Great to have this module studied! A very interesting and informative course to help with the progression of my career as an ornithologist. #CCOrnithology

Every year the American Ornithological Society announces its updates to the official checklist of birds in North America. This year's supplement, as it's called, is chock-full of changes, with one species getting lumped with another, several new species being added via splits, and a raft of name changes for other familiar birds. Check out the full list of updates here—and see if you need to update your life list! bit.ly/4dTa338

A wonderful course where the ecosystem and the important parts within it : the Ornithology and Wetlands are well illustrated. #Conservation #Wetland #Ornithology

In addition to their scientific names, birds are also given official English names. Take the bird commonly known as the rain crow, for example, officially referred to as the Yellow-billed Cuckoo by the American Ornithological Society. Its scientific name is Coccyzus americanus. Of course, the bird doesn’t care what you call it, so long as it has plenty of hairy caterpillars to snack on. https://lnkd.in/g4jbR3i6

Just published in the Journal of Caribbean Ornithology, this perspective article addresses the nomenclatural history of the Puerto Rican Tody (Todus mexicanus) and the circumstances that warrant changing mexicanus to borinquensis. https://lnkd.in/gyUs_TvS

OVER HALF A BILLION BIRDS. That’s how many will be migrating over the US on the night of September 27 and nearly that number—473 million—tonight. Latest studies by American Bird Conservancy and Daniel Klem, Jr., show that over 1 BILLION birds die every year from crashing into glass, in the US alone. The number is staggering, but with almost half a billion birds flying in one night, it’s suddenly not so hard to believe. So, make sure you turn off your lights to give safe passage to the birds. A proper #lightsout program with glass treatment is the one-two combo for bird conservation. Treat your glass with Feather Friendly or Bird Divert markers. It’s not too late this season—do it before temperatures dip below 10 degree C!
