Gulls or "Seagulls"? | Gulls seem so much a part of the sea that we often just call them "seagulls," a colloquial title for these graceful, ubiquitous creatures. Twenty-two species breed in North America. The Pacific coast is home to the aptly named Western Gulls. | 5/21/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Endangered Species Day | This Golden-cheeked Warbler nests only in a Central Texas woodland. Its small breeding range is ever more fragmented by residential development, and its numbers are in serious decline. | 5/20/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Important Bird Areas | In order to survive, birds – like all creatures – need the essentials of life: food, water, shelter, a place to bring forth the next generation. The single name for these essentials is habitat. | 5/19/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Great Horned Owl III | This Great Horned Owlet - about 2-1/2 months old and already as big as its parents - is quite well feathered, although its underparts remain downy. Its wing and tail feathers are developing nicely, and it has begun to make short flights. | 5/18/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Galapagos Archipelago - Melville's Encantadas | Herman Melville, author of Moby Dick, described the Galapagos, a group of volcanic islands in the Pacific, as: "an archipelago of aridities, without inhabitant, history, or hope of either in all time to come."

The Ruby-crowned Kinglet Tunes Up | The Ruby-crowned Kinglet is one of the smallest songbirds on the continent, weighing in at just a little more than half a chickadee. Mostly green and hard to spot, it hovers in mid-air as it catches tiny insects. | 5/15/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Bird Songs Reflect the Environment | The explosive notes of a Marsh Wren carry well through thick vegetation. A Common Yellowthroat's choppy, repetitive song rattles right through a stand of cattails. An Olive-sided Flycatcher sings from atop a tall tree, its song carrying at least half a mile through the open air. | 5/14/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Mother Birds | Avian motherhood is a mixed bag. Peregrine Falcon mothers share duties fairly equally with Peregrine dads. At the other end of the spectrum is the female hummingbird, which usually carries the entire burden of nesting, incubating, and tending the young. | 5/13/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Customer Reviews
Short bits designed to gather interest in birds and birding
A series of short segments that call attention to the birds around you and their behaviours - calling attention to what gets tuned out in your daily lives. Encountered first on my local NPR station, later came to the podcast for the items I missed.
Two minute bliss
I don't even particularly like birds. But this podcast does such a good job of transporting you to another world it's amazing. In a short two minutes I feel just as stimulated as reading a book.
Birders take note
Sweet little podcast on bird behavior that is informative and fun. I'm going to recommend it to my birder friends.
