Over the next few days, I found increasing numbers, goldfinches, juncos, white-throated sparrows. FLAP is the Fatal Light Awareness Program, located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and this is how they raise awareness.

Some of the lazier Common Moorhens apparently try to pass the arduous work of raising their chicks on to other species -a paper describes how Little Bitterns are utilized as surrogate parents. In Shanghai, one way to find out was to measure the concentration of these chemicals in Eurasian Tree Sparrows from different locations.
