Frigatebirds don’t occur in the cold waters of the coast of Peru and Chile, but Band-tailed Gulls (Larus belcheri) have developed similar strategy. Instead of hovering, some gulls have set up territories within breeding colonies of Humboldt seabirds. And the story repeats itself multiple times during the day.

Its population actually fluctuates in response to the availability of Spruce Budworm and though it nests on the ground it is entirely inseparable from the forests of the north during breeding season. Even more surprising is that Tennessee Warblers often molt and migrate simultaneously, a strategy that few other birds take advantage of.

Starvation and predators make it hard to grow up, and birds have evolved a lot of strategies to give (at least some of) their chicks the best chance in life. One strategy that varies among birds (and other animals) is the number of offspring. Seabirds are one group of birds that go for the latter strategy.

Predators that rely on lemmings, like the Snowy Owl , took advantage of the bounty and had great breeding success, raising large broods which, after the lemming population crashes, dispersed far and wide. And while I haven’t made it over their yet I hope to before they disperse into breeding territories. I’m a messy eater.

They are two strikingly different strategies, both of which seem to working well this spring, as everywhere one turns there is new life on the Tundra. Horned Larks breed widely over North America, including up here in the High Arctic. They are fed by one or both parents, even after they’ve fledged and left the nest.

Groups may also contain up to 10 male and female non-breeding helpers, usually offspring of the group produced in prior years 1. The result of this cooperative breeding strategy is that fledging success increases with group size and survivorship is also significantly higher for all birds living in these larger groups 1.
