The invasive Burmese Python ( Python molurus ) is well established in the Florida Everglade. Another species of Python, the African Python ( Python sebae ) has established a small population in the 2,877-acre Bird Drive Area (BDA) in South Florida. Photo Credit: US Geological Survey.

We are unsure as to whether the pair of Southern Boobook are breeding or just roosting inside the hollow tree. For those of you that miss me mentioning some of the other wildlife around Broome I think I should mention the Black-headed Python we also saw last week! Black-headed Python measuring.

Apparently, when breeding, the two parents divide incubation duties, with one bird taking over the daytime duties and another one the nighttime. He was also nearly strangled by a pet python that he kept. At between 4 pm and 6 pm, to be exact. Of course, many people still know exactly what they did when this happened.

struck out on the “common feeder birds” But I’d never had much luck with irruptives in the east — no Common Redpolls , no Bohemian Waxwings , and my quest for a Pine Siskins was a Monty Python farce. And living my life in the same place, I’d find them. When I went back the next day, they were still there.

The breeding ecology of the Yellow-bellied Warbler was actually studied exactly here at Nonggang in 2019 by 3 Chinese researchers. And of course, on a rather rare occasion for this blog, an almost perfect link to the next bird (my favorite transition is still the Monty Python one: “And now for something completely different”).

A juvenile, if I am correct – and a rather rare bird in Shanghai, this being rather at the southern end of the wintering breeding range. And now for something completely different (Monty Python): It seems birds are generally quite adept at matching their plumage color with the plastic objects around them.
