Lark Bunting
The lark bunting (''Calamospiza melanocorys'') is a medium-sized American sparrow native to central and western North America. It was designated the state bird of Colorado in 1931. Taxonomy The lark bunting was monotypic, the only member of the genus ''Calamospiza'', and is not closely related to any other genera. It was first described by J. K. Townsend in 1837, from a specimen collected on a trip he took with Thomas Nuttall, under the name ''Fringilla bicolor''. This is a preoccupied name, so Leonhard Hess Stejneger renamed the species in 1885 ''Calamospiza melanocorys''. By then, the lark bunting had already been given its own genus, the one it is still placed in, by Charles Lucien Bonaparte in 1838. Description Lark buntings are small songbirds, with a short, thick, bluish bill. There is a large patch of white on the wings and they have a relatively short tail with white tips at the end of the feathers. Breeding males have an all black body with a large white patch on the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Bunting (bird)
The buntings are a group of Old World passerine birds forming the genus ''Emberiza'', the only genus in the family Emberizidae. The family contains 45 species. They are seed-eating birds with stubby, conical bills. Taxonomy The family Emberizidae was formerly much larger and included the species now placed in the Passerellidae (New World sparrows) and Calcariidae (longspurs and snow buntings). Molecular phylogenetic studies found that the large family consisted of distinct clades that were better treated as separate families. The genus ''Emberiza'' is now the only genus placed in the family Emberizidae. The genus was introduced by the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus in 1758 in the tenth edition of his ''Systema Naturae''. The type species was subsequently designated as the yellowhammer (''Emberiza citrinella''). The genus name ''Emberiza'' is from Old German ''Embritz'', a bunting. The origin of the English "bunting" is unknown. A 2008 genetic study found that three emberizid ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Bunting (decoration)
A bunting is any festive decorations made of fabric, or of plastic, paper or cardboard in imitation of fabric. Typical forms of buntings are strings of colorful, monochrome, beige triangular flags and lengths of fabric in the colors of national flags gathered and draped into swags or pleated into fan shapes. History Bunting was originally a specific type of lightweight worsted wool fabric generically known as ''tammy'', manufactured from the turn of the 17th century, and used for making ribbons and flags, including signal flags for the Royal Navy. Amongst other properties that made the fabric suitable for ribbons and flags was its high glaze, achieved by a process including hot-pressing. The origin of the word is uncertain,Oxford English Dictionary on CD-ROM, Oxford University Press, 2002. but bunt means colourful in German. The term ''bunting'' is also used to refer to a collection of flags, and particularly those of a ship. The officer responsible for raising signals u ...

Bunting (animal Behavior)
Bunting is a form of animal behavior, often found in cats, in which the animal butts or rubs its head against other things, including people. Bunting as a behaviour can be viewed as a variation of scent rubbing. This is when an animal, typically a carnivore, will rub its back on a scent, such as that of prey, or on the urine of an animal of the same species. Evolutionarily speaking, scent rubbing is the oldest form of scent communication and bunting is a derivative of this behaviour. Rolling in the scent of another animal was an adaptation to camouflage the scent of a predator or outside male, in order to get closer to mates. Bunting is generally considered to be a form of territorial scent-marking behaviour, where the cat rubs the scent glands on its cheeks and forehead on the object being marked. After a display of aggression, a cat will begin bunting nearby objects as a form of territorial display toward a rival cat. Bunting and allorubbing (using touch to communicate closeness) a ...

Passerina
The genus ''Passerina'' is a group of birds in the cardinal family (Cardinalidae). Although not directly related to Bunting (bird), buntings in the family Emberizidae, they are sometimes known as the North American buntings (the North American Emberizidae are colloquially called "Old World sparrow, sparrows" although they are also not closely related to these birds). The males show vivid colors in the breeding season; the plumage of females and immature birds is duller. These birds go through two moult, molts in a year; the males are generally less colorful in winter. They have short tails and short slim legs. They have smaller bills than other Cardinalidae; they mainly eat seeds in winter and insects in summer. The blue grosbeak (''P. caerulea'') was once placed in the monotypic genus, ''Guiraca''. Taxonomy and list of species The genus ''Passerina'' was introduced by the French ornithologist Louis Jean Pierre Vieillot in 1816. The type species was designated in 1840 as the ...

Bunting (horse)
Bunting (1961 – mid-1980s) was a Swedish halfbreed grey horse made famous for his participation in the Olle Hellbom films by Astrid Lindgren's Pippi Longstocking. He played Pippi's horse Lilla gubben. Bunting was first called Illbatting and then Batting; he was owned by Rudolf Öberg, and had been a gift for him at his 60th birthday. When it was time to film the Pippi movies the film crew contacted him and used Bunting during filming. Bunting was completely white so the crew had to spray black dots on his skin. They also had to colour him to make him look more like the horse in the books. It was during filming that Inger Nilsson, the actress who played Pippi, chose the name of Lilla gubben. In the books her horse is only mentioned as "the horse". After the final film was completed Bunting returned to a riding school, and was later moved to a stable in Vallentuna Vallentuna is the seat of Vallentuna Municipality in Stockholm County, Sweden, with 33,219 inhabitants in 2018.

Bunt (baseball)
A bunt is a batting technique in baseball or fastpitch softballOfficial Baseball Rulesdefine a bunt as follows: "A BUNT is a batted ball not swung at, but intentionally met with the bat and tapped slowly within the infield." To bunt, the batter loosely holds the bat in front of home plate and intentionally taps the ball into play. A properly executed bunt will create weak contact with the ball and/or strategically direct it, forcing the infielders to make a difficult defensive play to record an out. Technique The strategy in bunting is to ground the ball into fair territory, as far from the fielders as possible but within the infield. This requires not only physical dexterity and concentration, but also an awareness of the fielders' positions in relation to the baserunner or baserunners, their likely reactions to the bunt, and knowledge of the pitcher's most likely pitches. The bunt is typically executed by the batter turning his body toward the pitcher and sliding one hand up ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Blue Bunting
The blue bunting (''Cyanocompsa parellina'') is a species of passerine in the family Cardinalidae, the cardinals or cardinal grosbeaks. It is found in Belize, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, and Nicaragua. Taxonomy and systematics French naturalist Charles Lucien Bonaparte described the blue bunting in 1850 as ''Passerina parellina'', and then ''Cyanoloxia parellina''. German ornithologist Jean Cabanis defined the genus ''Cyanocompsa'' in 1861, giving it its current binomial name. The blue bunting is the only member of its genus. It has four subspecies, the nominate ''Cyanocompsa parellina parellina'', ''C. p. beneplacita'', ''C. p. indigotica'', and ''C. p. lucida''. The last is sometimes included in ''C. p. beneplacita''.Brewer, D. (2020). Blue Bunting (''Cyanocompsa parellina''), version 1.0. In Birds of the World (J. del Hoyo, A. Elliott, J. Sargatal, D. A.

Plectrophenax
''Plectrophenax'' is a small genus of passerine birds of the longspur family Calcariidae. Taxonomy The genus ''Plectrophenax'' was introduced in 1882 by the Norwegian born zoologist Leonhard Stejneger with the snow bunting as the type species. The name combines the Ancient Greek ''plēktron'' meaning "cock’s spur" with ''phenax'' meaning "imposter". Species The genus contains two species, which may be conspecific. They are high Arctic breeding seed-eating bird Birds are a group of warm-blooded vertebrates constituting the class Aves (), characterised by feathers, toothless beaked jaws, the laying of hard-shelled eggs, a high metabolic rate, a four-chambered heart, and a strong yet lightweig ...s with stubby, conical bills, and much white in the plumage, especially in adult males.

Babygrow
A babygrow, babygro, sleepsuit, or sleep suit in British English is a one-piece item of baby clothing with long sleeves and legs used for sleep and everyday wear. They are typically made from cotton and closed with snaps, although they may also be made from fleece or closed with zips. The feet are often enclosed, but they may be footless. They are distinguished from bodysuits by having legs and long sleeves. This terminology is common in the United Kingdom, where the trademark is not registered. In the United States, where the trademark is registered, the name is uncommon as other manufacturers of the item use different terms. Synonyms In American English, different terms are more usual. The most common are sleeper or sleep and play. If made of fleece, they are considered blanket sleepers. They may also be referred to in American English simply as pajamas or one-pieces, or if they have feet as footie pajamas or footed one-pieces. If closed with a zipper, they may be referred ...
