Many of us have been there. You find a nest, you look inside, and there huddled amid the grasses, vines and twigs are small nearly naked nestlings. Maybe the nest isn't familiar, or soon as you realize it is occupied you get out as fast as you can so as to not disturb.. but later when reviewing some photographs you begin to wonder who is was in the nest? Or maybe you are a wildlife rehabilitator, and someone calls your team with a baby bird, separated from their kin and they aren't sure what to do next? It can be really hard to identify a baby bird, and that can be problematic in trying to identify the exact care needs the bird requires to flourish. Some birds may only feed their nestlings seeds, where as others require insects. Identification is key to the survival of many of the species of birds found across North America/Turtle Island every year. There are few resources and fewer accessible texts outside of academia to turn to, but with Linda Tuttle-Adam's new book “Baby Bird Identification - A North American Guide” things just got easier. This weeks show Linda and I spoke about her motivations for the book, some nestling identification clues to get started with, and some general nestling ecology. She reminded me a couple of times of the role of wildlife rehabilitators as agents of conservation, doing the work that may allow an individual member of a potentially threatened species to reach independence and, hopefully, to reproduce. Thanks again, Linda!

This week, The Backyard Naturalists welcome Tony Lombardino back to the show for a conversation around the topic of bird migration. If you'll remember, Debbie and Laurie hosted Tony earlier this year for an installment on Bird Identification.     Tony kicks off the episode explaining the ultimate and evolutionary reason why birds migrate. He discusses the ability birds possess to allow them to return to the same nesting location each year, where various species migrate to and from and the process around the preparation of migrating       Tony has led bird walks for the Lab of Ornithology at Cornell University and hosts our local bird walks on the second Saturday of the month at Col. Francis Beatty Park in Matthews.       Connect with the Backyard Naturalists on the Web, Facebook and Instagram.       Please visit and support our presenting sponsor, Backyard Birds at http://www.thebirdfoodstore.com.

Bird watchers and lovers of any level are in for a treat this week as Debbie and Laurie welcome bird expert Tony Lombardino to the show. Tony has a PhD in Neuroscience and studied how the brains of birds allowed them to sing and produce their songs in adulthood. He researched and studied songbird neurobiology for twelve years and has taught high school and college courses in biology and psychology. Tony has led bird walks for the Lab of Ornithology at Cornell University and hosts our local bird walks on the second Saturday of the month at Col. Francis Beatty Park in Matthews. During the conversation, Tony talks about the book, Field Guide for the Birds of North America by Jon L. Dunn and Jonathan Alderfer. Also discussed is the All about Birds app from The Cornell Lab.

This episode is a collection of bird identification tips shared by my guests over the course of the first 8 episodes along with a few tips from myself. For birders looking to pick up their first field guide, I've included a comparison between the West Coast versions of the National Geographic and Sibley field guides. The new content was recorded at a few different locations and if you listen closely, you'll hear some Grey Gnatcatchers, European Starlings and Red-winged Blackbirds.

Whether you are testing the Merlin Sound ID app or have mastered the app, got a new recorded, shotgun mic for your phone and have annoyed all your family asking them to be quiet while you record... you might have some burning questions. Like, is sound ID enough to report a bird? Can I get better at recording? What do I do if Merlin gets a bird wrong? In this Minisode, we explore these scenarios and more!Please remember we would love to hear from you, let us know what you think about the podcast here or which topics you will love -> podcast@birdscanada.orgListen to the full episode here: Drew Weber coordinates the Merlin project at the Cornell Lab, as well as some web development for eBird and Macaulay Library. He enjoys expanding Merlin Bird ID to include new regions and new features to help users identify birds, whether it's their first bird or their life list is over 5,000. He has been birding since he was a kid and loves anything with birding and technology, he combines these two things every day. @drewweber on Twitter.Download Merlin Bird ID App here - > https://merlin.allaboutbirds.org/download/Learn all about AI-powered Sound ID here Learn how to record and submit your bird recordings to the Macaulay Library.Smartphone recording tips. 

We welcome Dr. Katie Sieving who is an expert in avian ecology and behavior and holds a PhD in Ecology, Ethology, & Evolution.  In this episode, Dr. Sieving discusses: how to identify birds, methods that can attract birds to your garden, why birds are important for gardens, and how to deter birds from feeding on crops.  Depending on where you live, you will encounter different birds in your garden. To become better at identifying them, find a safe spot to visit on a repeated basis, so you can observe birds, take notes on their behaviors and other characteristics. Over time, you’ll learn about how they react to their environments, what’s important to them, what they’re afraid of and what they love to eat.  To attract birds to your garden, it’s important to have cover to shade smaller birds from larger predators and to have diversity in your plants to satisfy the different functions the birds are looking for. Among the many benefits of having birds in your garden, pest management is one of the best, since they feed on many harmful crop pests. Another important role birds have is that they serve as indicators of a healthy environment. Organic producers know that the presence of birds means that there is biodiversity on the farm. This is because biodiversity is not as noticeable on farms where there has been high pesticide use. Although having birds in your garden can be beneficial, for people who grow certain fruits and vegetables, they can be a nuisance. Dr. Sieving explains some of the strategies for deterring birds from foraging such as using sounds or netting. For more information on Dr. Sieving, visit her website on UF/IFAS. Learn more about her research on using sunflowers to attract birds and research on farmers’ opinions about bird conservation and pest management on organic and conventional north Florida farms. To learn more about identifying birds, check out UF/IFAS bird and farm research leaflets or visit the Alachua Audubon Society website. Other great resources include the Audubon Birds App, National Audubon Society Field Guides and the eBook “What the Robin Knows” by Job Young.  Support the show (https://foginfo.org/donate/)

Dr. Krishna MB is an ecologist and ornithologist from Bangalore who has been interested in bird and habitat conservation and improvement. A legend in the Bangalore birding community, he has studied zoology and pursued his research on bird ecology. Krishna is a regular fixture at birding walks at the Lalbagh Botanical Garden and is a wealth of knowledge on ecology and bird identification. He has advised many corporate and individuals on modifying landscape garden plans to make them more urban-wildlife friendly. It is in this capacity that he has advised SAP Labs and Robert Bosch on making their campus gardens more functional. He has also advised other corporates like the Taj West End, Trans Indus, Fanuc India, Benson Company, TVS Motors and others, and the Karnataka State Forest Department on issues related to birds, bird habits and landscaping. He has helped a lot of students to get into ecology as a profession and amateur birders to get started with their interest in birds. He also is the founder of BngBirds, one of the oldest online discussion forums about wildlife and ecology in India. This episode was produced by Ulhas Anand, edited by Tamanna Atreya and anchored by Shoba Narayan.
