    Border Wall Construction Destroying Cottonwoods, 'Green Ribbon' Running Through the Desert

    By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, August 4, 2026

    #LochielAZ -- "Day 6 at #GrandmotherCamp, there was no border wall construction since the tree sit began last Wednesday in this rich landscape. The cottonwood trees are the nesting place of #MigratoryBirds, including the rare #YellowBilledCuckoo.

    " 'We've lost three grandmothers that took 250 years to grow. They were obliterated by the monstrous machinations in four hours,' Kate said on Monday from the tree sit in Lochiel, about 25 miles east of Nogales, southeast of Tucson.

    " 'But I just saw a Yellow-billed #Cuckoo, federally threatened crying over this beautiful meadow.'

    " 'This remaining Grandmother, that threatened bird -- we remain hopeful that our efforts here on the ground will be met with thoughtful reasonable conversation and a new direction for Lochiel community,' Kate said.

    " 'This remaining Grandmother represents hope and resistance.' "

  6. I’m in a different part of #Cymru near #Corwen. There are cuckoos calling constantly here. I have heard cuckoos before, but never so frequently as here.

  11. Some of the birds i could get pictures of, atleast those worth sharing.

    1. Yellow-billed Blue-Magpie (Urocissa flavirostris)
    2. Common Cuckoo (Cuculus canorus)
    3. Eurasian Jay (Garrulus glandarius)
    4. Gray Bushchat (Saxicola ferreus)

  31. Having red Nick Davies' book "Cuckoo: Cheating by Nature" [1], this paper is even more interesting:

    "Categorical identity signatures can reduce host error rates during brood parasitism", Dixit et al. 2026 journals.plos.org/plosbiology/

    "The African cuckoo finch Anomalospiza imberbis parasitizes several host species, each of which has evolved inter-individual variation in egg appearance (“egg signatures”) that facilitates recognition and rejection of mimetic cuckoo finch eggs. We demonstrate that egg signature traits in one host species, the zitting cisticola Cisticola juncidis, are categorically distributed. Field experiments reveal that zitting cisticolas make fewer Type II errors (accepting parasitic eggs) and Type I errors (rejecting their own eggs) than hosts exhibiting continuous variation. This challenges the long-standing expectation (from classification models, statistics, and signal detection theory) of a strict trade-off between these two error types."
