I have always assumed that scientific researchers can overlay weather information on checklists for their research, but absent manual entry, that such information would not be available to me. I want to help environmental and research organizations create more useful tools and resources.

Researchers studying the Fork-tailed Drongo (like the one above spotted by Redgannet) found that these birds essentially “cry wolf” to steal the food of others. But our new nest is, at last, well on its way to getting feathered. So without further ado, here’s what’s been going on the past few weeks in bird news.

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.

I am not sure if this is totally true in the widest sense, especially when it comes to the question of WHY birds migrate (I’m asked this question constantly by beginning birders and would love an answer that doesn’t involve a garble of words about magnetic fields, genetics, and scarcity of resources).
