Well, here we are with another report directly from the field as I do a blog post with nothing but my iPhone and my spotting scope. Every autumn when I’m fortunate enough to have fieldwork, I can’t believe how lucky I am to have this landscape as an office and that my duty is [...] 
I’m still doing some of my bird surveys. And up until this week I was having a cheery time in the field, but now it’s so incredibly silent. I can’t believe this is the same spot that was chock full of bobolinks not so long ago. It’s so strange to suddenly have a spot [...] 
Immature bald eagle causes some serious shenanigans at Santa Barbara Zoo. On a side note, Karen pointed me towards another wild eagle that got flirty with a captive eagle at the Orange County Zoo. Guys who make bird repellents say they can cut down on bird deaths. Both Flock Buster (here’s the ingredients) and Bird [...] 
Interesting…do satellite transmitters harm birds? Bald eagle rehabbed by The Raptor Center was banded and the band was recovered, giving a clue as to how birds fare post wildlife rehab. Bald eagle that was injured and is now used for public programs flies into a window at a football stadium causing public outcry from animal [...]
What’s everybody talking about this week? Birds with Arms! Gyrfalcons are secret seabirds? Emperor penguin shows up in New Zealand. And here’s a link to what Non Birding Bill mentioned: penguins nesting on landmines! Bald eagles defend nest outside of an Alaskan post office.

Mallard hen lays her eggs outside of a Chik-Fil-A. Crazy duck or insanely clever camo? In other waterfowl nesting news, a deer protects a female Canada goose incubating [...] 
[Note from NBB: I've fixed the reverb problem and reuploaded the audio file. Thanks for bearing with us while we figure out the technical end of things.] The latest Birdchick Podcast is up. Next one should be up on Monday. Here are links to some of the stories discussed: Starving eagles in Vancouver Island. [...] 
Man, that is a bleak landscape. I went out the other day with Non Birding Bill to look for golden eagles. I know, NBB going birding? What?? Well, we’ve both been busy doing shows, he went to Las Vegas for the Consumer Electronics Show and then I went to Atlanta for AmericasMart We’re basically [...] Tuesday, January 18th at 4:oo pm, the National Eagle Center and Audubon Minnesota will release a golden eagle with a satellite-linked tracking device. The release will take place outside Wabasha, MN (along Wabasha County highway 32), near where the bird was captured. This release is part of an on-going project investigating golden eagles that winter [...] |
