Since no-one lives here, there is no organised rubbish collecting. Birds of prey include European Honey-buzzard , Long-legged Buzzard , Short-toed Eagle , Booted Eagle , Montagu’s Harrier , etc. The Danube being 3 km wide here has another, sad consequence: all floating rubbish is being wind-blown to this bank.

The HBW admires their nest-building capability: “observed to operate with great precision, in perfect collaboration [between the two birds]” Bronzed Drongos are good mimics with a wide repertoire of species they can imitate – the HBW gives Crested Serpent-eagle, Javan Cuckoo-shrike, and Orange-bellied Leafbird as examples.

I started the campaign for the protection of Beljarica, raising public awareness and collecting more than 10,000 petition signatures, not only because of its Eurasian Otters , White-tailed Eagles , Black Storks , Icterine and Eastern Olivaceous Warblers , etc., but because this large spillway protects the city from flooding.

Recent studies in Sri Lanka have revealed that, upon sighting a predator, a drongo will imitate the alarm calls of at least 4 other bird species (babblers, laughing thrushes, bulbuls, and others), as well as the call given by the specific predator, i.e. a giant squirrel or eagle.

But when both birds approached an eagle, it attacked: the hawk was able to evade the eagle, but not so the crow, which was killed instantly.

A good example is once when I was visiting Wyoming, I found a checklist from a few years earlier that had 750 Horned Larks, 100 Lapland Longspurs, and a Golden Eagle at a nondescript place called “Beef Unit.” It helps flesh out the checklist and account for peculiar presence or absence of birds.

Owls and eagles and ducks and hummingbirds and parrots and woodpeckers are all things that a regular nonbirding joe or jane can, with time and a few color photographs, see the appeal of. As I had cause to observe last weekend, the great divide between birders and nonbirders is best expressed through gulls.

Many are familiar with dissecting owl pellets, but several birds will caste a pellet including hawks, eagles, gulls, herons and heck, I once witnessed a Scissor-tailed Flycatcher hack up a small one. For example, since eagles and hawks tend to rip their prey apart and have stronger digestive acids, their pellets look like wads of fur.

Such bristles, small hairlike feathers around the base of a bird’s beak, are found on most flycatchers as well as a wide range of other species from eagles to nightjars. In this case, it refers to the bird’s lack of rictal bristles. Please do not yell at me.
