Cormorants nest on low cliffs around the coasts, or in colonies in trees on lakes and flooded gravel pits. Cormorants can often be spotted perched on a rock or bank with their wings held out. In this stance, they are able to dry their feathers off which are not waterproof.

These invasive birds are protected by an odd bit of government red tape. Currently there is no open hunting season in BC for the Eurasian collared-dove because it's a species protected under the Federal Migratory Birds Convention Act.

BRITISH ROOKS Corvus frugilegus roost at their rookeries in spring and summer, but amalgamate with birds from other colonies in the area to form larger roosting flocks in autumn and winter. ... Abandonment of the rookery area in winter is said to occur also in some Scottish Highland valleys (Munro 1975).

The baby robins will never return to this nest! Nests for most birds are NOT houses at all--they're just baby cradles. Now the babies will start sleeping in sheltered tree branches, as adult robins do.

Tend to be most active at night when they feed on a wide variety of invertebrates. During winter they hibernate under rocks, in compost heaps, or underwater buried in mud and vegetation. Deposit 'rafts' of spawn, often containing up to 2000 eggs.

Nest sites are in cavities in trees, cliffs and banks with breeding from September to February. After leaving the nest chicks are fed by both parents for 7–10 days before they start to catch food for themselves. Kingfishers appear to have high fidelity to breeding sites.

The 36 species of cormorants (also known as shags) and four of anhingas (also known as darters or snakebirds) make up the family Phalacrocoracidae. They are related to pelicans, frigatebirds, gannets, and tropicbirds, which are also waterbirds in the order Pelecaniformes.

An “urban invader species,” these birds prefer residential areas and often nest near houses and other developed areas where food is easily available. ... Currently there is no open hunting season in BC for the Eurasian collared-dove because it's a species protected under the Federal Migratory Birds Convention Act.

At night pigeons, like most other birds, head for shelter. Sometimes they settle for trees, but pigeons prefer a little more shelter than most birds. If they can find it, they like abandoned houses, the underside of bridges, recesses in a cliff side, etc.

The nest is a somewhat unimpressive and sparse platform of twigs and leaves, and sited in a tree on suitable branches. They have a preference for evergreen trees, and species such as Leylandi are ideal and hence why Collared Doves often nest in urban gardens.

Anglers and congressmen are now renewing calls for lethal force. Cormorants are large, glossy black birds. They're found all over North America and nest in the spring on remote islands in the Great Lakes.

They are solitary predators, preferring to hunt alone. However, they do often breed in groups called "rookeries", and during the night they will sleep with flocks of over 100 other herons. Great blue herons are also extremely territorial and will aggressively defend their nests.

Seabirds spend most of their lives at sea. For this reason they have developed a range of characteristics adapted to the marine environment. Seabirds have flexible webbed feet that enable them to swim at fast speeds. Due to the greater surface area of these webbed feet, they also serve as propellers when taking flight.

In late winter (and other times of year), the male will often “drum” on a tree to mark territory. Why are pileated woodpeckers so noticeable on a Rocky Mountain winter day? It's quite simple: they don't migrate. The species is highly territorial and a monogamous pair inhabits and defends a territory year round.

The Wood Pigeon is resident and mostly sedentary though in the autumn and winter they fly twice-daily between roosts and feeding areas. Scandinavian Wood Pigeons are migratory and many pass through Britain on their autumnal migration to France and Spain, some inevitably stay for the winter in Britain.

Living in a large group helps protect them from predators. They live up in the trees, so birds of prey (such as eagles) are their most significant threat. In addition, they are sometimes threatened by snakes, and even larger species of monkey.
