Fortunately for the honor of the species, the researchers found that kleptoparasitism was practiced at a low rate (4% of observations) while much more often, drongos captured insects disturbed by other species (41% of observations). It very effectively forms a small foraging group in this manner.

Still, how many birders visit this region and could be seen as the target group for this, already a second edition? The main conservation issues are habitat loss, hunting and wildlife trade. General birders are visiting the Sabah state in the north of Borneo, while serious listers visit Sulawesi for its 90 endemics.

Hunting is also prohibited in this area of the refuge.

But in Iraq, and more exactly, Kurdistan and Iraqi Kurdistan, they are supposed to be there (and are regularly hunted and eaten) and the fighting is not supposed to be there. Researchers are wondering if the die-off might spread to other birds or even fish. This is not something I needed to tell you but there is some new research.

Now and then individual catfish of various species hunt nearer the surface and larger catfish such as the American Channel Cat will take a duck or other water bird. So, the modal catfish is a fish that hunts from below, can take large prey, and occasionally eats a bird. Or, it could just be some weird thing one group of catfish do.

Plastic behaviors are not automatically unrelated to natural selection, but the way those behaviors vary across individuals or across groups may not be best explained by underlying genetic differences. In particular, birds that hang around with humans who don’t happen to hunt or eat them can become very tame.

birders have been able to visit Cuba as part of survey groups and cultural exchanges for years, but those trips have been few in number and not always easy to find. In addition to habitat loss, extreme weather, invasive species, hunting, and the illegal capture of birds for pet markets are major contributing factors.
