Rare Bird Spotted In Europe

Your Bird Feeder

There is a rare opportunity to see a yellow-bellied flycatcher in Great Britain. Check it out if you are in the area.

Even for a birdwatcher, a trudge across four precarious miles of shifting sand dunes and shingle lashed by hail storms and gale force winds shows unusual commitment.

But when the object of your interest has gone 3,000 thousand miles out of its way to be there, it seems a small sacrifice to make.

Good info for setting up your bird feeder.

As winter approaches, many birds change some of their eating habits. Birds that usually eat insects may start to eat berries to supplement their diets. Due to their high metabolic rate, it is necessary for them to take in high calorie foods. They will start to look for reliable sources of food for wintertime survival.

Woodpecker Of Dreams-Movie Review

Your Bird Feeder

Interesting movie review.

The ivory-billed woodpecker was thought to be extinct since the 1920s, so when sightings of the bird were reported in eastern Arkansas in 2004 and verified by the ornithology lab at Cornell University, environmentalists responded with something approaching ecstasy.

Two Hummingbirds Who Don't Like To Share

Your Bird Feeder

Nice video of hummingbirds chasing each other at the feeder. Listen carefully and you can hear the sound of their wings as they nosedive into each other.

Whereas there is certainly enough room and nectar for more than one bird at the feeder, they usually don't let each other share at the same time. Fun to watch them psyche each other out.
