Here’s a prediction: Parrots , falcons , and seriemas are on their way to new positions in your checklists and, eventually, field guides. However, evidence has mounted in recent years that falcons are not closely related to other diurnal raptors and seriemas don’t belong anywhere near gruiform birds. I like this one too.)
Last month, I wrote about hypothesized relationships between passerines, parrots, falcons, and seriemas , noting a need for further research on the subject. The post stimulated some great discussions but not really any additional commentary on the science behind these proposed relationships. Ringer Suh et al.
Birkhead, the experienced storyteller who is also Emeritus Professor at the School of Biosciences, The University of Sheffield, author of multiple scientific articles as well as books of popular science, knows how to make it readable and fun. Common Guillemot research at Skomer Island, Wales. Beagle , pt.
The magnificent history and diversity of birds on Earth came into sharper focus this month with the publication of 28 new scientific papers in Science and other journals. Follow him on Twitter — he’s regularly tweeting great highlights from the research project. American Flamingo photo by Dick Culbert). (l-r) Jarvis et al.
He enjoys combining his passion for birds with computer science background to model nocturnal bird migration. In my case, I had one easy and three more difficult ( Syrian Woodpecker , Imperial Eagle , Great Bustard and Saker Falcon ). research papers). Search for my target species (i.e. Search for “local special”.
This is more than eBird reports–a checklist generated from the citizen science database lists only 1,413 species. Argentinian Julián Quillén Vidoz, is both a co-author and an illustrator of Birds of Bolivia , and is apparently one of those multi-talented birders, with research (in Bolivia), guiding, and illustration on his resume.
Clearly, author Phyllis Limbacher Tildes, the author of 24, soon to be 25, children’s books, is also a birder (and a little research brings up a presentation she gave at Ogeechee Audubon, Georgia with the biographical information and she and her family “love watching birds and wildlife seen near their lagoon on Skidaway Island.”
Osborn, a passionate field biologist who participates to the core of her being three re-introduction projects aimed at saving three very different, endangered species: Peregrine Falcon, Hawaiian Crow (‘Alala)*, and California Condor. She never finds her long days observing her falcons, crows, and condors boring. Endangered.
It’s a book that counterpoints and combines facts and personal experiences, science-based and eloquent writing styles, textual description and visual information, a history of abundance and an uncertain future. They are by Karlson, from his years as a research biologist in Alaska, and Ted Swem, a U.S.
This is a delightful book, large (8-1/2 by 11 inches), filled with Sibley’s distinctive artwork and an organized potpourri of research-based stories about the science behind bird’s lives. copyright @2020 by David A llen Sibley. As Sibley tells us in the Preface, he originally intended to write a children’s book.
What year was the Red-footed Falcon seen in Massachusetts? He has led birding tours for many years and is a research associate at Point Blue Conservation Science. Is research on patterns of occurrence contributing to a larger body of knowledge that will in turn help us recognize environmental threats?

Finding scientific research related to the species online is difficult as the word Merlin is used for so many other things as well – a bird ID app, a wizard ( e.g., “A typical depiction of Merlin tends to be of an old, cloaked wizard with a long white beard.”), of the total, a sobering thought). ”), etc.
