Podcasts about cormorants

It's the 200th episode! A huge thanks to all of you listeners both new and old that have been listening to the show. This week Brad shares about his time photographing surfing ducks, and his time with friendly Cormorants. I share about my first time swimming with sharks in the Bahamas and then we wrap up the show talking about how our photography and approach to it has changed since 2019 when the first episode of this podcast came out!

Be cruelly denied the opportunity to make a dick joke, because we are back for Wie is de Mol 2025! Over these ten weeks, the world's least necessary commentators - Michael, Logan & Bindles - will be recapping and breaking down everything that happens on the show's visit to Cambodia in our twenty third Mole season, beginning with the first episode and surprise selection of the Mole! In this episode - Bindles forgets he requested an intro, we help Fuzzy get an inevitable bingo square, Logan refuses to finish an anecdote, Michael has been being followed by the podcast, Bindles holds an iconic trophy, Logan gets a new segment, AI has its use, a choice is offered, Michael reveals a lie, we make probably our most important announcement ever, Logan discovers the new intro, we try and make a new Best Friend (there's room for two, Gilles!), the fan reactions do a full 180, Bindles loves maps, there's a genuinely interesting fact about apple crates, we reveal how Jeroen got on Renaissance, there's finally a bit of dissent, Michael reveals the logic behind the Suspect List question, Logan gives us some Cambodian knowledge, one of our favourites finally reappears, there's a perfectly understated reaction to Briefing of the Mole appearing in WIDM, we hesitantly lock-in our First Suspicions, Logan gets a personal challenge, we try and predict who's going home first and there's some praise for the lack of a convoluted non-elimination episode (so far). You can join in with our First Suspicions game by filling in the form here and play along with this week's Bother's Bar Suspect List here. We will see you next week for Episode 2! Please note: This episode is intended on being spoiler-free, but references to any season we have already covered (WIDM 10-11, 14, 16-24 and Renaissance; België 4-12) may be made.

I spotted vultures, doves, egrets, and herons. I saw Mallards, Gadwalls, Wigeons, Lesser Scaups, Buffleheads, Pied-billed Grebes, Goldeneyes, and Cormorants. All these birds I had seen before, just never took the time or binoculars to really identify them. The unknown became known through taking time to identify.

In this episode Doug talks about staying active in hunting, fishing, and golf while getting older. What are some of the things you can do to enjoy the outdoors as you get older? Next time you go on a hike or a trail walk try not to get lost. Doug and callers suggest the one thing you might want to bring with you. Make sure you listen to show to get this tip. Remember catching birds with a box and a slice of bread. Reminiscing of the youthful days, setting traps as kids. Could this be the prerequisite to hunting? If you could fish with just one lure in brackish water what would it be? What it the one bait Doug would use for catching speckled trout? Doug expresses how we should deal with grief after the lost of a friend. Be sure to listen in order to find out the ansewer to all these questions and more.

As a special treat we've rounded up some of your most curious bird related questions and answered them in this episode (or tried to!). Why do some birds have red eyes? Can owls hybridize? Can birds smell? And of course, we'll try to solve the hotdog mystery.  Help us keep doing what we do best by donating today. Or another great way to help...

In this episode of The Doug Pike show Doug talks about Redfish, trout, and flounder fish. Doug says these fish need our attention and he explains why. Do you want to know where to catch some good bass fish? FoPro a long time listner tells Doug his secret spot. If you could do without one fish (Red Trout, or Flounder) which one could you do without? Doug and some callers give the audience some great fishing tips. What going on with the coyotes all over Texas? Are they taking over? Doug talks about some of the invasive plants, bugs, fish, and animals that are here in Texas. Can you guess the one bird Doug would like to do away with? Trust me Doug has a great reason for his choice. Hunting, Golf and a Shrimp update.

In this episode—which is Number 99—we dive into the fascinating world of cormorants and shags, members of the avian family Phalacrocoracidae. These sleek, hook-billed birds are known for their distinctive silhouettes, often seen drying their wings on seaside cliffs or wetland trees. Cormorants and shags have a long history of varied human interactions, from being vilified and hunted to being revered and even trained to catch fish.These birds are exceptional divers, utilizing their streamlined bodies and webbed feet to hunt underwater. Their feathers are less waterproof than those of other aquatic birds, which aids in diving but necessitates their iconic wing-drying behavior. Cormorants can be found across the world, thriving in diverse habitats from coastal cliffs to freshwater lakes.They face significant conservation challenges. Human persecution and disturbances, habitat destruction, and climate change threaten several species, some of which are critically endangered.Links of InterestBrandt's Cormorants [VIDEO]~~ Leave me a review using Podchaser ~~Link to this episode on the Science of Birds website Support the Show.

At midday, it might seem like the birds that were so active in the morning have gone silent, maybe even vanished. But cormorants rally in the afternoon, offering a second chance to see and hear them. During the breeding season, Double-crested Cormorants have two peaks of fishing activity: the first around 9 a.m., and the second around 3 p.m. Their efficient fishing lets them spend most of the day drying their feathers and croaking at their neighbors.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote?

Ontario is doing it, but biologist Bill Montevecchi says a cull on cormorants may not be wise + Environmental lawyer Mike Kofahl says Canada needs to strengthen laws governing ocean noise to better protect marine life.

On a recent stroll along the Grand Canal in Dublin, Derek and Richard spotted a Cormorant. They are famous for holding their open wings out perpendicular to their bodies. It is often claimed that they are "hanging their wings out to dry, but there is also evidence to show that holding their wings out may also aid Cormorants in digesting their food.

This week's episode is a little different than usual. Instead of discussing one bird, we talk about RJ and Amanda's recent trip to Florida and all of the birds that they saw. RJ and Amanda ask John and Shannon about the Osprey, Brown Pelicans, Cormorants, Black Skimmers, American Oystercatchers, and many more. We also plead our case for the birds that have reached the Final Four in our Round Robin voting: The Shoebill, American Woodcock, Raven, and Atlantic Puffin. Enjoy!

00:00:33 - Dharma Talk 00:02:43 - The Guest House This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor. Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they're a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honourably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight. The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in. Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond. Rumi 00:03:30 - “An Ordinary Day,” by Norman MacCaig I took my mind a walk
or my mind took me a walk–
whichever was the truth of it. The light glittered on the water
or the water glittered in the light.
Cormorants stood on a tidal rock with their wings spread out,
stopping no traffic. Various ducks
shilly-shallied here and there on the shilly-shallying water.
An occasional gull yelped. Small flowers
were doing their level best to bring to their kerbs bees like
aerial charabancs. Long weeds in the clear
water did Eastern dances, unregarded By shoals of darning needles. A cow
started a moo but thought
better of it… And my feet took me home and my mind observed to me,
or I to it, how ordinary
extraordinary things are or how extraordinary ordinary
things are, like the nature of the mind
and the process of observing. By MacCaig 00:05:35 - Joel leads a 6 minute Body Scan 00:30:32 - Joel takes us through a contemplation of the 3 poisons (2 minutes) 00:39:09 - Joel Invites Reflections MB

Doug talks hunting, fishing, and golf with callers, and the conversation drifts to cormorants today.

Set against the backdrop of Miami's skyline, six structures rise from the turquoise waters of Biscayne Bay. Rugged and isolated, these houses on stilts are an unexpected site in the midst of a national park water world that was designated to preserve the coral reefs, seagrasses, mangrove forests, and other natural features. Cormorants and herons perch on the houses' roofs, railings, and pylons. Dolphins and manatees swim between them.  Together, these six structures are all that remain of Stiltsville's whimsical history, although none are among the original twenty-seven that formed this curiosity in the midst of a national park that is ninety-five percent water.  How did such a village come to exist and what does the future hold for these few relics that remain?

The double-crested cormorant is one of many seabirds that love to eat salmon. The birds were driven away from East Sand Island near the mouth of the Columbia River decades ago in an effort to protect the fish, but wildlife managers are now responding to some unintended consequences. Roughly 10,000 cormorants now prefer to make their home on the Astoria-Megler bridge. The acid from their excrement, or guano, eats through the bridge coating which Oregon Department of Transportation workers must remove regularly for safety inspections. Nesting cormorants can also  find their way onto the roadway, leading to encounters which can be fatal for the birds and pose safety hazards for drivers. We talk with James Lawonn, an avian biologist at the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, about what’s being done to protect the birds and the bridge. 

We hear from the CEO of Port Charlottetown about what they are doing to prevent cormorant and seagull droppings.

TRANSCRIPT OF AUDIO From the Cumberland Gap to the Atlantic Ocean, this is Virginia Water Radio for the weeks of September 18 and September 25, 2023.  This is a revised version of an episode from September 2014. SOUNDS - ~6 sec – Pied-billed Grebe call. This week, we feature some raucous mystery sounds from a family of diving birds.  Have a listen for about 20 seconds, and see if you can guess what's making these calls.  And here's a hint: you'll get grief if you miss this name by only one letter's sound. SOUNDS - ~ 22 sec. If you guessed grebe, you're right!  Those were some of the sounds made by the Pied-billed Grebe, Horned Grebe, and Red-necked Grebe.  Out of 22 grebe species worldwide and seven in North America, these three species are found commonly in many aquatic habitats in Virginia, with two others—the Eared Grebe and the Western Grebe—seen occasionally within the Commonwealth.  Horned Grebes and Red-necked Grebes are regular winter residents on Virginia's coasts, while the Pied-billed Grebe is typically a year-round resident on the coast and a winter resident in other regions. Grebes are known for their swimming and diving abilities; for example, the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's “Birds of the World” Web site says quote, “[g]rebes rocket through the water by compressing water behind them with coordinated thrusts of their muscular legs,” unquote; and Cornell's “All About Birds” site calls the Pied-billed Grebe “part bird, part submarine.”  Lobed toes set far back on their bodies adapt grebes for swimming, and their ability to add or remove water and air from their feathers and internal air sacs helps them to float or, as needed, to submerge to escape danger or to feed.  Grebes feed on a variety of aquatic animals like fish, crustaceans, and insects; on aquatic plants sometimes; and—notably—on their own feathers.  In turn, they may be eaten by such predators as raccoons, snakes, and birds of prey. Grebes call and act aggressively during breeding season, but they may be quieter and much less noticeable during non-breeding season.   In fact, a calm pond surface might conceal a hiding grebe with only its nostrils exposed to the air, or that surface might be broken—almost silently—by a grebe emerging with a fish in its bill. Thanks to Lang Elliott for permission to use the grebe sounds, from the Stokes' Field Guide to Bird Songs, and we let the Pied-billed Grebe have the last call. SOUNDS - ~6 sec. SHIP'S BELL Virginia Water Radio is produced by the Virginia Water Resources Research Center, part of Virginia Tech's College of Natural Resources and Environment.  For more Virginia water sounds, music, or information, visit us online at virginiawaterradio.org, or call the Water Center at (540) 231-5624.  Thanks to Stewart Scales for his banjo version of “Cripple Creek” to open and close this episode.  In Blacksburg, I'm Alan Raflo, thanking you for listening, and wishing you health, wisdom, and good water.

EXTRA INFORMATION ABOUT THE PIED-BILLED GREBE The following information is quoted from the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources (formerly Department of Game and Inland Fisheries), “Fish and Wildlife Information Service,” online at https://services.dwr.virginia.gov/fwis/, primarily the “Life History” section of the the Pied-billed Grebe entry, online at https://services.dwr.virginia.gov/fwis/booklet.html?&bova=040008&Menu=_.Taxonomy&version=19612. The scientific name of the Pied-billed Grebe is Podilymbus podiceps. Physical Description “This species is 12-15 inches (31-38 cm) long with a 23 inch wingspread.  It is a small, stocky bird distinguished by its short, blunt bill encircled by a broad black band with the upper portion of the bill curved downward; it is often described as chicken-like.  ...Grebes have lobed toes, feet that are placed far back on the body, and a short rudder-like tail to aid in pursuing prey underwater.” Reproduction “The nest is built by both members of the pair and is made up of flags, rushes, sedge, algae and mud and is attached to grasses, reeds or bushes in the water. ...The eggs are laid from March to September, are blue-white initially, and then turn brown.  The brown color results from the adults covering the eggs with wet organic matter when they are foraging or defending the territory.  ...There may be up to 2 broods per year.  Incubation takes about 23 days and begins with the first egg laid.” Behavior “Nest attendance is shared equally by the male and female during egg-laying and post-laying periods.  Incubation however, is carried out mostly by the female.  The streaked or spotted chicks can swim almost immediately after hatching.  The young will usually travel on the parents back or will cling to their tail.  The parents may feed the chicks and even dive while chicks are on their back.  The parents will return to the nest frequently with the young.  Young grebes fledge at about 35 days.  ...[This species] rarely flies, and it escapes by diving with a short leap or by slowly submerging.  It is the most solitary of the grebes.  It is the first grebe to arrive north in the spring and the last to leave in the fall.  It migrates in closely-massed flocks. ...” Feeding “Diet consists primarily of fish including eels, carp, and catfish as well as sticklebacks, sculpins, silversides, and minnows.  [It will also] forage on crayfishes, aquatic insects, snails, spiders, frogs, tadpoles, some seeds and soft parts of aquatic plants, ...[and] on shrimp in saltwater bays and estuaries.  [It ingests] large numbers of their own feathers.  This may serve to protect the stomach from puncture by indigestible parts and prevent hard items from entering the intestines.  Feathers also provide the base material of regurgitated pellets that contain undigested material such as fish bones.” Aquatic/Terrestrial Associations: “In Virginia, pied-billed grebes have been observed foraging with snowy egrets.  Mutualistic foraging enhances opportunities for obtaining prey.  Limiting factors: The greatest losses of nests and eggs resulted from wind, rain, waves, and storm tides.  Predators of eggs and young include raccoons, laughing gulls, water snakes, snapping turtles, and peregrine falcons.” SOURCES Used for Audio Cornell University Lab of Ornithology, “All About Birds,” online at http://www.allaboutbirds.org.The Horned Grebe entry is online at https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Horned_Grebe/;the Pied-billed Grebe entry is online at https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Pied-billed_Grebe/;the Red-necked Grebe entry is online at https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Red-necked_Grebe/.

In this episode, we explore the Bay Area's many species of marsh birds, including the Snowy Egret, Bufflehead, and Double-crested Cormorant, and discuss their relationship with the marsh's ecosystems. This episode also includes an original poem about Buffleheads. Bird information for this episode was found on All About Birds, a birding website created by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/news/. Information about Buffleheads came from Buffleheads by Anthony J Erskine, and information about Double-crested Cormorants came from The Devil's Cormorant by Richard J King. General information about ducks came from Ducks, Geese, and Swans of North America by Guy A. Baldassarre. I also mention Sacramento Heron and Egret Rescue. You can learn about their work here: https://sacheronsave.org/.

Episode: 2574 Houston's herons — especially the lovely snowy egret.  Today, herons and egrets.

Doug talks golfing, fishing, and hunting, but today he doesn't talk to any callers due to a mysterious technical issue with radio phone lines across the country.

This week saw the return of the cormorant which prompts a visit to Ernest Ingersoll to find out why they have no voice. A fairly severe reaction to the Covid jab meant that I missed attending this year's graduation ceremony so join me as I think about past ceremonies and reflect on the journey of those passaging from graduand to graduate.Journal entry: 9th November, Wednesday“Here they come' Like a stream in spate, Rolling black pebbles in its wake.Half a dozen tree-fulls of rooks, Crows, jackdaws pouring across a skyline of dying embers And mauve.Their chatter rises up to me, intense, busy with life and the most serious of pleasures.Their words are full of comfort.”Episode Information:In this episode I read an excerpt from Ernest Ingersoll's (1923) Birds in Legend, Fable and Folklore published by Longmans, Green and Co.

Deborah asks Liz White to explain how the Animal Protection Party differs from the Green Party, Greenpeace, & PETA. Liz describes a completely different political party that advocates for animals; on farms, being hunted, trapped, fished and for a kinder society. ‘Compassionate politics' is the term Liz White uses to define the party ethic. What are they actually doing to help animals on the ground? Right now they are working to stop the Cormorant cull in Ontario and they need your support Cormorants are migratory birds that eat small fish in fresh and salt water and migrate from all over the USA and Canada and have been persecuted for decades. Even during the pandemic when only essential workers are meant to be out, the Ontario government is still paying and sending people in boats to a bird sanctuary island 25 miles off shore to kill cormorants. These birds are not Ontario's to kill, Deborah points out these are the same birds that fly all over north America and migrate back and forth so you don't have to be Canadian to send this politician an email. Click here to tell the Minister in charge to end the cull of Cormorants in Ontario. You can reach Minister Wilkinson by phone at 1-819-938-3813 or e-mail: Jonathan.Wilkinson@parl.gc.ca to say stop the killing of cormorants! EPISODE NOTES: Animal Protection Party of Canada

In episode two, I have the pleasure of two guests: Cornwall-based writer, actor and facilitator Clare Owen who has recently released her first book, Zed and the Cormorants, and voice artist, actor, and once-upon-a-time TV presenter Sophie Aldred who is most famous for her role as Ace in Dr. Who and is the reader for the audio book of Zed. We spoke about crossing artistic modalities, the part nature plays in creativity, and the theme of mental health that flows as an undercurrent through Clare's book.  Zed and the cormorant is available to buy or can be ordered at all bookshops.

Episode: 2064 Seeing what we might have otherwise driven past on the South Texas coast.  Today, let's go birding.

“the whole story concerning the politician, the lighthouse, and the trained cormorant” [VEIL]   There is one scant mention of a cormorant in the Sherlock Holmes stories — in one of Watson's enticing throwaway lines of a case which we'll never read. In "The Veiled Lodger," he tells us about the case involving a trained cormorant that might be revealed to the public. But what is a cormorant? Can it really be trained? It's the third week of the month, and that means we discuss exotic animals in the Canon. It's just a Trifle.  And please consider supporting our efforts through Patreon or  PayPal.     Links / Notes This episode: ihose.co/trifles229 Stunning images of Chinese fishermen using cormorants to catch fish (The Atlantic) More photos of cormorants catching fish (Arkin Space) Not mentioned in the episode, but The Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes on Radio 4 featured this untold tale.    Sponsor The BSJ   Music credits Performers: Uncredited violinist, US Marine Chamber Orchestra Publisher Info.: Washington, DC: United States Marine Band Copyright: Creative Commons Attribution 3.0   --

In this episode, Claire & Sophie interview author Clare Owen. Clare has recently published her first teen book 'Zed and the Cormorants'. In this podcast we ask Clare the following questions: - What is your book about? - We've read that you are involved in theatre and you act out stories from the county of Cornwall. Was this an inspiration when writing the book? (1.27) - Why did you choose the cormorant? (3) - Explain why you focused on the issues you did in the book? (7) - How did you develop the character of Amy and why was this development important? (8.30) - Why did you not include other characters during the cormorant ceremony? (9.43) - What is your next project and what are you reading? (13.58) - Do you bake bread?

We’re talking coyote hunting with hounds in the second hour this week in a conversation with veteran hunter Nick Ostroski. Nick Green from MUCC talks about a recent decision that allows for cormorant control in Michigan. This week’s “Ask Avery” segment deals with Michigan moose and the springtime turkey license process.

Earlier this summer the Ontario government announced the introduction of a fall hunting season for double-crested cormorants, starting September 15. Gail Fraser, a professor at York University, specializes in water birds and discusses the hunt and what it could mean for the cormorant's future.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sitting on a piling, wings outstretched, the Double-crested Cormorant looks like a black Celtic cross. Cormorants dive from the water's surface, pursuing prey under water, propelled by powerful webbed feet.

Doug briefly touches on the Astros sign-stealing scandal before flounder discussion takes over the show for the rest of the day. Frequent guest Brian Treadway calls in to share his flounder knowledge, then Doug hands out some fishing advice, talks about cormorants and hits on some golf and remembering NOT to compare yourself to PGA players to wrap things up.

Ornithologist and conservationist Dan Rouse joins me for a walk on Rhossili Headland, on the Gower Peninsula, Wales. A well-respected birder and wildlife educator, Dan tells me how she became interested in birds at a young age, and how her advocacy for conservation of Welsh wildlife has led to tv and radio appearances. During the walk, Dan helps me identify the differences between Skylarks and Meadow Pipits, Cormorants and Shags, and Common Gulls and Herring Gulls.

In today's news: a health update, status of the Cormorants in Quinn's Pond, and a neo-surrealist poem by Charles Simic. “...downright frighening…to be reminded of one's own solitude...” Notes at www.jefferyoliver.com | 2019.10.24 © Sunset Grove Media

In this episode, I begin working through the few new topics presented in the book of Leviticus. First, there are Suzerain Vassal treaties, a concept almost as old as society itself. Many such international arrangements have been in place all over the globe, through our modern era. I also cover cormorants, one of the lesser known birds the ancient Israelites were prohibited from eating. After listening, let me know what you think.

Today’s program is about the image or presence of God in poetry. That includes, more widely, the incorporation of “the gods,” the divine, the numinous and the transcendent as well. The program is not about what we might refer to as “religious poetry” as such – though, of course, the appearance or evocation of the divine in poetry can be linked to various religious traditions. Rather, it is about how the idea of the divine in poetry – however that sense of divinity is depicted - might, indeed, be a reflection of a deeper human need for “epiphany” and salvation and redemption on a human scale as well as on some more cosmic platform. The program provides a quick historical look at principal literary texts that incorporate that sense of the divine and ends with some poems from my book Cormorants.

Today's show is brought to you by Celtic Invasion Vacations Every year, I take Celtic music fans on an adventure of a lifetime. This is not your typical wham-bam-thank you m'aam tour. We travel in small groups. We explore the Celtic history of different regions. We don't need to see everything, because this is a vacation. Instead, our invasion brings out the relaxation and magic of our adventure. In 2018, you can join me on a Celtic Invasion of the Isle of Skye in Scotland.

Obamacare Repeal, Cormorants, Cuba Trade by Congressman Rick Crawford (AR-1)

This week’s show begins with Peter interviewing attorney Nicholas Whipps, from the Center for Biological Diversity. Nicholas voices the widespread concern that the blue tang will become the next sought after species for home aquariums, similar to what happened to the clownfish depicted in Finding Nemo. The methods used to harvest blue tangs are devastating […]

This week Cultures of Energy welcomes the brilliant (and fully certified) sound artist and composer Lawrence English (http://lawrenceenglish.com) to the podcast. Lawrence explains his relational approach to listening and how he became interested in the practice of field recording. We discuss the difference between hearing and listening, field recording as a political act, aesthetics of signal and noise, and how different ears have different horizons of listening. As a non-linear medium, Lawrence emphasizes the endlessness and promiscuousness of sound and how listening can help us reconnect to our immediate environments and to the world at large. Relish the incidental! In our final segment, (63:18) we mix for your audition and pleasure several clips from Lawrence's 2012 field recording collection, Songs Of The Living And The Lived In (http://emporium.room40.org/categories/lawrence-english-editions). See if you can recognize the Antarctic fur seal sleeping, Amazonian howler monkeys, Cormorants flocking at dusk, Australian chiroptera, Adele penguin chicks, Antarctic fur seals very much awake, white-throated toucans' dawn display and a trigona carbonaria hive invasion.

From BCB... In this episode of “Bainbridge Outdoors,” BCB host Annie Osburn joins Bainbridge Island birder George Gerdts at Fort Ward Park to talk about fall bird migration on the island. A passionate birder since childhood, Gerdts is a virtual storehouse of knowledge when it comes to our local birds, their habitat, behaviors, songs, calls, and more. On this misty fall morning, Gerdts and Osburn meet at the southern end of Fort Ward Park, near the fish pens, to take a closer look at the migrating waterfowl that come to winter on this stretch of saltwater shoreline. Many of the birds who've been absent all summer are now returning from their Arctic breeding grounds.  Look for Surf Scoters, White-winged Scoters and the occasional Black Scoter; Double-crested Cormorants, California Gulls, ducks, geese, and more.  Waterfowl migration is not just one single event, but rather a long and complex movement that starts around July 1st and continues as late as mid-November, and Bainbridge is the perfect place to observe. The National Audubon Society has named Fort Ward Park, which is actually part of the Puget Loop section of the over 3,000-mile Great Washington State Birding Trail, one of seven key sites on the Kitsap Peninsula for migrating birds.  Gerdts, who leads private birding tours as well as for the Bainbridge Island Metro Park & Recreation District, points out the obvious reasons why this spot on Bainbridge is so attractive: “The waters around Bainbridge are incredibly rich in bait fish. We're blessed with waters that have a lot of phytoplankton and some upwelling that happens, which feeds the bait fish and the birds that come to feed on those. We don't ever get freezing conditions in the water and the food supply is abundant.” So whether you're a novice birder or a passionate hobbyist, Bainbridge Island has plenty to offer. Get out now to see what's happening with birds on the island. Gerdts' parting advice: “There are so many ways to enjoy birding. Choose one.” This is the first in a four-part series about birding on Bainbridge. Next up: the Christmas Bird Count. Stay tuned.
