Birds in summer

Ptarmigan leads her chicks under bushes and swampy forest conflagration, and gets into kochkarniki Mokhovikov, where there are blueberry and cloudberry. Broods of grouse walk the cutting areas, where the red ripe strawberry, pecking bilberry, blueberry, cloudberry. By berry lead their offspring and gluharki. Gluharyata now been able to fly well and often perch on tree branches. All the chicken at this time, as well as other birds - in waders, herons, ducks, geese - starts molting. In chicken, it is gradually, slowly and lasts long. Old grouse-cock begin to moult before teterok (since June). Molting bird loses a feather for a pen, which are frequently replaced by fresh ones. She continues to use its wings and flies in no way worse than before the molt. So is molting in the hen, raptors, songbirds and others. In waterfowl - geese, swans and ducks quickly fall out all the feathers, making them the ability to fly. They get into the thick bushes, hide in inaccessible swamps, in thickets of high reeds. There they sit all day and only deaf night and early morning go to feed. At the beginning of the second period of the summer some of the birds still busy finding the chicks from the second clutch. In some species of blackbirds flock to the spring broods are beginning to join the young second broods, although re-laying are far from each pair. They are known to have sparrows are likely to happen in quail. Larks sing sometimes in the middle of July, and it is a sign that they were again occupied nests. All wild pigeons (stock-dove, wood pigeon and turtle) have a second time. In stock-dove the second clutch is delayed even in August, and sometimes they happen, and the third clutch. Find a belated broods a snipe, not only in July, but even in August. Most birds breeding instincts die down until next spring. Observation. 1. Conduct observations of molting domestic waterfowl. Notice, when most dropping the steering and flight feathers geese and ducks. 2. Pay attention to the findings of these feathers in the woods and especially around the places where you usually keep the familiar birds. 3. Make sure the flying crows, jackdaws, rooks and magpies. How many primary feathers they lose once. 4. Observe the formation of swarms of starlings, titmice, finches, finches, etc. Mr. Make migrations and activities of flocks of tits. From observations of the composition and abundance of flocks set, in which month they are numerous. Set as what areas most frequented by birds and what can be explained by these visits.
