 Re: Good morning
The birds are back.
Thy arn't exhibiting significant flockng behavior and the songs are
different.
Birds always exhibit flocking behavior.
Basically speaking.
Birds often sing different songs that change with the season.
The difference is distinct, unlike for example the early times red wing
blackbird.
In the spring the young redwing has a "partial" song. Or it has a
variance. The older birds then stop singing, Then the whole swamp will
be covered with their song, until a joung one contradicts. Then silence.
By late summer the swamp has a much better fully formed dialect of
RedWing song.
Redwings like swamps.
Birds, in general, have dialects over certain regions.
Same song but.....its accented quite differently often.
But a Cat Bird has a BEAUUTIFUL song in the spring, and flys in the
open.
By fall they live in the bushes and make a mew cat sound. A different
song.
there was lots going on out there just now. All kinds of bird sound
relations and behavior, nota mob.
Mobing is a transpeial behavior among birds. In response to the same
transpecial language bird song. ALL the birds understand.
Same as warning crys. A Sparrow does it, and a Bluejay hear it the same
thing.
Whenever there is a sudden cease to bird songs search for a circling
hawk.
Sometimes the same cry goes off for Buzzards floating around in the sky.
They mistake the behavior as a hawk.
I'm pretty sure I've seen "anger" song that is transpecial. All the
birds have this same one tone rapid trill, and everybody shuts up and/or
moves away.
The birds are back.
In central New Jersey.
