Cattle wandered this pasture along with me (one cow even attempted to taste my carbon fiber tripod). Each week a new species tried to test the patch for nesting territory. They usually leave the nest at about 10 to 11 days–regardless, that is some fast growing! It’s a good strategy for Bobolinks to have.

This year will be tough on many birds as further mudflat destruction to construct factories in China means that they may not be able to feed in areas that they have known in the past. I am often amazed how tolerant the shorebirds are on big tides.

These birds include a cave-dwelling bird that is so oily it can be used as a lamp and a bird that has claws on its wings and a stomach like a cow. We test the hypothesis that these suites of traits have evolved independently on each island via natural selection pressures from one of two predator regimes – birds-only and birds + snakes.

In the case of brood parasitism, made famous by the many species of Cuckoo as well as cow birds and some fiches, among others, one might expect the host birds to evolve anti-parasitism strategies. The authors tested the idea that brood parisites benefit, in terms of fitness, by targeting species with the helper-at-the-nest strategy.
