Other than these missing items, the book is well-designed and I love the cover, a silhouette of Dorian cycling, his four panniers visible in the outline, against the image of a giant Snowy Owl against a sky-blue background. Are there butterfly or mammal big years? (If Big Year Books are the niche genre of birding.

Initially, I wasn’t that excited about seeing mammals. The leopards place their kill in a tree, protecting it from poaching by other predators. So, the best way to find a leopard is to find the kill. We also got great views of a very small mammal, Wahlberg’s Epauletted Fruit Bat, at Satara.

A paper reports on how a female Common Cuckoo was mobbed and killed by Oriental Reed Warbler hosts. While to my knowledge the Large Hawk-Cuckoo only migrates through Nanhui, the Common Cuckoo stays here in summer and looks for host species, particularly the Oriental Reed Warbler.

but that's pretty much it for mammals. I think I heard an owl once last winter.

The extinction event that wiped out the pterosaurs, the non-avian dinosaurs, and so much other life created enormous opportunity for new organisms to diversify and thrive (lucky for us placental mammals!), Sister to this group is the Strisores : the “night birds” (excluding owls), swifts, and hummingbirds.

I like the title of the paper “Visual fields in the Black-crowned Night Heron Nycticorax nycticorax : nocturnality does not result in owl-like features” This presumably means you do not need to look like an owl to be able to see at night.

Everyone wants to pick off the most fiercesome night predator here, the Laughing Owl , but we’ll also be out looking for the New Zealand Owlet-nightjar. There aren’t many mammal ticks on this trip, but the ones you get are pretty remarkable. Laughing Owl.

Without further ado, here are our Best Birds of the Year for 2015… Jochen makes us all jealous with a bird that most of us would kill to see. Duncan chose a mammal! Painted Buntings and nesting owls, Black-headed Gulls and mystery empids. 2015 was great and here’s hoping 2016 will be even better.
