Change of routine summer birds

Drops in August, short-eared owl feathers. In late August, has not ended yet molt from buzzard, or a buzzard. Stretched and molt in September at a small trowel, common kestrels - Buffy the fillies, grasshoppers, field mice and voles, young gophers. Continues molt and songbirds. In the middle lane in some places can be found stocky bird - Bullfinch. It can be recognized by a very thick and strong beak. In the first half of summer when feeding chicks grosbeak catch different insects. But when the ripening fruits and seeds to feed them mostly. Strong beak allows grosbeak crack even the stones of cherries. Raids on orchards rates grosbeak devastating. Birds peck a lot of fruit and fruit pulp are not interested. They need only the seeds, pulp, they drop out. That is why the birds have time to spoil a very large number of fruit. In the fields and orchards of grosbeak suffers greatly underripe peas: they deftly enucleate of green pea pods. Hazel, together with the young hold only fir forests, especially where there are nearby moss bogs. There attracts them ripen cranberries. On berry and hold the black grouse, capercaillie and climb into aspen, which feed on, among other things, lethargic fields, then down, then climbing higher, then lining up in marching order. In the last third of the summer, starlings with juveniles gather in large flocks and fly through the pastures. Here, they revolve around cattle, chasing flies, which are always a lot about the herd. A curious phenomenon is the air game, observed in the autumn some birds. These exercises got stronger youth usually occur in the presence of elders. Wide circles flies flock of young cranes to a great height.
