The mundane details that actually allow a trip to happen are tedious, but researching all those potential birds… huge fun! Because I’ll be birding Japan this weekend en route to Singapore! Where will you be this weekend and will you be birding? Who doesn’t love that feeling of endless possibility?

While birding the fir forests of the Greek island of Kefallonia , I noted: Coal T**s move here in about dozen or (likely) more strong groups, chitchatting all the time. According to the new study by Toshitaka Suzuki and others, birds do talk (and possibly laugh, too). Conservation research tits But – I did tell you.

The majority of the individually marked birds in Broome are birds that have been marked locally with either a plain yellow flag, an engraved yellow flag or colour bands and a flag. There are many site faithful birds, but also shorebirds that pass through the area before they head off to the north again.

It took me a while to wrap my mind around the concept of Birds and People , Mark Cocker and David Tipling’s book that, in 592 pages, explores the intersection of just that—birds and us. Nor have I overlooked “sightings” of birds in movies mouthing other birds’ calls. I’m not sure why.

Usually, it’s “Bird eating fish” but here we have a case of a “Bird-eating fish.” It has also found its way to Japan where it is considered to be an invasive species. So, the modal catfish is a fish that hunts from below, can take large prey, and occasionally eats a bird.

In the Old World, Horned (Slavonian) Grebe breeds in a wide belt stretching from Scandinavia to Kamchatka and it spends winters along sea coasts, from Japan to China and from Norway to France, plus the Adriatic and the Black Sea (west and east of the Balkans, respectively). …or, how critical are you in twitch or dip situations?

A different research says, from 2002 to 2011 the known populations of forest elephants declined by 62%. Steven had no binoculars, but impressively sharp eyes and great knowledge of birds. A laughing matter (Japan was first to laugh at it, saying it doesn’t give a …, well, not in those exact words). One may say so.

I’ve been fortunate to encounter many owls in my birding life, sometimes because I’m looking for them, sometimes happily by happenstance. It’s also about human-owl interaction on an individual level and a wider sociocultural level, and ultimately how we can use all this for habitat and bird conservation.

And reports of birds nesting – not owls, of course, those weirdo snow fetishists, but other birds nesting – light up my life. Most exotics, at least in the bird world, stick close to their point of arrival and barely hang on – or don’t – over the generations. In 1998 W. And of Wyoming.

Well, they mainly feed on birds, which may explain their low popularity. For the White-throated Rock Thrush , Wikipedia gives the slightly puzzling statement “The bird’s population is unknown, but is not increasing or declining.” Even if they look as charming as this Northern Boobook. Unfortunately, it is true though.

Here are some of the questions that were running through my mind as I read Owls of the Eastern Ice: A Quest to Find and Save the World’s Largest Owl : (a) Is ornithological research always this dangerous? (b) He wanted to do research that would have a conservation impact. Slaght provides funding from research grants.

And in my customary environmentally friendly approach to recycling bird photos, I have collected some of them in this post. It is not a bird I am ever likely to find boring, though. If you ever need help with bird id, make sure to ask him, not me. Still, coming here often guarantees to see some of them eventually.

Otherwise, why would eBird call it a “heavily built, flat-headed dark blue bird”, which sounds more like a description of a robot or a piece of machinery than that of a beautiful bird? In a study conducted in Southwestern Japan, dollarbird nestlings first reached a weight of about 160 grams.

Picidae, Woodpecker, is one of those charismatic bird families that everybody gets excited about. He has authored Woodpeckers of Europe (2004), Birding in Eastern Europe (2006), a monograph on The Black Woodpecker (2011), and numerous popular and scholarly articles. Gorman is the perfect woodpecker author.

Rather, during autumn migration, it first flies to east Siberia, then turns south across eastern China, and finally turns west (source: Birds of Two Worlds: The Ecology and Evolution of Migration).

Learning irrelevant things while reading about birds. Of the female, the website Birds of Singapore says that it “resembles male but has greyish-brown upperparts”, which is a strange way of stating that its color is completely different. The coloration of the bird subspecies is mainly similar to that of L.

Given the complexity of the research, the result feels like a bit of a letdown – “northern populations start migration earlier than southern populations, especially in autumn” The species name of the Chestnut-eared Bunting is fucata , from the Latin “fucare”, to paint red.

For bird books, we mean – reference works and field guides, books of essays and reminiscences, novels, and works on birdsong and other specialties. In any event, there is no better judge of potent potables in the birding world, no better writer about them, than Tristan Lowery, in his charming and unique “Birds and Booze” essays.
