A large removal of buckthorn or any other trees can cause birds to abandon a yard. If it’s a case of birds abandoning a feeding station, it could be that the food offered is old: did you get that seed at an unbelievable discount–chances are it’s old and if your neighbor is offering fresher fare the birds will visit them.

Well, now it has really fallen apart and they have abandoned it. The items gathered vary depending on the location and some Great Bowerbirds appear to be better at stealing than others! You may remember the Great Bowerbird bower in Cygnet Park , which was under some dead vegetation. The bower in the post 2 years ago.

A Gray-cheeked Thrush contemplates abandoning all dignity and face-diving into an orange. If you ask me, no bird looks more at home with an orange than a male Baltimore. Like peas and carrots. Tennessee Warbler. Of all warblers, the humble and adaptable TEWA has the strongest preference for oranges. Northern Parula.

Today, Barn Owls can be found across both islands, hunting open fields at twilight or comfortably resting in abandoned relics of the sugar cane industry. Years later, a small group of us ventured into some forest adjoining abandoned cocoa estates in central Trinidad searching for a view of this bird.

Barreling into your feeder with reckless abandon and cleaning you right out. But imagine those flocks are verdant green, a color unmatched by any native bird currently in North American (north of Mexico, of course). Imagine those sun-headed, screeching demons alighting on a stand of cockleburrs or sweetgum or sycamore. Can you imagine it?

The pair was industriously hollowing out a nest in an old abandoned ant nest on the branch of a Mango tree.

After doing all this pretty much by themselves, the females abandon the young before they can fly, usually 30 to 50 days after they hatch. Females often move broods downstream to larger lakes, rivers and bays from smaller streams and ponds near the nest site 1. They are able to fly at 60 to 75 days old and do just fine without mom.

If you work with other people, one of you holds the newly-arrived bird and the other one cleans, bandages, splints, wraps, and, if need be, chases down and kills the flat flies that start abandoning ship once they suspect the Mite and Lice Spray is coming. However, if you work alone and there are flat flies, you’re up a creek.

One heron had the good sense to abandon his quest quickly. It didn’t look like that special of a stick to me, but then, I’m not a Night Heron. No, these are not time-lapse photographs. Three birds, in real time. Another refused to give up, which led to a bit of a tussle. That must be a primo stick!

My son laughed out loud, of course, and then described the message of the bird’s descending moans as “This is where I decided life is no longer worth living” I told him that my first thought was “Abandon all hope, ye who enter here” Either way, that is one comically sad song.

You can tell which abandoned lots host owls by a small roped off area with the tell-tale t-bars that the owls perch upon.

That small city is the launching pad for tourism to the eastern Monarch Butterfly’s wintering grounds. Birding tourism could certainly help bridge this gap.

Targeting a nest that is just approaching completion, the flycatchers persistently annoy the builders until they eventually abandon the nest. Their name is no accident – Piratic Flycatchers closely monitor the nesting activities of pendulous-nesting species like Crested Oropendolas and Yellow-rumped Caciques.

The road went past some ruins that had been abandoned by the town people some 100 years ago and it followed the river gorge for 10 km on its way down to the Amazon. This was followed by a couple of trucks and motorcycles that drove past the cabañas from the town to their small farms to milk the cows.

Yes, a coconut, abandoned on the ice of Meadow Lake. It’s vaguely rail-like, no? Closer examination, through my spotting scope, without the heat haze issue, revealed the true identity of the not-bird. It was a coconut. I don’t understand either. At least I took some pretty pictures of pigeons.

As a youngster of 10-weeks old, it is abandoned by its parents and left to fend for itself. The long shifts before swapping duties reduce the number of times that the birds have to run the gauntlet of the gulls and increase their chances of succesfully raising the chick to the age of abandonment.
