They talk about shorebird swallows that nest near reservoirs in sandy shores, and show sparrows (who live either in field/farm areas or from urban areas) in mountain birch forests (sorry, my inner amateur ornithologist is indignant)

@RimmaVam: maybe there's a problem with the translation. Just in case, here is a fragment from the book. Although I don't know how much the author/translators went into details.:
– We were told that you are trying to save some kind of bird... - Yes, a swallow. A subspecies of the northwestern brown swallow. Its Latin name is too long, I won't bother you. Every spring, they return from the south, following an ancient, unyielding instinct. They nest only here; but as the woodlands shrink every year, the birds are deprived of trees on which to build a nest.
“We heard that you are trying to save a type of bird.” “Yes, a swallow. It’s a subspecies of the northwestern brown swallow. The Latin name is very long, so I won’t bore you with it. Every spring, they follow ancient, established migratory paths to return from the south. They nest only here, but as the forest disappears year after year, they can no longer find the trees in which to build their nests.”
But in the search engine, the query "northwestern brown swallow" gave me only mentions of the "Three-body Problem", some academic articles about it (for example, about anthropocentric narcissism and eco-gothic by Liu Qixin :D).
