Along the wayward route, the Phalarope made stops in Iceland, Greenland, the continental U.S., The researchers theorize that these birds might not be strays from the Scandinavian Phalarope population, but instead perhaps originally from North America. the Caribbean islands, and Ecuador and Peru.
And now we get to the part of the post in which I briefly and unscientifically mention a few research papers on the species to have a reason to post a few more of my photos. It seems the paper is on the effect of swan feeding and swan movement on the release of nutrients, but given the language, I cannot be too sure about this.
Smith is the Staff Scientist Emeritus with the Smithsonian’s Tropical Research Centre in Panama. The work was widely cited, followed up with an article in Scientific American and the research appeared (and I may be wrong still appears) in textbooks.
First was an awesome stay in Iceland. Here’s his second stop: Our second destination after Iceland was St. Petersburg on Iceland Air, which saved us time and helped us avoid a night’s stay at a hotel. Between finishing one graduate program and beginning another, he embarked on a whirlwind tour of Europe. Petersburg, Russia.
In June of 2013 he embarked on a whirlwind tour of Europe, spotting birds in Iceland , Russia , Finland , and, as you’re about to find out, Sweden: We took a quick flight from Helsinki and arrived in Stockholm, Sweden, arriving at our fourth country on this trip. This is truly a bird-lovers dream-destination.
Then it’s a matter of doing a little research on the internet to find who rang the bird you saw, and then emailing the details of your sighting. Black-tailed godwits winter in large numbers on the estuaries of both Norfolk and Suffolk, and we know that nearly all these birds breed in Iceland. One assumes Iceland, but there’s no proof.
Once a body of research was established and the bird was declared endangered, it took many more years of experimentation, political maneuvering, conflicts with the National Guard, and some tragic fires to establish what is now acclaimed as a model conservation project. Now there are volunteer guides, tours and a local festival.
Bolivar Flats Shorebird Sanctuary was an amazing and unexpected treat, but that’s because I failed to do my research. Eagle-eyed Pat spotted a Lesser Black-backed Gull in nonbreeding plumage and other birders that week noted a Thayer’s Gull (which we may have seen too–I mean, who expects Iceland Gull in April?).
The way Harrison explains it, its current “lump” with Iceland Gull is not satisfactory; he follows Malling Olsen (Danish field ornithologist and gull guide author) in keeping it as a full species “pending further study” (p. I was interested to see that Thayer’s Gull is maintained as a species here!
So, yes, Thayer’s Gull is in the book, but the reader is cautioned that the gull with be lumped with Iceland Gull “in the near future.” There are page references to and from the Species Accounts maps, which makes research transparently easy. The wonder of research?
