Greylag geese are among the oldest domesticated birds—humans have been sharing fields and skies with them for thousands of years. Ancient companions in flight!

Matej Repel, the director of Avescentrum Senne, enjoys the sound of nearby birds as he sits inside a huge birdsong amplifier that was recently installed for visitors, on April 24, 2025, near Michalovce, Slovakia.

Jumpluff is a round, blue plant Pokémon with red, pupilless, beady eyes, two small, round feet, and a tail. These puffs produce cotton spores that Jumpluff can use to float in the air, and it can control its flight even in a hurricane.

Jumpluff drifts on seasonal winds and can use its spores to masterfully maneuver itself around the globe. It will spread cotton spores as it floats around to create offspring; inhaling these spores may cause coughs and itchiness. It descends if it encounters cold air currents while it is floating. Though it spends a good amount of time in the air, it is commonly sighted above open temperate grasslands. Once Jumpluff runs out of its cotton spores, its journey — and its life — reaches its end.

How many waterbirds do you see in this pattern? One is a migratory raptor! 

Every January bird lovers and scientists join the Asian Waterbird Census or AWC. They count waterbirds, or birds “ecologically dependent on wetlands” (Wetlands Int. 2018). Wetlands include coasts, mangroves areas, rivers, lakes, marshes and other similar areas.

Join the count! Recommended dates for counting are January 6 to 21. Forms, guides, and more information can be found at the South Asia Wetlands International website at: bit.ly/awc2024

Or contact your local biologist or bird-lover at Wetlands International Philippines, Haribon Foundation, Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), or local environment group.
