House Finches, Purple Finches, and Cassin's Finches are some of our favorite winter feeder visitors, but they can be tricky to tell apart. Learn what to look for and test your ID skills with a replayable quiz: academy.allaboutbirds.org/finches-with-r…
Lead ammunition breaks into tiny fragments that can poison Bald Eagles and other animals, including people. A new effort is tapping into the hunting community's strong history of conservation to encourage the adoption of safer copper ammunition. news.cornell.edu/stories/2023/1…
Our Bird of the Week lives along NW coasts of N America. Males, patterned in black, white & buff w/ touches of green on the head. Females, a dark-chocolate brown. In winter it gathers in large flocks, diving in unison to grab prey. Seen a Steller's Eider? allaboutbirds.org/guide/Stellers…
Practice makes Perfect! For people AND birds. In our Video of the Week young male Paradise Riflebirds perfect their dancing moves with each other in hopes of one day winning a picky female's attention with an elaborate courtship dance. youtu.be/N7AKJUfy5vM
Look for our Bird of the Week "kiting" above N American grasslands along the W Coast & in southern corners of TX and FL. From high in the air, this shimmering, white aerialist drops straight down with open talons to snatch prey. Seen a White-tailed Kite? allaboutbirds.org/guide/White-ta…
For Video of the Week, let's go to New Zealand & enjoy highlights from the 2022-23 Northern Royal Albatross Cam: the parents' impressive courtship, chick Manaaki's fluffy cuteness & eventual fledgling, plus how scientists monitor this endangered species: youtu.be/s8x3d9JVA7U
What's Project @Feederwatch? It's a fun, flexible, citizen science project where your observations become invaluable data that helps birds by providing scientists with information on the yearly movements of our feathered friends. Find out more and join us: feederwatch.org/about/project-…
The "From So Simple a Beginning" mural by @InkDwell studio is one of our favorite features at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. Did you know you can explore it online? Head to the link, zoom in, and click to learn more about any bird in the mural: hubs.la/Q01xwSWJ0
We're coming up on a prime bird-feeding time of year. Which foods will attract the birds in your region—and what kinds of feeders do they come to? Check out the Common Feeder Birds tool from @Feederwatch to get the inside scoop: feederwatch.org/learn/common-f…
Birding is a great way to spend an hour or a day. You can turn your daily walk into a daily bird walk with just our free Merlin Bird ID app and its Sound ID feature. If you want to go deeper, try these ideas. What's your favorite piece of birding advice? allaboutbirds.org/news/binocular…
Our Bird of the Wk lives along the W Coast of N America. It's distinguished from similar looking relatives by gray & tan wingtips, but its tendency to mingle with close cousins produces hybrids that make ID challenging. Seen a Glaucous-winged Gull lately? allaboutbirds.org/guide/Glaucous…
Eastern Screech-Owls disappear into the forest during the day—their camouflage keeping them hidden in plain sight. In our Video of the Week, the Cornell Lab's Gerrit Vyn goes on a search to find one, noting an Eastern Screech-Owl's roosting habits. youtube.com/watch?v=XuRlfe…
At this time of year you may see birds grabbing seeds and other morsels, and immediately flying away. Where are they going? And what are they doing—why not eat it on the spot? Find out in our Question of the Week: allaboutbirds.org/news/where-is-…
Today the American Ornithological Society @AmOrnith announced its intention to give new names to birds named after people. The Cornell Lab supports this decision. Read more about the renaming project, including plans for public engagement, from AOS: americanornithology.org/about/english-…

Our Bird of the Wk lives in shortgrass prairies & grassy habitats of central and W N.America. It's washed in hues of beige & is known as the "prairie ghost" for its ability to vanish into the landscape w/ a turn of its body. Seen a Mountain Plover lately? allaboutbirds.org/guide/Mountain…

Before I left Mississippi in May of this year, I saw evidence of Mourning Dove obstinacy. The Red-bellied almost exploded in frustration.

Hummingbirds (New World) and sunbirds (Old World) fill similar ecological niches with their small size and nectar-based diets, although completely unrelated and found on opposite sides of the globe. These two look especially alike! Purple-throated Carib & Copper-throated Sunbird

Following treatment we returned & saw Arthur perched on the platform, w/BR on Bradfield. We reversed order of operations, bringing them back up the lift in a carrier and placing them one by one beneath a towel in the nest to keep calm. A fresh chipmunk was waiting in the nest.
Nestlings were covered in the nest bowl w/towel to keep calm & removed one by one, examined briefly, then placed in a carrier. Expert work by Cornell Facilities crew got us up & down in a jiffy, then we transported them to the Janet L. Swanson Wildlife Hospital for treatment
Intervention went as well as could be hoped, with the nestlings hunkered down as we approached, and M1 sitting up on its "ankles" & spreading wings, even vocalizing with a faint red-tailed keee-errr as we got to the platform.
