Western Scrub Jay Seen In Montana

Your Bird Feeder

It is always fun to spot a bird that is not usually seen in the area.

"But as he squinted through the glare of the window, he decided this wasn't the blue jay at all.

"The behavior wasn't right," Greaves says, and on closer inspection he was surprised to find his visitor was a western scrub jay."

Bird Silhouettes On Your Window After A Bird Hit

Your Bird Feeder

Have you ever had a bird imprint left on your window after a bird hit the window. I have had the perfect image of a bird just as described in this article. (Fortunately the bird flew away.)

"As bird feathers break down, they produce a fine powder that coats other feathers when birds preen.

This feather dust helps to waterproof the feathers. The dust is also what left that amazingly detailed imprint on the window glass. It's like a fingerprint."

National Aviary-New Show Takes Wings!

Your Bird Feeder

If you are in the Pittsburgh area-come visit the National Aviary and see the new addition and the new show.

 

Five hooded vultures flew out over a small group of people, their powerful wings creating a noticeable breeze. Four of them landed, pretty much in unison, on a carcass -- except for the renegade who landed on the knee of the guy sitting next to me.

Local Youth Group Hosts Fundraiser to Support Habitat Restoration on Middle Bass Island

Your Bird Feeder

What a great idea! This looks like a good cause. It's great to get young people involved in bird watching.

The idea behind a Big Sit is to stay in a 17-foot diameter circle and count all the species of birds you can identify from that spot during a continuous period.
