Detalles de la observación
Three birds seen extremely well in the Kyzyl-Kum desert. After spotting a bird perched on a roadside bush from the bus we pulled over and discovered that it was one of a pair building a nest in a low bush. Even more surprising was the appearance of a third bird which was also assisting in the nest construction. Throughout the hour we watched these birds, there was no hostile activity shown by any of the birds, suggesting that the usual pair formation may extend to group cooperative breeding in this species. Birds breeding in the Kyzyl-Kum desert belong to the nominate form.
