Kiwis are featured of course. The film exists to explain the need for such a project and documents some of the recent and current attempts of feral animal control. I am not sure what I liked the best. First, considering my audience, I should emphasise the wonderful photography of many of the New Zealand endemic bird species.

Feel free to insert your own French joke here (though of course in the US, restaurants now serve Freedom Frogs rather than French Frogs). Of course, hearing about this immediately makes me think I have to show the photo of a Yellow-eyed Babbler below. Apparently, he was the first documented person to reach the peak of Mount Kinabalu.

It is a shame we had not noticed what was going on earlier, so we could have documented it from an earlier stage of development. Of course, we can’t really complain when we have such lovely blue skies and we are getting to wear some different clothes for a change! Mistletoebird nest.

But of course, it is also nice to remember past birding trips. No photoshop was needed to document this bizarre creature encountered somewhere along the road. Occasionally, it seems these birds can be quite long-lived – a paper documents a recapturing of a ringed female after 10 years. Or they are afraid of flying.

It is an impressive bird (for a prinia – these birds are not usually very flashy) – eBird calls the species a “large, fierce-eyed prinia with a long, oft-cocked tail” There even is a separate document just on the vocalization of the Hill Prinia, if you are interested (frankly, I am not).

Birders roll their eyes – of course snipe really exist, and of course they’re not a subspecies of jackalope! For modern birders, of course, the most annoying snipe hunt isn’t inflicted by fellow Boy Scouts or cabin-mates. – but don’t dig deeper. It has nothing to do with the childish hazing ritual.

We were at Colusa National Wildlife Refuge, of course, which is not only home to Falcated Duck, but many other birds. Geese, of course, are known to be down to get down with other species, because they’re kinky like that. Apparent Barnacle X Cackling Geese have even been documented in the U.S. We couldn’t believe it.

There is only one documented case of a human ever catching rabies from a Little Brown Bat , though it did occur just last year.*. Of course, people should always avoid handling known rabies vectors.

Of course, unless you live on Venus, we all know that this year is far from normal and so is the birding news. Thanks to that bird’s choice of hunting grounds and David having plenty of time to watch it, he has documented the bird chasing everything from motmots to large woodpeckers as well as occasional visits from the parents.

It’s a gamble every year, of course. It’s been a delight to see how enthused our Osprey-watchers are, as they meticulously document the nest reconstruction that our birds are undertaking and their matings as well (let’s just say the pair seems very happy to see each other.) The Ospreys have returned to Dunrovin.

So far as I know from my cursory Google search they have never been documented eating bananas. The identity of the goose is not in question, of course, though I am not entirely sure that the fruit is in fact a banana. (Though they seem to be learning from other geese and often feed on plain old grass like a Canada Goose.)

Well, Pale Male is documented as having juvenile plumage in November of 1991. The records are amazing and they are documented. Now, of course, plumage details change as birds molt. But it’s time that the birding community, particularly the New York City birding community, acknowledge the inevitable: Pale Male is dead.

Nor are there any birding authorities requiring folks to identify, count and document the nuthatches, titmice and Downy Woodpeckers that come to their backyard feeders.

Woodpeckers nest in cavities and their young are altricial (born in an undeveloped state), which means there is not a lot of documented information about their young and how they look at different stages. Woodpeckers are a family of focus for Tuttle-Adams. It emphasizes the importance of the work of wildlife rehabilitators (thank you!)
