection. Drawing of bower birds from Darwin’s 1871 volume on sexual selection.

When you live by the coast it is always nice to go inland and observe some different birds. We visit Geikie Gorge every year and the bird-life is always good. It offers some birds that we don’t observe elsewhere, so that is an added bonus. There was nobody else on the walk trail and it had maybe never seen a human before!

We visited Palm Springs, California towards the end of 1989 and we camped and looked for birds.

Last week a mystery bird from New Jersey rightly caused a fair bit of confusion among birders of the Garden State and beyond. The bird was a sparrow, that much was clear, but it didn’t seem to fit any of the easily boxes the other North American sparrows can be fairly easily sorted into. New Jersey mystery sparrow.
