Many of the birds now have mostly completed moving into their breeding plumage, the Laughing Gulls , Herrmann’s Gulls , and both Elegant and Royal Terns were all looking exceptionally nice. There it is!
Even more than warbler, shorebird, and sparrow identification, this is a field that tests our endurance (gull watching is too often done in bitter cold, windy conditions), patience (even getting one good photo can take hours as you try to separate the ‘interesting gull’ from the flock), observational skills (so many plumages!)
to the ongoing conservation of breeding Lesser Flamingos at Kimberley’s Kamfers Dam to the Albatross Task Force, which works with fishermen to find solutions to seabird bycatch (birds caught in fishermen’s nets).

One way to organize these ponderous complexities is to refer to our Tinbergen. And then there is the loon. The same may well be true of navigation.
