June 27, 2026 - Wetar Ground Dove (Pampusana hoedtii) These doves are found in lowland and hill forests, usually near water on the islands of Timor and Wetar. Flocks of up to 40 forage on the ground in some areas, feeding on fallen figs and fruits available from the ground. They may forage mostly in trees in other parts of their range. Though little is known about their breeding behavior, a male was observed carrying nesting material into the forest canopy above a stream in early May. They are classified as Endangered by the IUCN due to rapid declines to their population caused by habitat loss and trapping.

June 26, 2026 - Japanese Accentor (Prunella rubida) Found in Japan, as well as Sakhalin, and the Kuril Islands, these accentors live in forests, thickets, scrub, and parks. They eat invertebrates and seeds, foraging mostly on the ground under vegetation and sometimes in trees and bushes. Breeding from May to August, they raise two broods a year. Females breed with multiple males and two males sometimes help females with one brood. They build cup-shaped nests lined with hair, fur, and feathers in low bushes or small pines where females lay clutches of three or four eggs.
