On today's Manu Minute, we have got the scratchy calls of a common game bird. Thanks to the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology for these recordings of black francolins.

For today's Manu Minute, we've got the mating song of the rock pigeon, which was introduced to Hawaiʻi over 200 years ago. Thanks to the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology for these recordings.

ʻŌʻu were once common honeycreepers across all the main Hawaiian Islands, but the last confirmed sighting of an ʻōʻū was on Kauaʻi in 1989. This species is now presumed to be extinct. Listen to the song of this long-lost bird on today's Manu Minute, thanks to recordings from the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology.

The endemic ʻalae ʻula is one of a handful of subspecies of the common gallinule, but there's nothing common about this waterbird. Listen to their calls, thanks to the Macaulay Library of the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology.

Pets to pests… On this week's Manu Minute, we've got the songs, or rather squawks of the introduced rose-ringed parakeet. That's courtesy of recordings from the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology.

Hawaiʻi is the only place in the world where Japanese bush warblers have become established outside their natural range. You can hear their song on today's Manu Minute, thanks to the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology.

Folks on Oʻahu, Kauaʻi, and Maui can keep their eyes wide and ears out for the sight or sound of the lovely white-rumped shama. We have its song on today's Manu Minute, thanks to the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology.

We've got a little sandpiper for you today. Its rattling call gives you a clue to its name. With recordings from the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology and Xeno Canto, University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo professor Patrick Hart brings you the Manu Minute.

In spite of their lavish appearance, Indian peafowl are actually quite common. Native to India and Sri Lanka, these birds have been introduced throughout the world. We have their song for you, thanks to the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology.

The moaning wedge-tailed shearwater is the star of Manu Minute today, thanks to recordings from the Macaulay Library at Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology.

There are a few more weeks to spot the visiting sanderlings, which come to Hawaiʻi every winter. We've got their song for you, thanks to the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology.

The Northern cardinal is the ruby in the crown of any backyard birder. We've got their song, thanks to the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology.

On this Manu Minute, we are dishing up a bird that is often seen but not heard. The ‘iwa, or great frigatebird, flies high above our heads, performing acrobatic feats midair. We've got the song of this storied seabird today, thanks to Macaulay Library at the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology.

Here's a bird everyone will likely be familiar with — it's the myna! Myna birds are everywhere. (Really, we wish we were kidding.) They've been declared one of the world's worst invasive species. We've got their songs for you today, thanks to the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology.

It's the season to see kioea! These long-billed shorebirds spend their winters here. They're not too common on the main Hawaiian islands, so we have their call for you from the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology in today's Manu Minute.

Calling all backyard farmers! We're looking at humankind's first alarm clock: the moa, or red junglefowl. Common chickens were likely domesticated from red junglefowl in Asia over 8,000 years ago. We've got both here in Hawaiʻi! Listen to the difference in their crows, thanks to Macaulay Library at the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology, on today's Manu Minute.

Did you know that Hawaiʻi has Northern mockingbirds? This talented songbird is one of the stars of the bird world in North America — it's even the official bird of five different U.S. states. But it admittedly seems out of place in our islands. Our host Patrick Hart will tell you how they got here and how to find them, and we've got a few of their versatile songs for you as well, thanks to the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology.

We've got two new birds for you today: the red-crested cardinal and the yellow-billed cardinal. We get to hear both of their songs, thanks to the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology. Can you tell the difference?

Have you ever seen an ΄alae ke΄oke΄o? It's our endemic coot! It can be found in wetlands throughout the Hawaiian Islands. Despite its widespread territory, its small population numbers can make this bird hard to find. But we've got its call for you today, courtesy of the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology.

How can we help threatened species to cope with climate change? We talk to Matthew Medler from the world-renowned Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology. We hear about the lucky frog who lived to hop another day and Terry Flanagan goes to the Phoenix Park in search of some deer.

Kalij pheasants take the spotlight in this brand new Manu Minute. These flashy game birds have been strutting their stuff around the Hawaiian Islands since the 1960s. With recordings from the Macaulay Library of the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology, our host Patrick Hart walks through how these pheasants' breeding behavior has adapted since their arrival on our shores.

Want to get into bird watching, but don't know where to start? How about the International Marketplace in Waikīkī? Today's Manu Minute was made with recordings from the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology.

We look to the skies in search of a sleek endemic raptor that symbolizes royalty. In this week's Manu Minute, we learn about Hawai‘i's only native hawk. And thanks to the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology for bringing us its song! University of Hawai‘i at Hilo professor Patrick Hart introduces us to the ‘io.

Move over, plover — there's a new shorebird in town. Thanks to the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology, we've got the song of the ˊŪlili for you! These indigenous birds recently packed up for the long flight across the Pacific for their mating season, but they'll be back in August. In today's Manu Minute, University of Hawaii at Hilo professor Patrick Hart tells us how to keep an eye out for the ˊŪlili when they return.

Have you ever noticed those flocks of finches with bright red eye-masks hanging out in grassy fields? This week, University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo professor Patrick Hart introduces you to the tiny waxbill...common but very eye-catching. This Manu Minute was made with field recordings from the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology.

The streets of Downtown Honolulu might not be the first place you'd think to bird watch, but at least one very special bird calls this city home: the indigenous manu-o-Kū, also known as the white tern. Today's Manu Minute was made with recordings from the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology.

ʻAukuʻu like a hardy meal. They are keen foragers and will hunt fish, insects, frogs, mice, and even young water bird chicks. Scientists have also observed ʻaukuʻu exhibit a clever form of "tool use"; if night herons are in busy areas where people feed ducks bread, they will often take pieces of bread and lure in the fish with the “bait.” Special thanks to the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology.

My guest in this episode is Brian Sullivan.Brian is a long-time leader at the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology, where he currently serves as Digital Publications Lead, managing the Birds of the World project, and he has previously served as project leader for eBird from 2005 to 2017. Brian has conducted fieldwork on birds throughout North America for the past 25 years.  Birding travels, photography, and field projects have taken him around the world, and he has written or coauthored several books and scientific papers including: Better Birding—Tips, Tools, and Concepts for the Field; The Crossley ID Guide: Raptors; and the forthcoming Princeton Guide to North American Birds. He is co-creator of the groundbreaking Raptor Id app for mobile devices, and he also served as photographic editor for the American Birding Association's journal North American Birds from 2005-2013.Today we discuss many of these topics, including the transformation of eBird into a global ornithological resource, developing and launching the Birds of the World project, which is the definitive resource for all 10721 bird species and has an exciting future roadmap ahead. We also discuss the forthcoming Princeton Guide to North American Birds, which is a project 15 years in the making. Brian's experiences in print media and cutting-edge online media give him a visionary's perspective for the future of online resources for scientists and birders alike. We spend time discussing how remote sensing, phone sensing, and augmented reality might accelerate community awareness of and engagement with the environment. And this may come about sooner than one might think.Full Show Notes are podcast.naturesarchive.comLinks and References from the Episode:Chris Wood - an early partner of Brian's at eBirdDerby Hill Hawk WatchHawk Mountain, PennsylvaniaJack Conner - taught a college Biology of Birds course that helped re-ignite Brian's interestPaul Lehman - editor of Birding Magazine when Brian published his first articleBirds of the World - Cornell's comprehensive resource for all 10,721 of the world's birdsBirding Magazine - The American Birding Association's (ABA) magazineBirdNET App - identify birds by soundThe Australian Bird Guide Collins Birds of Europe  (link to the USA publication)Crossley Guides - Richard Crossley's series of photo collage guides that Brian references (and co-author of the Raptor ID Guide)eBirdMerlin Bird ID - free app and part of the Cornell Lab's ecosystem of resourcesNational Geographic's Birds of North America Princeton University Press - A leader in quality nature and field guidesRaptor ID App - created and published by Brian and Jerry LiguoriSeason at the Point: The Birds and Birders of Cape May - by Thomas ConnorThe Sibley Guide to Birds [East] [West]

Fiona Gameson has been blind since she was about 3 and half years old, and since childhood has used echolocation to help navigate her surroundings. Echolocation is used by bats and dolphins and some other marine mammals to navigate and hunt their prey. It involves producing a sonar emission (mouth clicks in Fiona’s case) and listening to the echoes to hear and “see” their surroundings. Lore Thaler a lecturer at Durham University has been studying human echolocation and we hear about her work with individuals like Fiona. We also hear from Christopher Willis Clark, a senior scientist and Professor at Cornell University and in the Bioacoustics Research Programme at Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology where he studies the acoustic behaviour of birds, fish, elephants and whales. He too is familiar with the notion of ‘seeing with sound’, of creating ‘maps’ from sounds and using these to navigate underwater. Above the waves, poet Katrina Porteus discusses how listening to the soundscape of places has influenced her work and Trevor Cox, Professor of Acoustic Engineering at Salford University recalls some of his favourite listening experiences in reverberant spaces and explains how the acoustics in a badly designed lecture hall in the late 1800's was the starting point for the study of architectural acoustics along with some hand claps and a saxophone in Trevor’s case! Producer Sarah Blunt.

Ornithologist Eduardo Inigo-Elias, senior research associate with the conservation science program at the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology, talks about the challenges of studying migratory birds and how improved relations between the U.S. and Cuba will help his field     

Joann's still thinking about weather and the Sun, which drives it. Gary heard a Scarlet Tanager. Part 2 of our interview with Andrew Farnsworth of the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology.

Gary talks about his favorite bird, the Eastern Wood-pewee. We don't know why Gordon's thinking about Elderberry. Joann is watching for a derecho. Our interview is with Andrew Farnsworth of the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology about Team Sapsucker's epic Big Day. Stay tuned for part 2 of the interview next week!

Dr. Christopher Clark is director of the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology. He is an expert on the science of sound and the effects of noise on whales. What we can learn from whales about sound transference and its application to ocean movements, the arctic ecosystem, arctic navigation and resource extraction is explored. This event is sponsored with Alaska's Big Village Network.

Gary's thinking fairy shrimp, (Yep. In the fall. What can we say?) Joann dissects the Snowtober event, and Gordon saw a mink! We interview Tim Gallagher of the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology about their recent discovery of video of the Imperial Woodpecker.

Joann talks about Barred Owls; Gary discusses a newly discovered type of algae; Gordon explains Red-bellied Woodpeckers. Part 2 of Ivory-billed Woodpecker interview with Ron Rohrbaugh from the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology.
