Because “duck, duck, goose” is a little too wintry (at least in the Northern Hemisphere) for a post written in the dog days of August. Researchers are planning to ask the American Ornithologists’ Union to make the split official. The bird is so rare and elusive that it was thought to be extinct.

Late summer 2023 the lakes and ponds had been empty, presumably because the ducks and geese were moulting. Empty no more, the ponds were now brimming with ducks of all creeds and persuasions – it was spectacular. If there were such a thing as a Periodic Table of Ducks we went from hydrogen to uranium: every duck imaginable was there.

The term “Eastern Waterbirds” may include many different types of birds, from waders to shorebirds to ducks such as the stunning King Eider above to any of the many gulls and terns that migrate through Atlantic waters.

Separating ducks and coots is one thing, but separating hawks and falcons? The SACC will have to determine whether they believe there’s strong enough evidence to make these changes now, or whether to wait for additional published research before making such significant sequence changes. I think that would be a tough sell.

According to these researchers, only the exceptionally intelligent herons acquire the skill of bait fishing. Interestingly some of these ponds are favored by these herons for foraging and have ducks that are fed by people. Indeed only a small percentage of Green and Striated Herons (both closely related) engage in bait-fishing.

That innate sense of direction is, according to recent research, a result of the ability to detect the earth’s magnetic field. And they are continually hitching onto different wind systems – which means they must know where they are at all times. Where, physically, is the bird’s sensor located? And do humans share this ability?
