Rare 'itinerant breeding' behavior revealed in California bird

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/10/191015075314.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+sciencedaily%2Fplants_animals%2Fbirds+%28Birds+News+--+ScienceDaily%29

Abstract: GPS tracking and population genomics suggest itinerant breeding across drastically different habitats in the Phainopepla

https://academic.oup.com/auk/advance-article-abstract/doi/10.1093/auk/ukz058/5579363?redirectedFrom=fulltext


GPS data suggests that Phainopeplas breed in two different locations each year. They would be only the third bird species known to do so. Credit: Daniel Baldassarre
