Penguins are flightless, but some species locomote over long distances on antarctic ice to travel between breeding grounds and the sea.

Others, like the petrels and some of the auks, will lay a single egg per breeding attempt. The investment placed in each clutch bur seabirds is so great that only one breeding attempt can be seen to completion each year. They are cavity nesters, breeding in natural cavities or holes dug into the soil.

He writes about how experienced birders think, and how they draw on the sciences of weather, geography, and ecology to analyze where the birds will be.

Data were collected from the North American Breeding Bird Survey and the Pan-European Common Birds Monitoring Scheme. For example, if a highly competitive common bird species expands its range into a region where local, more rare species exist, they could get pushed out. Stephens, Philip, et al. 352:6281(84-87).

What I didn’t know was how this relationship actually works: the mechanics of Red Knot migration, the reduced digestive systems necessary for their long flighta, the need to fatten up quickly so they can fly to the Arctic and breed, how they compete with other shorebirds and gulls and, it turns out, humans, for horseshoe crab eggs.

According to the HBW, when breeding, male birds do most of the incubation and parenting while females often leave the nest up to one week before the eggs hatch. Where it is not – for example, in Japan – it will have difficulties finding a partner to mate. End of side note. To female readers then: the Pheasant-tailed Jacana.

They breed in colonies scattered around the Antarctic continent (the number ranges from 60 to 70, and as Kooyman points out, the colonies can drastically change in size from year to year) on the ice (and one of the things I learned from this book is how many different kinds of ice there is in the Antarctic) in the darkest months of winter.
