Did you know that both male & female Mangrove Yellow Warblers sing and duet? This is one of the many differences supporting its split from the Northern Yellow Warbler. If you’re curious to learn more, read the BOW article about the Mangrove Yellow Warbler here!

Nothing exemplifies the spirit of birding like lying down in the wet grass with a complete stranger to get pictures of a sparrow while people walk past on the sidewalk five feet away

This is why we pick the bear.
Since Trump fired most of the National Park Service, the bears have to pick up the slack.

Welp this is horrifying. These researchers quantified the "stratigraphy" of plastic waste used in Common Coot nests. Using expiration dates, they found one nest that contained 635 (!!!) pieces of trash, including plastic dating back to 1991.

I feel like we remove power from amazon by NOT TALKING ABOUT AMAZON.
Mention the library. Mention the indie bookseller. Mention the direct stores.
LINK to the publisher or the direct store or the author website.

You don’t even have to bring up Amazon or link to them.
