Seabirds are one group of birds that go for the latter strategy. The species readily takes to nesting in small artificial boxes, and the scientists of PRBO Conservation Science have over 450 such boxes scattered across the island to monitor the species. Some birds pump em out by the dozen in the hope that at least one or two survive.

Many, many things happened in the area of bird science this year, so this review can not be comprehensive. 03–19 Interesting research on microevolution in swallows was reported , suggesting that swallows in one area may be adapting to problems unique to living near, and hanging out on the surface of, a highway. So, look for that.
