And, if you have resources for travel.

But seriously, Science has a more interesting set of answers, and some recently published research on European Robins helps to examine this question in some detail. A male may in fact be guarding food resources which are, in turn, intended to both impress a female and feed the happy couple and the young.

They frequently reuse nest holes, thus saving vital natural resources even though cleaning out the used nest hole takes about one week ( source ). One nice little story for my blog post lost. A Crested Serpent Eagle , looking a bit ridiculous after a rain.

Prior research has shown that the Loons that return in a given year to a given nest on a lake somewhere in Canada or the norther tier of US states are often the same ones that were there the previous year, though with some never returning because they did not survive the trials of migration. But now there is some research on that.

Nate Swick is a contributor to 10,000 Birds, American Birding Association (ABA) blog editor and event leader, and environmental educator. The birding process is stripped to the essentials without losing the significance of important, sometimes complex ideas—migration, habitat, research, documentation, community.

The Resources section is very brief. It lists all major books on warblers, a couple of audio collections, selected Research Papers, selected Web Resources, a very selected list of Birding Festivals, several Apps, and, a nice touch, a note on the American Birding Association and the greatness of local Audubon societies.

For my new book, due out in 2012 from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, I’ve been researching sandhill crane hunting. Even more telling, the support the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Commission was expecting from its hunting community simply never materialized. Or These Blasts From The Past What’s In A Name?

It can take a bit of research to figure these notes out, especially when they are citing taxonomic differences (Riparian [Blackish] Antbird, for example, is treated differently in three of the four taxonomic systems), but it is tremendously helpful just to know that there is an issue to be researched.

There are other resources that do this better, he says, and, in fact, spends 10 pages recommending field and advanced bird guides, web sites, magazines, and listservs. Lovitch rightly recommends David La Puma’s Woodcreeper website as “one of the best and most accessible blogs about birding by radar”.

Malling Olsen has made his own decisions, based on research (some not available when he was writing his previous book), on which gulls to treat fully, even though they are considered subspecies in current classifications (Steppe, Mongolian, Azores, Baltic, and Kamchatka Gulls). It is also out-of-print.

Kudos to him for all the research he did to make people more aware of birding. Would you do it again if you had the opportunity? I know a number of folks who became birders because of the book.

Way back when I started what turned out to be my thesis research (on humans), it became important for me to learn about bird migration. I was involved in the study of human movement and navigation on land, and there was a lot of research coming out about bird navigation. That’s because the two are related.

There are page references to and from the Species Accounts maps, which makes research transparently easy. The wonder of research? We are living in a wonderfully rich world of birding resources.

And, as we find out in a blogged coda to the episode , they can’t even take care of their eggs. And, possibly, a waste of resources to try to extend near-extinct species into the future. These endangered birds have trouble producing a fertilized egg and, even worse, they don’t even know how to build a nest so the egg survives?
