And, as I have mentioned before , under-birded countries like Mexico provide lots of opportunities for amateur birders like me to make real contributions to science. After investigating the area between the towns of Araró and Andocutín, I soldiered on to the equally-small town of Iramuco. But obsessed I am. And it brought friends.

Flight Paths traces the history of migratory research in nine chapters, starting with the earliest attempts to track birds, bird banding/ringing (which she traces back to Audubon), and ending with ‘community science’ projects such as Breeding Bird Surveys and eBird.

My proposal, “ An integrative understanding of phenotypic flexibility ”, aims to answer these questions by investigating the molecular mechanisms underlying seasonal changes in metabolic performance of a common songbird, the Dark-eyed Junco.

Being lazy, a bunch of researchers used camera traps to investigate the species rather than following the birds directly (which would have had some health benefits). Being a management consultant, I am well-versed in the science and art of b *g. ” Full iteration!

Males of this species are more brightly colored in their non-breeding winter plumage. Greater Double-collared Sunbird (right) is less common and more localized than its smaller cousin. The Southern (or Lesser) Double-collared Sunbird (left) is an often abundant species that is usually first detected by its cheery song.

All of this leads to a longer life list, which is, after all, the entire point of bridwatching, right? Loons hardly ever fly when they are on their breeding grounds or their winter-water, but the migration is for many loons a non-trivial distance.
