He writes about how experienced birders think, and how they draw on the sciences of weather, geography, and ecology to analyze where the birds will be. There are other resources that do this better, he says, and, in fact, spends 10 pages recommending field and advanced bird guides, web sites, magazines, and listservs.

Scientists were largely limited to studies birds in breeding colonies, at least those we knew about and that were accessible (and, if you think that’s a complete list, you haven’t read the news that came out this week about a new colony of Adélie penguins found in the Danger Islands, Antarctica). Technology to the rescue!

Light blue boxes give brief facts on breeding age, strategy and lifespan. There is no end-of-book list of resources, which reflects, I think, an assumption that the birder using this book is already familiar with the more general birding books and magazines. Additional information is presented in boxes and with photographs.

If you have always wondered what the minimum anesthetic concentration for isoflurane and sevoflurane for the Crested Serpent-eagle is, science has an answer. The breeding ecology of the Yellow-bellied Warbler was actually studied exactly here at Nonggang in 2019 by 3 Chinese researchers. So you just have to look at the photos for once.

The source of this ranking, BirdLife International, lists Bolivia as currently having 1,439 bird species, including 18 breeding endemics. This is more than eBird reports–a checklist generated from the citizen science database lists only 1,413 species. Clearly, this is an under-birded country. . .”

However, the authors call this a “new breeding tactic”, which seems to mix up the discovery of the tactic with the use of the tactic. .” So, it is definitely a pigeon, not a cuckoo, and my guess is that the cuckoo part of the name hints at the body shape of these species. But I may well be wrong.

Here’s a diagram, available on the Audubon site , that compares its 2000 range with its anticipated 2080 range: Only 1 percent of the bird’s breeding range remains stable between 2000 and 2080 if global warming continues on its current course. Are they adaptable and remarkably enduring and resourceful?

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. They are cavity nesters, breeding in natural cavities or holes dug into the soil.

They migrate because those with migratory adaptations who moved from region to region to follow seasonal changes in food supply or other resources had, ultimately, higher Darwinian fitness. 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.

My friend Vickie Henderson , who has some serious long-range vision, looked at the science behind Tennessee’s crane hunting proposal and found it badly wanting. There are 400 whooping cranes left in the wild, 100 of them in the eastern population.
