He was the first director of that museum, edited that journal, invented the niche concept, and, of course, came up with the Grinnell system. Sites lost on average 43% of their species, and occupancy probability declined significantly for 39 of 135 breeding birds. And, he literally wrote the book(s) on California birds.

Even though the overall breeding range remains largely unchanged from that in the 1940′s, the entire coastal population has been in recent severe decline. The ecological requirements for Black Swifts to breed restrict them to a very limited supply of nesting locations.

Of course, this is not a formal “field guide,” but it is interesting to look at this alternative form or organization. It sounds simple, but I wonder how it works in practice.

The story of the cahow, a “Lazurus species” that was thought to be extinct for over 300 years and then discovered to be breeding on a tiny remote island in Bermuda, is part of modern birding legend. A particularly good type of fertilizer, for example, drastically increased the population of crabs, spoiling Bermuda’s golf courses.

Helmeted Guineafowl seem to have some kind of paternity leave system in place within their flock – when the dominant male and female leave to breed, the second-highest-ranking male temporarily becomes flock leader ( HBW ).

Recent studies show that many island species went extinct before anyone managed to document their existence. Several European zoos had this species in their collections at the time, but they either made no effort to breed it or it did not breed well in captivity.
