Well, the blog is back just in time for me to post a story… which is annoying as it would be nice to have a week off without having to fabricate a story for Mike and Corey to cover my bone idle nature. The Oriental Pied Hornbills are pretty special, as they represent a recolonization of Singapore of this family. We can hope!

They are the only dabbling duck that regularly breeds in the marshes of the south and while they are a Species of Least Concern because of their large range and population, according to BirdLife International, there is concern that they will be genetically swamped by Mallards , with whom they readily hybridize. Will the excitement never end?

And, as a bonus question, from what blog post on 10,000 Birds is the picture taken? Though wood-warblers, the mostly brightly colored birds of the family Parulidae, are only found in the New World we felt that birders the world over would be pleased to see a plethora of posts about these striking and sought after species.

The latter figure very significant when you remember that many breeding passerines depend on the humble caterpillar to feed themselves and their offspring. Native trees, unsurprisingly, had a far higher insect biodiversity and a far higher biomass of insect life. POST SCRIPT.

That’s right, I, along with my family and some really good friends, was camping. And one that I have written about before when I was pleased to find Blackburnian Warblers like the one above breeding.). Check out my mom’s blog post where she has a nice shot of my father and I looking at the wood-warblers.

Bird blogging in May always gives me the creeps. To us on the traditional side of the Atlantic, they’ll always belong to the family Iznogoudae , the birds who want to become warblers instead of the warblers. And do they ever try so hard. Imagine, they think they can beat the original by applying colours to their plumage.

Outside of the breeding season a few birds may join together in a loose flock if the feeding is good. The resolution has been reduced for the blog, but in high-res, 2 or 3 dark filaments are visible. The nom de blog Redgannet was adopted to add an air of mystery and to make himself more attractive to women. Their function?

Some other members of the shrike family were a bit less testosterone-driven at Nanhui – like this Bull-headed Shrike … … this rather attractive-looking Tiger Shrike … … or one of the many Brown Shrikes passing through Nanhui on migration. Then, I was not sure whether this was the right thing to do. ” Hm.

Just like we did last year my family spent this past weekend camping at North Lake State Park, up in New York’s gorgeous Catskill Mountains. And, not surprisingly, the breeding birds present were largely the same species as last year which was not a problem at all! The horror! It’s about birds!

Mike Freiberg grew up in Philadelphia, PA, where his family introduced him to the world of birding. His summers during college were spent as a biological technician, monitoring breeding birds for Point Reyes Bird Observatory in Eastern Oregon, and also five seasons in Black Hills, SD, working for the Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory.

The breeding ecology of the Yellow-bellied Warbler was actually studied exactly here at Nonggang in 2019 by 3 Chinese researchers. 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”).

There is a very distinctive smell found on seabird colonies, where thousands upon thousands of birds come to breed and, coincidentally, deposit large quantities of waste. Most of the images, particularly those taken during the corm banding, where taken by a number of interns who all shared the images at the end of the season.

In the new world all meadowlarks and blackbirds, along with grackles, cowbirds, orioles, oropendulas, and some others, are members of the family Icteridae , the New World Blackbirds. Blackbirds are blackbirds. Meadowlarks are meadowlarks. You can also find Red-breasted Blackbirds in Costa Rica and Panama and south to Peru and Brazil.

Perhaps the middle section of blog posts should be relatively boring in order to get rid of the more casual readers. For some reason, the Mandarin Chinese name of the Scarlet Minivet translates as “Red Mountain Pepper Bird” I do hope a Chinese reader of this blog can explain the origin or meaning of this name.

Every spring they totally steal the show in the northeast and you really can’t blame birders for abandoning their jobs, their families, and their sanity as they rush to New York City’s abundant and amazing parks to see the show live and in technicolor. Why are you inside reading a blog? And, of course, the wood-warblers.

The one bird I did not see here, however, was the Bateleur Eagle … One highlight in the area is the Saddle-billed Stork , likely to be the tallest species in the stork family. Another member of the stork family, the African Openbill , looks like it is could benefit from a good orthodontist. And sadly, it is listed as Endangered.

Third of all, the bird that was first seen on 30 October is, as of this blog posting, STILL THERE! Here’s hoping this bird makes it back to its home turf to breed and comes back to spend another winter in New York State! It made it through the rough winter and is still coming around to the feeders.

The source of this ranking, BirdLife International, lists Bolivia as currently having 1,439 bird species, including 18 breeding endemics. Like most maps, colors are used to indicate seasonal status (breeding resident, Austral migrant/visitor, Boreal migrant, etc.). Distribution maps are also different from other field guides.

This link is to ANIMAL's blog , written in Portuguese. Plus, the government is demonizing certain breeds of dogs even though they are very much victims. In the Azores, where my family is from, I don't think there are any laws whatsoever. ANIMAL says that the legislation is not effective and is too loose.

For example, I can tell “Search Saver” where I live, and what type of breed I am looking for. We have begun blogging and created a Twitter Page along with a Facebook Page.

Such an embarrassingly populist title of a blog post should obviously be followed by some dry facts. Here goes: Paradise Flycatchers are a genus in the broader (and rather large) family of Monarchidae. There are 17 different species of them, a few of them endangered, particularly some island endemics.
