Sweeeo chiffchaffs in Copenhagen, spring 2024
2024-05-18
The birds I admit that I haven't been cutting edge sharp on the finer details of tristis identification. Tristis, the Siberian subspecies of the Common Chiffchaff (Phylloscopus collybita) [gransanger]. The common chiffchaffs are indeed that in our region: common, whereas tristis is only visiting in few numbers, and mainly during the autumn migration. I've mostly hold in memory that tristis has a quite different, more chicken-like call, iiie, compared to the standard huit-call of the common birds. These two calls are distinctively different in the field, and in our region the main confusion regarding the birds saying huit refers to Willow Warbler [løvsanger], although willow tends to give it as two syllable call more like, huu-it. However, without an analysis of the sound, that can be difficult to perceive in the field. To the untrained ear, I'm sure many tiny calls from various song birds can sound like a tristis. More than focusing on the difference in calls, I've also noted, when studying the subject, that there exists a general warning-opinion about common birds being able to give calls similar to the ones given by tristis. I've come to interpret this as: "Be aware that the common birds can have many different calls, why it has to ... read more |

Maj måneds guldsmede Blev mest skabt i den fortsatte østenvind. Amager tog fortsat ikke rigtig for sig af retterne, men efter de første flagermus-vandnymfer den 4. maj, fandt jeg to mere dagen efter ved pumpehus-broen i syd, ved Hejresøen - som i gamle dage, da militæret holdt til på området, opfindsomt blev kaldt nato-søen; efter at dværghejren var på besøg for nogle år siden, er det svært ikke at kalde det nye navn retvisende. I starten af måneden kan man sige, at det måske var meget godt, at der ikke skete så meget angående guldsmedene, for jeg var fortsat optaget af at komme rundt og tjekke mine afvigende gransangere, som for nogles vedkommende fortsat var tilstede, en helt til den 14. Som skrevet andetsteds forblev de uopklarede, og man kan undre sig over, at ikke nogen i d ... read more |
Still mostly Mexico and Denmark
Did you know that...
The most numerous raptor migration in the world can be experienced in Cardel in the state of Veracruz, where, some years, more than 5 million birds represented by 20 species pass by during the autumn months. Turkey Vulture, Broad-winged and Swainson's Hawk being the most numerous, counting for about 95% of the total.

I handler min klode ihjel.
From the Heart
Her er jeg. Livskraftig stråleglans. Jeg kræver min plads og fylder den ud i al min magt og vælde. Jeg formår at skabe mig det rum, hvorfra jeg kan lyse på verden fra mit hjertets oprigtighed og godhed. Og der hvor det smerter i verden, må jeg formå at holde mit fokus for øje, og ikke bukke
