If you’re a homebody who cherishes your quiet time, you most likely don’t want a talkative breed that requires constant exercise, for example. Although every dog is a unique individual, there are characteristics that are inherent in certain breeds which could help you find the right dog for your personality type.

To see the best example of this phenomenon, check out Wally Rufous’ photo here. She will begin breeding in April. The female is the earliest breeder of all these species, arriving on breeding grounds shortly after the males in November. She is the latest of our local breeders, not nesting usually until mid-May.

These wild birds migrate out of Florida to northern breeding areas in the spring and are not present in Florida during the mottled duck breeding season. The situation in Florida with mottled ducks and feral mallards is comparable to these examples in that we have a small, isolated population that is closely related to the mallard.

For example, over the past decade, the population in the Gulf of Maine has dropped by 40 percent. Some of those once-popular breeding spots now produce no chicks at all. Perhaps because of threats to the ecosystems of the many places the Arctic Tern visits (Europe, Africa, South America, and North America), it may be on the decline.

The Osprey is one of the true cosmopolitans of the avian world, found on six continents and breeding on five. It’s not that they’re some special, rare endemic that would readily symbolize our own unique little mountain valley. Because the stadium is by the river. And Osprey love them some nest platforms.

For example, I have birded 4 continents, Europe, Southern Africa, South Asia and Central America and have seen 200-300 species in every region, yet, due to overlapping, they do not even sum up to a 10% of all bird species! And there may be two thousand and quite possibly fewer birders who fit the aforementioned positions.

That trip was fun, as it reminded me of the delights of watching birds like Golden Plover and even Meadow Pipit on their breeding grounds. I see lots of Golden Plovers in the winter, but (like so many waders) they are birds transformed when in their breeding finery. Crakes are difficult to see on their breeding grounds.
