Bird Day is a lovely, little jewel of a book. The idea is to portray one bird for each hour of the day in words and art, presenting the diversity, beauty, and wonder of avian life.

Since this research has a strong citizen science component, we want to help Pavel spread the word: What happens with birdsong during invasion of a new territory? Most birds at a locality sing only one dialect, which seems locally stable over years. Why Great Britain and New Zealand? Can it work?

Check out this bird: Now look at this one: And finally, this one: Which of these birds, if any, are Mallards?

I’m not going to rehash that war here, seeing as how it is a bird blog and not one about foreign policy, but it is perhaps appropriate to note the maelstrom of violence that has been pretty much ongoing since the neocons went in to make everything better. I’m not a fan of some of the cuts to science, but National came in in 2008.
