Thousands of what!? Well, people, and birds. Many many birds. You may have seen welcome banners at Metroparks, or new stories about it, or just the acronym BWIAB.  The Biggest Week in American Birding has begun. Right here in Toledo, Northwest Ohio and several key Metroparks spots.  What the heck is it, and why they are all HERE, and why NOW!? So good to the have the Bird Nerd, which I say with great reverence, Nate Koszycki back on the podcast!

On our latest show: The warblers that use nest boxes; the Biggest Week in American Birding; highlighting Earth Day; and a groovy member of the cuckoo family.

Today is May 1, 2023 and it is the official start of Spring Migration here in Southern Ontario.  Birders from far and wide, some doing their own Big Years, are beginning their own migration to Canada's spring birding hotspot, Point Pelee National Park to welcome the songbirds home.  Down in Ohio, many birders will be making their way to The Biggest Week in American Birding.  Sue and I had to cancel our last trip there, as the Covid Pandemic Lockdowns were just being felt in the spring of 2020.   Down in Texas, the “winged” migration begins a little earlier, and in fact, my guest today, Laura Keene, had just seen her first Golden-cheeked Warbler of the year just before we spoke in early April , a beautiful song bird that sadly will likely never make it's way up north.  Of course, who knows during migration season.  We just had White Wagtail here in Ontario, we can always hope. In 2016, inspired by a close friends battle with cancer, Laura began her own journey across North America, doing a photographic Big Year, recording a record breaking 763 species in the Continental US, and adding more birds in Hawaii to finished with 815 species, the vast majority of which she photographed, an achievement in itself.   Laura's story of doing a Big Year is as inspiring as it is exciting, and  listening to her I'm sure you might just want to rush out and do your own Big Year.  I'm certainly inspired to do anther one.  Maybe, it being May 1, perhaps a Big Migration Month.  Laura, even 6 years after her Big Year ,is still 4th all time for the Continental US and 7th, one behind Yve Morrel. But it's not where you are in the standings or how many birds you've seen, but as Laura has said, the places you've been and the birders you've met along the way that really adds meaning to the lists we make on our Big Year Journeys.   

On our latest show: How birds utilize “fright molt”; an Avian Audio Postcard from SW Florida; and big news about the Biggest Week (in American Birding).

"By the time a bar-tailed godwits dies, it would have flown to the moon and most of the way back," says ornithologist and author Scott Weidensaul.  A bar-tailed godwit flies 18,000 miles a year. By the time it dies, it will have flown closer to 500,000 miles. In this episode, Scott talks about the magnificent migrations of birds-- the songs they sing while in flight and how they undergo binge-eating before they take off on their epic journeys. Comparing a migratory bird to an elite athlete insults the bird, he says. Arctic terns, for instance, sometimes travels a staggering 57,000 miles a year, he says. Scott celebrates the natural world—particularly birds and bird migration—in his research, his writing and his public speaking. Weidensaul spearheads a number of major research projects focusing on bird migration. His latest book is “The World on the Wing: the global Odyssey of migratory birds.” He has written more than 30 books on natural history, including Living on the Wind: Across the Hemisphere with Migratory Birds, a Pulitzer Prize finalist; The Ghost with Trembling Wings, about the search for species that may or may not be extinct; Mountains of the Heart: A Natural History of the Appalachians; Of a Feather: A Brief History of American Birding; The First Frontier: The Forgotten History of Struggle, Savagery and Endurance in Early America; andthe Peterson Reference Guide to Owls. Listen to Weidensaul's latest interview on NPR's "Fresh Air." (And here is a previous "Fresh Air" appearance with Terry Gross.) Weidensaul lectures widely on wildlife and environmental topics, and is an active field researcher, specializing in the study of migration in owls, hummingbirds and passerines.  A native of the Appalachians of eastern Pennsylvania, he now lives in New Hampshire. Scott Weidensaul leads tours to such exotic destinations as Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands, Alaska, the Amazon and other exciting locales - check out the details here. Summary of the episode 3:00 Migrating after dark.  Look up at the night sky for “literally billions of birds aloft in the night sky.” 8:00 Yellow Sea’s mudflats.  In China.  How central it is in migration. 13:00 How shorebirds make epic migrations.  About the bar-tailed godwit that spends 11 days in continuous powered flight, crossing the widest part of the Pacific Ocean-- 11,000 kilometres in one great leap. 14:00 Hyperphagia.  Binge feeding.  What these birds do before migration? They fly to the moon and back.   16:00 How migration and breeding change the body organs of the birds.   17:00 Scott imitates the song of the arctic song of the redknot. 19:00 About arctic terns, about the size of a dove flies 47,000 miles a year.  Oh wait, it is 57,000 miles a year.   22:00 Scott reads a section from his book. 26:00 The specific things birds change about themselves.  They change speed, endurance, memory, blood chemistry, metabolism, and much more. “Comparing a bird to a human athelete insults the bird.” 27:30 A little semipalmated sandpiper, weighing 50 gms.  Take off from the Northeastern coast of North America and fly to the Northeastern coast of South America with no food, water or rest.  That’s like running 126 marathons continuously. 30:00 European swifts and how they sleep.  Uni-hemisphere sleeping.  They sleep with one part of their brain for a few seconds a day.  About owls. 32:00 Bar-headed geese and their one long nonstop flight.  Climbing from 3200-feet an hour to 7200-feet an hour.   38:00 Conservation efforts to help bird migration. 42:00 About Amur Falcons in Nagaland 44:00 About Snowy owls and owls in general.  Nest boxes in Israel. 50:00 Regional wintering areas. The connections between forests and the Swainson’s Thrush.   52:00 Migratory connectivity. 54:00 Final words.  Birds fan out from Alaska to cover three-quarters of the earth’s surface.

Jason Guerard is the Outreach Director for Black Swamp Bird Observatory and Events Coordinator for The Biggest Week in American Birding stops by to talk with Mardi Dickinson about exploring the woods on his family farm to his life in NW Ohio.

Birders have been portrayed onscreen for decades now, with mixed accuracy. While this has definitely changed for the better in recent years there's still room to grow and the web-series Birds of North America is pushing the public perception forward once again and it definitely deserves your attention. The series is produced by the media group Topic, it can be found on their website and on YouTube. It is hosted by Bronx-native and bird twitter stalwart Jason Ward and directed by filmmaker Rob Meyer, who wrote and directed A Birder’s Guide to Everything. They both join me to talk about this new venture and what it means for birders. Also, a great idea in Portland that we might have heard before and a little bit on the LIVE episode of the American Birding Podcast that we're hosting at the Biggest Week in American Birding. Thanks to Zeiss Sports Optics for their support of this episode!

BirdCallsRadio reports LIVE at the 4th Annual American Birding Expo 2018 that is hosted by Birdwatcher’s Digest, held at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks PA.

The American Birding Expo is returning to the Philadelphia area once more next month. Running from 21-23 September, it is billed as “the world of birding in one place” and with exhibitors from 6 continents that is a pretty fair description. Expo-runners, Bill Thompson III and Ben Lizdas join me to talk about the Expo and what birders can expect in the way of exhibitors, workshops and keynoters. In addition to running the Expo, Bill is the editor of BirdWatcher’s Digest, and Ben runs the new optics retailer Redstart Birding. They are also the co-hosts of the podcast “Out There With the Birds", and we cover it all from the Global Big Year Challenge (tm) to the joys of matching people with the perfect pair of binoculars.  Plus, the feral cat problem and a bright spot thanks to our friends at the American Bird Conservancy.  Thanks to episode sponsor, the Partnership for International Birding, combining 200 scheduled tours to destinations around the world with unmatched support for local bird conservation.

For decades, the ABA Big Year has been a man's game, but in the last few years that has changed, with more women than ever tackling the grueling endeavor in a number of creative and personally enriching ways. This year's Biggest Week in American Birding featured a panel discussion that included five women who have taken on Big Years: Laura Keene of Ohio, who did an ABA Big Year in 2016 which, along with three other birders, broke the previous record and set a new standard for a photographic Big Year, Lynn Barber of Alaska, who was the first woman to crack 700 species in a year, Laura Erickson of Minnesota, who did a Lower 48 Conservation Big Year in 2013, Nancy McAllister from Maryland who did a "Mom’s Big Year" in 2016, and, of course, Yve Morrell of Florida, she of the most recent Big Year in 2017. Thanks to Kim Kaufman of The Biggest Week in American Birding for allowing us to produce this panel as a podcast, and thanks to our episode sponsor, the Hawai'i Festival of Birds held this September on the big island.  You can help us out by participating on our listener demographic survey here.

Every May, the Black Swamp Bird Observatory in northwestern Ohio puts together an amazing birding festival right when warblers are everywhere. Laura attended this year.

BirdCallsRadio reports LIVE from the Biggest week in American Birding 2018 on a keynote panel about five Women Birders Big Year that include; Lynn Barber, Laura Erickson, Laura Keene, Nancy McAllister and Yve Morrell.  

The boys have a chinwag while walking the aisles of the 2017 American Birding Expo, near Philadelphia, PA. They stop to speak with friends from Chile, Australia, Uganda, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania about a variety of birding-related topics, including birding cameras, Rapa Nui, birds and wine, gorillas, shoe-billed storks, kangaroos, and new birders. They also discuss the Walking Dead fan event going on next door to the Expo. The episode ends with them heading over to find some zombies. We don't know if they ever came back.

Later this month, birders and tour operators from across the globe will converge on Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for the 3rd American Birding Expo. This "World of Birding in One Place" is the brainchild of Bill Thompson III, editor of Birdwatcher's Digest, author, podcaster, and pied piper of the North American birding community. Bill joins host Nate Swick to talk about the upcoming expo, the bird festival landscape in North America, and what birders attending the event can expect, up to and including zombies (not kidding). Plus, Nate talks birding big storms and the hurricane paradox, and Birding editor Ted Floyd shares a commentary about the magic of birding in the mundaneness of normal life. Resources referenced in this episode include Houston Audubon and Ted Floyd's essay on The ABA Blog.

Bob Tarte and Book Character Bill Holm discuss their plans to attend The Biggest Week in American Birding for the third year in a row and ‘borrow’ the Biggest Week title for their own series of podcasts. Bob shocks Bill by boldly coming out as a birder. Then things get fast and furious as the pair tries to decide how best to present their trip to Magee Marsh this time around without repeating the same tired podcast they’ve done the last two years. Bob and Bill also prepare for an author-and-book-character talk at an Ann Arbor-area library and predict that it will turn into the usual disaster. Questions or Comments?

The two biggest losers in birding, Bob Tarte and Bill Holm, visit Magee Marsh in Ohio for the huge spring migration event known as "The Biggest Week in American Birding." Listen and marvel over the fact that despite seeing more good birds in a few hours than they usually see in 18 months, the pair still find something to complain about. Questions or Comments?
