It has come to my attention that this blog needs more gulls. Of course this is self-evident as you can never have enough gulls on a bird blog, but this blog here is in an especially dire need of more gull posts for the simple reason that I have a few nice pictures of gulls that would make for a few nice posts.

Spotting Blackpoll Warblers around here breaks bittersweet; obviously, anyone would enjoy spotting one of these monochromatic songbirds, but with this late migrant comes the promise of months of little more than resident breeders. If you’ve blogged about your weekend experience, you should include a link in your comment. How about you?

And of course, on a rather rare occasion for this blog, an almost perfect link to the next bird (my favorite transition is still the Monty Python one: “And now for something completely different”). Then again, nobody would expect kids whose parents hire babysitters a lot to have a better life either.

Mid-June has so much to offer in the temperate zones, with breeders in one half of the world and migrants in the other. If you’ve blogged about your weekend experience, you should include a link in your comment. Those of you in the tropical zones can enjoy your resident birds in peace for once. How about you?

Antillean Nighthawks, which are best distinguished by call from the Common Nighthawks that share the same areas, seem to be highly localized breeders in the Florida Keys with regular records of singles in Miami-Dade county. Images for this week’s blog post are courtesy of Judd Patterson.

After taking an ornithology course last year, he was hooked and spends most of his free time birding or reading birding blogs. Its layout is intuitive, grouping birds into six categories by habitat and habits; it covers all 77 known regular breeders with additional information on other known visitors (376 total).

Like manky mallards, ganky geese display remarkable variety due to both the methodical manipulations of breeders and the variable volatility of the more natural kind of breeding. Besides founding 10,000 Birds and I and the Bird , Mike has also created a number of other entertaining sites and resources, particularly the Nature Blog Network.

There are charismatic birds like Barrow’s Goldeneye, Evening Grosbeak, Red and White-winged Crossbills; mysterious seabirds like Leach’s Storm-Petrel; ‘little brown jobs’ like Winter Wren and Nelson’s Sparrow; a treasury of warbler species, 27 in all, many state breeders.

My way of squeezing more blog posts out of my birding trips. The species is a cooperative breeder – birds other than the parents help feed the chicks. I guess that it is easier to set up blinds here than in the national park – and many of the star birds are quite similar. Here are a few photos from the area.

For those males who pride themselves on being good karaoke singers, it may be pleasing to hear that among male Japanese Thrushes, males breeding with two females tended to have more various trills than monogamous male breeders ( source ). Not this one though.

And of course, what you see in the background of these two photos is a Bronze Mannikin , giving me what is perhaps one of the best links in the personal history of my bird blog writing (low standards, admittedly). Great White Pelican is not just the name of a non-existent glam-rock band but also of a bird species.

Dragan seems to be confused as to what blog he writes on, as his BBOTY isn’t even a bird, but here’s how he described his encounter in his blog post : The next morning, through Yellowhammers and Eurasian Skylarks singing all around me, I went birding. If three times is a charm what is four times?

Whilst most Turtle Doves present in Morocco during the summer periods are probably local breeders the possibility of late arrivals or early returners from the British breeding population getting caught up in the slaughter was a real threat.

But then, I am not a cooperative breeder either (nor a non-cooperative one, should this term exist). This Grey-capped Pygmy Woodpecker in particular is a species I would like to get much better photos of. Such a cute bird deserves a better representation. Well, they live in groups, something I would never survive.

Having come back to the blog in whatever form and persistency, the overarching subject of language in birding seemed to be a suitable and deserving theme since bird names were part of my original beat. You know, cavity breeders. Nevertheless, I felt it was time for a new post.

Apparently , the two main factors influencing double brooding are the individual quality of the breeder and the timing of the first clutch. Some hoopoe individuals must like chicks a lot, even resorting to double brooding. Who are these weirdoes? Red-flanked Bluetails make shorter stopovers during spring migration (average 1.7
