The virtual machine that MediaWiki-Vagrant creates makes it easy to learn about, modify, and improve MediaWiki's code: useful debugging information is displayed by default, and various developer tools are set up specifically for inspecting and interacting with MediaWiki code, including a powerful debugger and an interactive interpreter.īest of all, because the configuration is automated and contained in a virtual environment, mistakes are easy to undo.
Since the configuration is geared towards easy development rather than security, MediaWiki-Vagrant is not recommended for publicly accessible wikis. It consists of a set of configuration scripts for Vagrant and VirtualBox that automate the creation of a virtual machine that runs MediaWiki.

Please share with us and visit the Kellogg Bird Sanctuary! Who knows what the next vagrant bird will be!Įlizeth Cinto Mejía is a Ph.D. It is always fun to see new species! Have you ever seen a vagrant bird? Would you like to learn more? Consider being part of the online Out of Bounds Birds: Migration and Vagrancy program that starts on January 25th. Other species might be expanding or changing their breeding ranges possibly due to climate change or get pushed to a different area due to storms.īut what is so exciting about vagrant birds? Well, for me, the excitement can feel like seeing a brown bear in Michigan. Some, especially long-distance migrants, might get disoriented, like if they had a broken compass. While researchers still don’t have a clear answer and the causes for vagrancy might be different among species, there are a few causes that can make birds fly outside their range. Both years, and although being on opposite sides of the country, they found their way back to San Jose *. In 1964 a few migratory sparrows that breed in Northwestern Canada and winter in the San Jose area (CA) were displaced to Baton Rouge (LA) and to Laurel (MD) the following year. It is incredible how every year, millions of birds find their way back to their nesting and wintering sites. For the Aztecs, the feathers from spoonbills were used to decorate objects, headdresses and shields like the one in the Museum of Ethnology in Vienna. It is amazing to think that a bird that lives mostly in Latin America and Southeastern US, and such an important species for pre-Columbian cultures has been seen in Michigan. Roseate Spoonbill feathers decorate this Aztec shield I still remember my first vagrant bird, it was a Blackpoll warbler (Spanish name: Reinita estriada), a common species in Michigan during migration, but a bit crazy to see in Idaho where we banded it at the Intermountain Bird Observatory.
#Vagrant example movie
If you haven’t seen the movie The Big Year I suggest you watch it. For some people, it is also a way to increase the number of bird species they have seen that year.
Because it is a species that we wouldn’t expect in Michigan very often, birders in the area become eager to see it. If someone spots one far from its typical migration route, let’s say in Michigan, this Western Tanager becomes a vagrant in Michigan. For example, a bird like the Western Tanager (Spanish name: Piranga carirroja), that breeds in Western Canada and Northern US and spends the winters in Mexico or central America (see map from ). But what is a vagrant bird? A vagrant bird is a species that is currently outside their wintering and breeding area. Have you ever seen a group of people with binoculars looking very excited and trying to find something? It is possible they are looking for a vagrant bird.
