When I realised that this weekend would be my 500th post for this website I thought I could broaden the “birding” topic to “egg-laying” topic. In Australia we have two egg-laying mammals. On Boxing Day, when we found the first Gang-gang Cockatoos for our 2019 bird list, we encountered an Echidna.

Corey never figured out exactly what the bird was trying to eat (Some kind of egg sac? The post Best Bird of the Weekend (First of October 2019) appeared first on 10,000 Birds.

So my favorites for 2019 includes a good number of birds that are rather common elsewhere, but were firsts for me. But the Kentish Plover was sheltering its young under its body, and the Little Ringed Plover was incubating an egg — right in the middle of downtown Madrid! But… Been there, done most of those.

Penguins are shown individually in groups, in dense colonies, within habitat (ice, rainforest, beach), swimming in the ocean, and doing things–nose to nose with an albatross, feeding a child, placing an egg on its foot, sliding down ice. Press, 2011).
