Great Posts at Biological Ramblings

Nick over at Biological Ramblings has put together two great posts that deserve a visit.  In them, he looks at the history of bird species discovery and then figures out what common threads bind together the birds discovered in more recent times.  Both posts are fascinating reads with lots of interesting data presented.

Corey is a New Yorker who lived most of his life in upstate New York but has lived in Queens since 2008. He's only been birding since 2005 but has garnered a respectable life list by birding whenever he wasn't working as a union representative or spending time with his family. He lives in Forest Hills with Daisy, their son, Desmond Shearwater, and their indoor cat, B.B. His bird photographs have appeared on the Today Show, in Birding, Living Bird Magazine, Bird Watcher's Digest, and many other fine publications. He is also the author of the American Birding Association Field Guide to the Birds of New York.

    I don’t know, I think the analysis is quite disappointing. I really would have expected a more detailed prognosis:

    “My analyses have revealed that a visit to the western part of Pulau Ju (insert exact coordinates) on February 12th 2012 will lead to the observation of an as yet undescribed species of Thrush (Turdus), with a small family group perched in the lower branches of the tree to the immediate west of the waterfall. The most fitting scientific name for this new species would be Turdus belltowerbirderi.”

    Science ain’t what it used to be…
