A final thought: whether you think collective nouns are fascinating or idiotic , the more fundamental question is, why do they exist at all or, rather, how did they come to be? In short, the Birder Murders are getting better and better as they come off the presses, with A Shimmer of Hummingbirds the most dazzling of all — so far.

The Guan had never been seen in the wild after Polish Naturalist Wladyslaw Taczanowski collected one individual in 1876.

Because one lucky birder got to collect the poop with the hope it can be used to get the bird’s DNA and that way we’ll know what we saw, provided we can find a lab that will do the work and hasn’t closed due to COVID.

On a positive note, it makes it easier for those male hornbills that do not like kids to focus on what they are good at (collecting fruit and handing them to the wife through a slit in the hole).

Observers have noted these colorful crows flying up to 18km to and fro from an old oakwood when collecting acorns. They are normally shy and relatively secretive woodland birds, but at this time of the year when they are in full acorn-collecting mode, they become much bolder and more conspicuous. It’s a different matter in the spring.
