Cattle Egrets are thoroughly modern birds – they were among the first species to ditch mailed letters for faxes, then switched to email early, and now (at least in China) mostly communicate by WeChat. They are also early adopters with regard to their foraging – nowadays mostly following tractors rather than cattle.

This is also why you very rarely find a photo of a giraffe on top of one of these posts – the other reason of course being that a giraffe photo would be relatively pointless in a birding blog. If I was an ornithologist aiming for a grant, I would now definitely highlight the need for more research on this topic.

And of course, the photos here show a female, as far as I can tell. Of course, this factoid should be presented with a photo of a male, not a female rosefinch. Of course, for the birds involved, this often leads to death. Apparently, this name is derived from the well-ordered patterns of the male.

Of course, on Chongming, the Chinese Pond Heron is very common. but on the one hand, this is not a sci-fi blog and I am not interested in science fiction (excluding of course Douglas Adams), and on the other hand, the answer from my side would be “no” anyway. Chinese Pond Herons also grow on trees.

Upland Sandpipers were seen almost daily, on posts, in tall grass, in trees, and, of course, flying away from us. . In addition, of course, to birds like Baird’s Sparrow, Chestnut-collared Longspur, and Sharp-tailed Grouse (all of which were life birds for me, and all of which I failed to get decent photos).

Thus, the cattle we raise for meat and dairy are sometimes called Bos taurus while the extinct wild form is always called Bos primigenius. Early research suggested that “Fragmented distributions and population bottlenecks due to human activities appear to have increased genetic differentiation among populations” (Leberg 1991).
