Abundant diversity, variation and interconnection are central to the teaching I’ve been fortunate to do in recent years. I’m happy to see the influx of folks here and hopeful for its potential as a space to share ideas.

They grow to 100-130ft tall, are an exclusive host to the near threatened Araucaria Tit-Spinetail (Leptasthenura setaria), and act as a facilitator species for diverse understory ecological communities when allowed to reach full height.
They’ve lost ~97% of their habitat to sprawl and agricultural.

Random note: my junior high school was named after R.C. Murphy, this very same ornithologist. A fine name for a school; Tuamotu Petrel is a much better name for this bird.

Having more bird names like Boblink, Dickcissel, and Bananaquit seems good and cool to me--Pipixcan Gull sounds perfect in this context

(2/2) I'm biased: my first real birding experience was watching BOGU's flying out from conifers, diving into a bright blue lake in northern Ontario, and carrying the fish back into the trees. It made me really want to learn about IDing birds and their distribution

As fun as saying 'Philly Gull' would be, I hope this one gets changed to Boreal Gull to note their breeding range and (unique for gull sp.) habit of nesting in trees. There's already the well-named Boreal Chickadee and Owl. Plus, a minor note: wouldn't need to change their banding code! (1/2)
