Of course, the White-cheeked Starling is even more common in Shanghai and can sometimes be seen in flocks of 20 or more birds. I once asked my then-girlfriend whether this color was in any way protected for use by the postal service only – as the color yellow is to some extent associated with the German mail service.

Some of you have been counting on federal funding or habitat protection that now looks shaky; some of you have mates who never made it back from migration; some of you just can’t catch enough fish. They want an authentic nature experience, but a relatable authentic nature experience. Of course, this is fiction.

Of course, I also love birding in Mexico, with its 1,000+ species, and seemingly infinite variety of habitats. My first experience was an easy one: I found a Prickly Pear cactus growing on the roof, and I left it there. The church lot, unfortunately, is in an area that experiences yearly brush fires. So how do I get my natives?

How much do birders value a birding experience? But there are few transactions that can be analyzed to determine how much value birding experiences, themselves, provide to a birder. This includes bird-watching experiences. Some aspects of birding can be calculated and studied economists.

Reportedly, the Water Thick-knee sometimes locates its nest close to the nest of Nile crocodiles as this offers some protection. Of course, the second explanation makes a lot more sense. A bit like renting an apartment next to a mass murderer in the hope that this will deter other criminals, but as they say, nature knows best.

Anyway, the story is not quite how I remembered it, to be honest, but fitting enough to describe the almost claustrophobic birding experience in ever-shrinking Nanhui.

Non-bird watchers without binoculars and experience are notoriously bad sources of information. The adults move to flocks, there may be two or three of them, that hang out mostly far off shore in the larger part of the lake, abandoning their embayments or otherwise protected areas. More alarm calling. I’m not sure what really happened.
