Re: PESO European robin

Yes, robins defend their territory. In fact males and females both defend their own territory. Killing each other over territory is rare behavior for any species, except for Homo sapiens. This robin is puffed because it's currently around freezing temperatures. On Wed, 9 Dec 2020 at 23:32, mike

Excellent shot. A bit puffed up on account of the cooler weather? Alan C On 09-Dec-20 08:55 PM, Toine wrote: Birding isn't easy. The usual camera settings, keeping the contraption steady, focussing and composing the shot results in this: https://www.repiuk.nl/albums/new/#=1=006-002-img3996 I

Re: PESO European robin

Unfortunately, Robins are not nice little birds. The males fight to the death over territory and will also attack other birds smaller than themselves. It's very apt that they have red chests. > On 09 December 2020 at 22:11 "Daniel J. Matyola" wrote: > > > Nice little bird portrait! > >

PESO - Neighbor's Steps

Another from my long walk a couple of weeks ago. A Japanese maple in front of a neighbor’s house had just dropped its leaves. https://rickwomer.smugmug.com/2020/Long-Late-Fall-Walk/i-2R4tptW/A Comments appreciated! Rick -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net

Re: PESO Painted bird

I asked the local birding experts (which includes professionals). Painting birds is not used for (temporary) marking. A fresh painted pole or something similar must be the source. Toine On Sat, 5 Dec 2020 at 21:40, John wrote: > > If researchers needed a temporary way of marking adult birds,
