WhatEurasian Tree Sparrow (Passer montanus)ObserverkaupunkilinnutDescriptionTree sparrows visiting blue tit nest box. They occasionally do that in certain "atmosphere" but haven't so far taken over this nest box. It's (possibly) 27mm hole with 30/32mm metal plate and they can carve the wood enough to fit in, they did it nearby few years ago where blue tit nesting had already failed first summer (unhatched eggs in nest). They have generally conquered all nest boxes in the island, but I've recently been able to provide several for house sparrows and two for blue tits. |

I do realize this is a Hackberry butterfly, but all this competition was over Pin Oak sap. In their defense, the Pin Oak tree is about 8ft away from the Hackberry tree. |
Question Mark (Polygonia interrogationis) |
Photos / SoundsWhatQuestion Mark (Polygonia interrogationis)ObserverpodzDescriptionFor this and associated observations, it appeared that numerous (I counted 8) Hackberry Emperors were trying to enjoy their day sucking on the nutrition from a recently cut branch nub. The Polygonia sp. had different ideas as I witnessed it repeatedly "divebombing" the Emperors in an attempt to scatter them away from the sap. In some pictures (in either this or one of the associated observations) you can clearly see a big green June Bug laying atop the branch nub taking advantage and enjoying the meal while the Lepids fight over it. Nature is fun. Even PG-rated nature. XD |

Recording has presumably hybrid singing in the beginning, then tree sparrow voices while hybrid was active at the nest box. |

I've changed all the interaction field names from "Interaction: " to "Interaction->" to stop them messing with the photo tag processing on photo import. When adding photos already tagged with fields to the "Add an observation" page, it was only grabbing the field name text after the colon and so not working properly.
Everything works now that the colon is gone, so long as you use a recognised taxon name. For example, if I tag a photo on my computer with "Interaction->Visited flower of=Rosmarinus officinalis" and upload it, it will get this field added with the taxon Rosmarinus officinalis.
That can save a lot of time if you''re maintaining your own photo library in your computer and tagging lots of photos there and uploading them all at once.
