As the boreal migrants head north, breeding season for the residents and austral migrants is beginning to pick up. A friend of mine has been begging me to come over to document a nesting pair of Plumbeous Kites in her property but life has gotten in the way thus far. A young male Swallow Tanager holding a bit of nesting material.

Sadly, the downtime means that the usual post crafting process got slightly short-circuited this week. Birds behaviour Borneo breeding hornbills Singapore' That, and they looked kind of like toucans, but they weren’t. I saw a pair flying near Chiangi Beach, across from Pulau Ubin and near the famous airport. We can hope!

After writing this last sentence, I looked up the species in the HBW and found the sentence “Song poorly documented” in the appropriate section, while with regard to calls, the description is that “call is a two-note raspy nasal ‘ryeeh-reh’”. It is even better to see adult Striated Herons in the wild, at Nanhui.

The source of this ranking, BirdLife International, lists Bolivia as currently having 1,439 bird species, including 18 breeding endemics. The guide covers 1,433 species, the number of birds documented at the end of 2014, the cutoff point for the book. That’s pretty amazing–Bolivia has more bird species than India!

The basic premise is that observation of traits such as size, shape, structure, and behavior, the same traits Dunne writes about in his hawk books, could and should be used as the basic blocks of a ‘holistic’ identification process. The process doesn’t totally ignore plumage. These vary according to species.

The auk identification process is pretty straightforward. The following section encapsulates a chapter of biological facts into one dense paragraph–breeding location, breeding time of year, nesting notes, timing of fledging, migratory routes to and from breeding areas, staging locations, foraging locations, and more.
