A logical and outstanding successor to The Genius of Birds (2016), Ackerman’s award-winning book about bird cognition, The Bird Way explores the diversity of bird behavior, the norm and the extremes, with an emphasis on cutting-edge research and findings that explode assumptions. Yet, the research projects are never the whole story.

Signaling theory comes up frequently in bird literature (one example I can think of off-hand is Nick Davies’ Cuckoo: Cheating by Nature, Bloomsbury, 2015), but if you’re not familiar with its basic ideas you must read the Introduction. I do wish there was more about research on female bird song. And, that’s it.

These hurricanes prompted a personal interest in the impact of hurricanes on birds, so I did some research, which ultimately led to an article in the April 2018 issue of Birding magazine. For example, hummingbirds must find patches where there are still flowers. For example, most nectivore numbers continued to be low.

Well, Chester Lamb was a researcher for University of California, Berkeley… who died in 1965. Here are a few of the examples I showed these students: Many indicated they had seen Red Warbler s. Another sign of progress here, is that Chester Lamb has now dropped to #7 in the list of Michoacán’s all-time birders.

Here are ten titles (it could have been more) selected for their uniqueness, excellence in writing and research, and giftability. For example, many photos are shot in poor light, obscuring the true colours. Whittaker’s research aims to disprove the centuries-old assumption that birds do not have a sense of smell.

The HBW entry for the Downy Woodpecker (Reno, USA) illustrates a common phenomenon – apparently, the more a species is known, the more subjects for further research pop up. For example, the Northern Flicker (Reno, USA) is always interested in discussing the nutritional merits of different ant species.

For example, the standard QWERTY keyboard is arguably inefficient and there are likely better alternatives. In practice, this means that proposals to the NACC advocating a change to a long-established English name must present a strongly compelling, well-researched, and balanced rationale.

This is an idea that has been around for more than a century, to which recent research has given considerable support. For example,this may be a case of non-linear evolution.

The bottom line is that we do not have enough information or research to give a definitive answer as to whether to not it’s harmful to birds. I know this going to be shock but Purple Martins are a great example (the above photo is an example of Purple Martin habitat taken at Horicon Marsh ). These are colony nesting birds.

Unfortunately, no one knows for sure, despite constant research. Chickadees for example, primarily eat seeds, if the bill is misshapen to the extent that they cannot open up the seeds, they cannot eat. So far, they have discovered 2000+ cases of chickadees as well as other birds that have a beak deformity.

A knowledgeable birder and great company, he was able to forget just about everything.

Where predators are rare, turning more attention to feeding might produce a Darwinian benefit, for example. The most famous example of this is probably the Galapagos Islands.
