His personal fieldwork, supplemented with research into records dating back to 1794, are melded here to create not merely an exhaustive list of recorded species with notes on their status, dates, and population trends, but a portrait of a patch.

According to these researchers, only the exceptionally intelligent herons acquire the skill of bait fishing. They only need to master the technique by practicing; they are born knowing what to do.
research papers). Thanks to my research on eBird, I was expecting to find them there, but it was still a great surprise to see so many and hear them so well!

And of course, some Chinese researchers worked on the complete mitochondrial genome of the Greater Coucal. Are these the paper mills one occasionally reads about in relation to Chinese research papers? I think they just got what they deserved. A fairly obscure paper reports on the Greater Coucal feeding on a Common Myna chick.
Azure-winged Magpies are cooperative breeders, and it seems that there is a connection between having a larger repertoire of calls and being a social species (me, not being very social, I usually get by with just three different grunting sounds). Some ornithological research is surprisingly simple.
