Migration hasn’t really kicked in, the breeders aren’t tied to breeding territories any more, and it is hot and sweaty outside. Who wants to spend time with a Canada Goose ? Tanagers, woodpeckers, gnatcatchers – missing! Nothing is quite as much of a downer to a birder than the summer doldrums.

The Wagbachniederung is reknown for its waterfowl, shorebirds, and good breeding populations of several species that are very localized in Germany. During such a visit, one would normally just write down the numbers for the “better” duck species, for all the shorebirds, and for a few selected songbird and raptor species.

Like manky mallards, ganky geese display remarkable variety due to both the methodical manipulations of breeders and the variable volatility of the more natural kind of breeding.

Third, observing and photographing breeding birds and their young have become acts of ethical confusion as birders, photographers, and organizational representatives debate the impact of our human presence on the nesting process. Some people love books like that.

Nonprofit organizations, science, and the best intentions in the world came to the rescue with a captive breeding program, and we now have over 400 Pink Pigeons living in Mauritius, the nearby island of Ile aux Aigrettes, and the zoos hosting the breeding program, including the Bronx Zoo. They have a hard enough time with Canada Geese.

Outside of the breeding season a few birds may join together in a loose flock if the feeding is good. Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.

The National Audubon Society Birds of North America covers all species seen in mainland United States, Canada and Baja California. I’m wondering if this is what all future Audubon guides will look like, since they have published at the same time a guide to trees of similar size and weight (well, a little lighter, under 3 pounds).

Kills in Canada, Alaska and Mexico are not included in the count. They reach breeding maturity at four to seven years of age, produce only one chick per nesting season, and only one in three offspring survive to fledging age.

Outside of the tropics, nesting would usually take place in the spring (in the southern hemisphere, spring and the height of the breeding season occurs before Christmas); these pictures were taken in March as the weather in Cape Town is beginning to cool.
