    Battling Birds: Panama Edition avatar

    I'm really excited to be watching this feeder with you for a variety of reasons. First, it provides a great contrast to the snow-covered feeder outside my window [in New York] where a different set of birds is busy fighting over who gets to feed when. Second, few people have studied aggression at feeders in the tropics. I'm eager to see what translates across study sites.

    About Battling Birds: Panama Edition

    It's long been known that many bird species interact and share space at bird feeders, but there are still many questions to answer about how species, especially understudied species in the tropics, forage together. In this new iteration of the Bird Cams Lab investigation Battling Birds, we will take a look at footage from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's Panama Fruit Feeder Cam. We’ll record when individuals from different species interact in social interactions and use the "winners" and "losers" of these interactions to rank the species in a social pecking order or "dominance hierarchy."
