A lone Smooth-billed Ani, dubbed the ‘Orphan Ani’ by locals, that lingered for months at Anhinga Trail in 2010. According to the Florida Breeding Bird Atlas, the first confirmed breeding record was in Miami in July of 1938. Some of these birds successfully winter in central and southern Florida.

That was a special encounter, because we had stumbled across a breeding colony. In 2010 I wrote of a Red Knot that had a bivalve clamped onto its foot. We were surprised to see the Yellow-billed Spoonbill , though. Our last encounter with Yellow-billed Spoonbills this year was at the Fortescue River.

I have followed the breeding activity of the Pied Oystercatchers in Broome along Cable Beach since July 2000 when I found the first nest site and the birds have continued to use the same territories, though there have been some partner changes. I can also monitor any movement along the coast during the year when they are no longer breeding.

Gujarat, December 2010. Sociable Lapwings breed in several areas along the Kazakhstani – Russian border and overwinter in Iraq, Sudan and northwest India. Target for today: critically endangered Sociable Lapwing ( Vanellus gregarius ). CR being the highest category in the Red List , if I want to see some of those birds, I better hurry!

It has been twelve weeks now since the first pair of Pied Oystercatchers attempted to breed along the stretch of beach that we survey and as with each year there have been setbacks. There was a long stretch of beach that did not have a breeding pair, but it was in amongst the vehicles and nudists that frequent the area at this time of year.

Queens, New York, May 2010 At one time there was an airport in northern Queens called Flushing Airport. The early successional woodland and marsh both have Tree , Barn , and Northern Rough-winged Swallows and Chimney Swifts hunting for bugs over them and the aforementioned breeding birds are in evidence everywhere.

Others, like the petrels and some of the auks, will lay a single egg per breeding attempt. The investment placed in each clutch bur seabirds is so great that only one breeding attempt can be seen to completion each year. They are cavity nesters, breeding in natural cavities or holes dug into the soil. So why do it?

First recorded in Florida in 1949, it has been gracing the mature yards and suburban parks of Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade counties for several decades, although it has recently experienced significant declines in its population perhaps due to Hurricane Wilma in October 2005 and the severe winter cold of 2010.

Currently, the population is near saturation point in this small preserve at about 226 mature individuals — it is simply too small to host more breeding territories. In November 2010, I backpacked for fifty days via the reasonably good bus system in Ecuador. Pale-headed Brush-Finch are usually feeding on or near the ground.

Instead, they are summer visitors, moving up to Colorado in the warm months to breed before returning to wintering grounds in Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, and Mexico.

With competition for nesting sites diminished, the bluebirds rebounded, and their populations have been growing by 2% every year between 1966 and 2010. Today, there are over 22 million breeding Eastern Bluebirds, and they are an IUCN species of Least Concern! Please do not pick up or touch wild birds.

These birds (usually juveniles) are clearly linked to the growing breeding population in the region. Spoonbills nested in Britain for the first time for 300 years in 2010, when a small colony became established at Holkham in North Norfolk. Today that same colony is thriving, with an impressive 90 birds fledged in 2023.

As a result, their populations have increased by over 1% per year since 1966, and as of 2010 their breeding population came in at around 14 million. When food sources shrink or disappear in these northern winters, they then benefit from the abundance of bird feeders, and are particularly drawn to suet.

By around 8AM, I usually head back to my car not only because the bulk of the morning activity is over but also before the throngs of tourists take over, causing the birds to retreat further into the marsh.

Penguins are flightless, but some species locomote over long distances on antarctic ice to travel between breeding grounds and the sea. Since all penguins have certain characteristics in common, it is interesting to contemplate which of those features arose first, in the earliest penguins, and which arose later. Salas-Gismondi, R.,

In 2000, around 1,000 breeding pairs were known, but by 2009, the number had plummeted to just 120-220 pairs, a decline of 88%. During that time, adult survival appeared unchanged and breeding success was reasonable, but the recruitment of young birds back into the adult population was zero in all but one of the years studied.
