Or would be, had I encountered more of them – so far, I have seen only a very small share of the approximately 233 woodpecker species, and got decent photos of an even smaller number – not much more than 10% of all of them. So, writing a post about them is easy.

For example, humans have “Theory of Mind” which is not a theory in the scientific sense, but rather, a capacity whereby we have an internal theory of what is going on in other people’s minds. A number of research projects have sought to determine if some of these human brain abilities are found in other animals. Here’s the idea.

Penguins are cartoons, emoticons, animated films, children’s books (though owls really take first place here), sports teams, a book publisher, and a Batman villain (a rare example of penguin negativity, though Burgess Meredith did bring an endearing attitude to his 1960’s TV portrayal). © Otto Plantema, used with permission.

If you have birded very long, you are probably aware that members of closely related bird species, when their ranges overlap, sometimes love each other very much, and have babies. When this happens particularly often, such hybridization processes can result in entirely new species.

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.

A little research revealed that these are old names of birds that have been split into different species.

But does the value of a particular trip come from the number of birds seen, viewing a particular species, seeing an endangered species, catching a glimpse of a rarity, adding a lifer, or something else? For example, binoculars and field guides have a cost that can be measured in dollars. What is that and why does it matter?

Dozens of other introduced bird species, largely escapees from pet owners, now call Miami home.
