10,000 Birds
JULY 5, 2014
No matter where you live on this beautiful earth the odds are good that some kind of invasive species is a familiar part of your avifauna. We at 10,000 Birds are planning on exploring the rich topic that is invasive species for an entire week, 20-26 July. Do you have something worthwhile to say about invasive species?

Here at 10,000 Birds we are going to dedicate the coming week, from today until Saturday, to invasive species. Of course, most of the species we will cover will fit the more traditional definition of invasive species, which usually only covers introduced species that are doing harm to species in the areas to which they are introduced.

Quite a few bird species have crests. Their main use is to display – either to communicate with other members of the species or to scare other species, as a raised crest makes the bird appear larger. So much for the educational part of the blog post. Crests are made of feathers.

Although Bobolinks are a very rare migrant, lots of other birds are possible, more than enough to rack up hundreds of species over the course of the year. Each January, I hope to identify at least 600 species over the next 12 months, this year, I’m hoping that Marilen and I (aka Team Tyto ) will find 700.

Gustave Axelson has a nice breakdown of a recent genetic analysis of redpolls on Cornell’s All About Birds Blog : Mason and Taylor looked beyond the plumage into strands of the birds’ DNA in the most extensive look ever at the redpoll genome. It sure looks like it!

Then I went to another place and I saw another bird and several of another species of bird. But if a blog post is an un-or-poorly illustrated, straightforward account of a birder’s visit to a local park that lacks amazing birds or scenery is there any reason to read it? I went to a place and I saw a bird. Really boring.
