"Satellite tracking has allowed a research team to uncover the mysteries of the migration of Eleanora's falcon for the first time. In total, the bird flies more than 9,500 kilometres across the African continent from the Balearic and Columbretes Islands before reaching the island of Madagascar. Some of the previously-obscure secrets now revealed by the scientists show that these falcons migrate by both day and night, and cross supposed ecological barriers such as the Sahara Desert." - John (a.k.a. dendroica) from Bookmarklet

"The tagged falcons started their migration of more than 9,500 kilometres in the autumns of 2007 and 2008, travelling from the Balearic Islands to Madagascar. The new discovery made by this study was that the falcons do not fly over the waters of the Mediterranean and along the East African coast, but instead cross straight over the African continent. The satellite tracking data have... more... - John (a.k.a. dendroica)

One of the larger members of its family, the Pine Grosbeak is a bird of the boreal forests, found across northern Eurasia and North America, and south into the mountains of western Canada and the United States. A large, unwary finch, it makes periodic winter irruptions into southern Canada and northern United States. It is the largest and rarest of the "winter finches." - Fossil Huntress

Gorgeous! - burdr

It is not unusual for smaller birds to attack raptors when they get anywhere near the next. National Geographic has a series of shots of King birds attacking a large red-tailed hawk that was hunting in their territory. This looks suspiciously like one of those. - Phil Boiarski

"Traveler alumnus and Travel Telegraph blogger Emily Haile is spending the next several months in Taiwan, and she sent us a note from her new home: Before I left home, I looked on Flickr for some photos of Taiwan and was immediately captivated by the photographs of John&Fish. When I arrived in the city, I sent them a message through Flickr. A few days later, they were driving me to their home overlooking the Waishuangxi River (sometime written Waishuangsi). Fish set out a feast of sushi and sashimi that was entirely vegetarian. They are devout buddhists, and will not eat any kind of flesh. Between bites, they told me about their adventures bird watching in Taiwan. By day, they work for a software programming company; every weekend they turn into avid birdwatchers, driving around the island and into the mountains in search of kingfishers, grebes, terns, and egrets. John shows me his camera. The lens looks about as long as an elephant's trunk." - Rachel Lea Fox from Bookmarklet

"10 / 20: An arctic tern. Seabirds breeding in Scotland have had their most productive year for almost a decade, according to the RSPB Scotland. A 'plentiful supply' of food in the form of sand eels and other small fish seems to have contributed to successes for many species that have struggled to raise chicks in recent years.

"Blue tits use medicinal plants to disinfect their nests, scientists have discovered. The birds line their nests with aromatic plants such as mint or lavender, which kill bacteria. That creates a more sterile environment for chicks, which in turn grow faster and have a better chance of survival." - John (a.k.a. dendroica) from Bookmarklet

James, what part of the continent are you in? There are a few different subspecies of Fox sparrows. Eastern ones are really red, but western ones tend to be darker, like dark chocolate or sepia. - John (a.k.a. dendroica)
