This thrush is extremely common in urban and suburban Germany and one of the most conspicuous bird species here, comparable to the American Robin in North America. A few dead birds were collected by authorities and sent to a laboratory for investigation. and species breeding in cavities are less affected.

I recently heard from Chris Kirkby, the Managing Director and Principal Investigator at Asociacion Fauna Forever , a Peruvian not-for-profit organisation based in Lima and Puerto Maldonado, about a series of bird-banding workshops being held this June and November in the rainforests of Tambopata in south-eastern Peru.

Therefore, it is not too far-fetched to call our dippers a commensal species not entirely unlike House Sparrows or Starlings. Of course dippers are not that common and thus harder to find in Germany than those aforementioned species. If dippers were stealthy and motionless ambush predators, they’d be hard to spot.

There is also a major section on 180 bird species that is 123 pages long, about 1/3 of the book. The six-page introduction to the species accounts introduces the concept of migration and offers online resources for learning more from Project FeederWatch, eBird, the Great Backyard Bird Count, and other Cornell Lab of Ornithology resources.

Over the next few days, I found increasing numbers, goldfinches, juncos, white-throated sparrows. I was shocked when I found the first body, a female Towhee. I hoped it was an anomaly. Were they always there and I just never noticed?

I remember, several times while motionlessly surveying birds, I found myself being investigated by Striped Field Mice , who would dare to come to sniff me. I already have a history of searches for this species. Today is the United Nations World Wildlife Day, a time to celebrate and raise awareness of the living world around us.

… Matthew Anderson [of Audubon] said proponents of colonies are putting the interests of one invasive species — cats — over the hundreds of other native ones that are their prey. And she has a North American bird book that has so far taught her how to recognize a sparrow. She said she has a cat that stays indoors — unwillingly.

The field site I am assigned to is located in one of the most diverse ecosystems in the world and home to a particularly rich avifauna that numbers well over 500 species. Hundreds of riotously colored birds representing 14 species of macaws and parrots flock and frolic together in less than fifty meters of forest canopy.

So defined, bird songs are the sounds, often but not always loud and musical, that (mostly) male birds make as part of that species’ mating system. It is, rather, determined by its correct learning of the song as it is sung locally by members of its species, plus other non-genetic factors we will not investigate today.
