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.)

There are hawk cams , falcon cams , puffin cams , tern cams , heron cams , and even Osprey cams. Why else would they build their nest, which already contains two eggs, on the fire escape of the college’s science center? You’ve probably heard of many different kinds of bird cams—web feeds that spy on the inner lives of birds.

It protects familiar visitors like cardinals and chickadees; raptors such as bald eagles and prairie falcons, and, of course, the many ducks and other waterfowl that sportsmen treasure.

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.

Sometimes it’s hard to know what to think about science reporting on this vast Internet of ours. At some point, some kind of raptor — most likely a falcon — is going to independently invent barbecue. We also know that they are already putting their food into pits. This can mean only one thing.

The many eyes on this particular citizen-science prize have also yeilded other results as well. Now we gamble again (literally as well as figuratively – there’s a split-pot prize for predicting the dates of arrival, egg-laying, and other major events) on the hope that they will lay viable eggs and successfully rear young.

Not only is it a very impressive citizen science project that manages to marshal the legions of birders around Canada and the U.S., Time will tell how much good science can be wrung from the data (due to observer bias, misidentifications, the vastly differing skillsets of contributing observers, under-birded areas, etc.),
