Hey gang, there is still space left on the relaxed Panama birding tour. Come with me, we will see cool bird and sloth and end the day with booze and bat falcons and tinamous. 

There is now a World Girl Birders page you can join on Facebook. 

Interesting story advocating feeding ducks fruits and vegetables instead of bread. 

This is the worst hummingbird feeder every. Really, don't do this.

One of the best thing you can do is plant at least one native plant in your yard. Are you up for that this summer? Here are some tips. 

Crows bringing gifts to a kid sparks others to share their crow sharing stories. 

Hey! I'm going to Panama, want to come with me?

How does the whole "The Dress" debate apply to birding...think about all the times you saw someone (or maybe you yourself) grossly misidentify a bird...

Here are Non Birding Bill's suggestions of eye mind benders--it's the color dogs and chess set that freak me out.

Buy Christana Staal's art. AKA Drawing 10,000 Birds. 

Hey remember the whole brew ha ha over the first printing of the second edition Sibley? Well, the publisher is now offering people who purchased that copy a chance to replace it with a  color corrected one according to The Birder's Library. 

Are more celebrities getting into birding? Actor John Stamos and singer John Mayer drop some interesting info on the social medias. 

I was honored to be included the list of people Audubon asked how we got into birding. And I giggled about some of the edits they made to my article.

Not sure what shocks me more: an avian ecologist admitting that they let their cat run loose and know it kills birds or that the collar actually kinda works.

Someone apparently did a study confirming what many of us suspected about male and female birders...we're passionate, but different.

Speaking of which, I have an article in the current ABA Birder's Guide on how women can pee in the woods standing up. Yes.  I tested everything.
