I was browsing for some quotes when I came across this group - The National Animal Interest Alliance (NAIA).

10,000 Birds

This laughingthrush is a cooperative breeder – nestlings are fed by all members of a group, often 6-12 (not just 2 as in Wham!): “A female may share a nest with another, and 3 or more adults may take turns incubating the eggs and feeding the chicks.” (Note to those readers who do not know Wham!: ” ( source ).

Flock to Marion

10,000 Birds

So, I anxiously followed the “Flock to Marion 2022” Facebook group in anticipation for open cabins to come up for sale. The seal hunters accidentally introduced mice to Marion, as was the case for many islands around the world.

Wisconsin Falconer Legally Traps Snowy Owl

10,000 Birds

Many get their birds from breeders.

A Merganser Trifecta!

10,000 Birds

Common , Hooded and Red-breasted Mergansers all breed here, but Red-breasted is the more northerly of the group. Now, Common Mergansers are common breeders here on the Front Range and Colorado mountain streams, so we are used to seeing them regularly. This is where they are truly effective and amazing hunters.
