You have probably at least heard of the island of Bali, but what about the Bali Myna? Probably not. Now, I don’t blame you, this bird is very endangered, and found only on the western-most part of Bali. In fact, there are probably only less than 50 individuals today. This bird needs all the help it can get, so let’s learn all about the Bali Myna. You can donate to help save the Bali Myna at birdfund.com/bali or at fnpf.org/donations/buy-bali-starling-nest-boxes/.

Birding in Costa Rica

As many of you probably know, I just got back from a trip to Costa Rica. The focus of this trip was 100% birding. This episode will have a different structure than most others. Instead of talking about one single bird species, this episode will have three main parts. First, I will talk about my stay at one of the most world-renowned birding lodges in all of Costa Rica, if not the world, Rancho Naturalista. Then, I will go over some of the other animals we encountered, and over the habitat and...

The Ivory-billed Woodpecker

If you are a birder, you may have noticed that this bird of the day’s focus is a little different. You would be right. Very little is known about the Ivory-billed Woodpecker. There are only a few photos and sound recordings from some deep forest in Arkansas and Louisiana. In fact, most people say it's extinct, but some disagree. So are there still Ivory-billed Woodpeckers out there, or are they lost forever? Listen to learn more! Submit your Carrier Pigeon Corner questions in this form. Chec...

The Gray Catbird

This might seem like a basic, neighborhood bird to you, but the Gray Catbird is actually pretty interesting. After all, it is related to the mockingbirds and thrashers, famous for their mimicking abilities. And this bird is nothing short of a virtuoso, mixing songs from other birds to create its own. So lets learn all about the Gray Catbird. Submit your Carrier Pigeon Corner questions in this form. Check out the Bird of the Day website, birdofthedaypodcast.com.

The King Eider

This King Eider definitely deserves the name “King.” It is an explosion of color, with a mix of green, red, yellow, and blue-gray on its face. If I was given the choice of which duck is the most colorful, the King Eider would definitely be in the top five. But this bird isn’t all looks; it has some pretty amazing behaviors too!

The Merlin

Bird of the Day has been an ongoing thing for the past 2-3 years for me, although not in podcast format until now. It started out as a website, and then I branched out to sending a daily email, which turned into a weekly email. The first ever Bird of the Day was about the Merlin. So, as a commemoration of that very first website page, the first Bird of the Day Podcast episode is about the Merlin. Luckily, this is a very interesting bird, so there is much to discuss!
