Unlike Desi, the researchers involved don’t think the owls are curling up in a nice warm bed in a hut in the woods, but they don’t have much better answers than that, at least not yet. So they are raising money to buy more. Snowy Owl being harassed by an American Crow. That is where YOU come in! That is where YOU come in!

That paper raises an interesting question: “When less attractive people accept less attractive dates, do they persuade themselves that the people they choose to date are more physically attractive than others perceive them to be? This is not an issue here in Shanghai – I have only seen them in very small groups this winter.

The source of this ranking, BirdLife International, lists Bolivia as currently having 1,439 bird species, including 18 breeding endemics. But, the numbers are quite large, and the birds organized in groupings that, for the most part, make it an easy process to figure out which Antwren (or Woodcreeper or Seedeater) is which.

Marc Hauser, a cognitive psychologist at Harvard University, recently opened his own such research lab and has 1,000 dogs lined up as subjects. In some cases, their research suggests that our pets are manipulating us rather than welling up with human-like feeling. Other facilities are operating in the U.S. and Europe.

And apart from local people, primate researchers sometimes spot it, but it is a species seen by fewer than ten living birders. This book is essentially about those birds that breed on the continent south of the Sahara, a topic few birders are familiar with.

A study on the breeding biology of Whitehead’s Broadbill was just published in May 2023 but leaves a bit of a puzzle as the breeding success is described as relatively high, meaning there should be other reasons for the population decline of the species. Must have been a camera fault.

They contribute to scientific research, conservation efforts, and the enjoyment of birding as a hobby.

Seabirds are one group of birds that go for the latter strategy. Others, like the petrels and some of the auks, will lay a single egg per breeding attempt. The investment placed in each clutch bur seabirds is so great that only one breeding attempt can be seen to completion each year. So why do it?

Chestnut-collared Longspur is one of those. The time to act is now.

Way back when I started what turned out to be my thesis research (on humans), it became important for me to learn about bird migration. I was involved in the study of human movement and navigation on land, and there was a lot of research coming out about bird navigation. Another question this raises has to do with migration itself.

As with Chinese male humans, having your own building is still vital to raising young. There was a breeding pair at Binjiang Forest Park this June.

Given the complexity of the research, the result feels like a bit of a letdown – “northern populations start migration earlier than southern populations, especially in autumn” The species name of the Chestnut-eared Bunting is fucata , from the Latin “fucare”, to paint red. No wonder no species are named after me.
