Think about it–how do you document the behavior of birds that spend years flying (or swimming) and feeding and, apparently, sleeping above or within the deep sea? This is essentially a survey of ornithological marine research told in the voice of one of its most passionate and experienced participants.

If I was an ornithologist aiming for a grant, I would now definitely highlight the need for more research on this topic. When writing posts like this one, I am always looking for bits and interesting information. The bird has two main calls which are quite different but which seem to be used more or less interchangeably.

As you can easily judge from the dullness of this information, it is not something I made up but rather an appalling example of nepotism in the naming of birds.

It’s the bird family that most people don’t know is a bird family.

If you had your choice of one bird family to pursue, to seek out and observe and photograph and kvell over, which one would you choose? A passion for one bird family is also very useful. It provides goals and a definite direction for your birding travels and thoughts; sometimes it even becomes the basis of a book!

But, unlike most books focused on a bird family, this one is organized geographically.

Wrynecks are fascinating because they are woodpeckers, taxonomically and evolutionarily, yet they do not share many behaviors and anatomical features of most members of the Picidae family. But they are woodpeckers: the genus Jynx of the subfamily Jynginae of the Picidae family. They are beautiful, but in a different way.

So, we are given the "cull the herd for its own good" defense, or the "cull the herd to prevent automobile accidents" defense, or the "I hunt to put food on my family's table" defense. Dr. William Castelli, director of the study for the last 20 years, maintains that based on his research the most heart healthy diet is a pure vegetarian diet.
