Woodpeckers are a fascinating family. They bang away at trees with their beaks, without knocking themselves silly. They excavate nest holes, which later become homes for other birds and small mammals, making them a keystone species. There are 22 species of woodpeckers in the US and Canada. I have seen 21 of them. Here, I share my favourites. Red-headed Woodpecker 2.

My father was a keen reader, and on most Saturday afternoons he would go the local public library. I would often accompany him, and I soon discovered the shelves of natural-history books.

During my vacation with friends close to Cannes in southern France, my priority was of course to catch up and spend some quality time with my friend group from university. Apart from my birding trip to the Coussouls de Crau, I couldn’t stop birding when I was outside. A highlight was spotting two Yelkouan Shearwaters with the scope from the shore.

The poor little guy is skin and bones, and they refused to tell me what he was eating before. I’m doing everything I can to give him the love and care he deserves, but I need a little help.

I heard that owls can only see one colour, which is blue. However, upon doing research they can see black and white, and also red in some lights. So it got me curious, what animals can only see one colour? So far, I’ve found that octopus and squid only see blue, but some sources say black and white.

Hello, I own property in Maine and recently found a dead crow half buried in my garden. Today I found another one half buried in some grass clippings. Neither has any signs of injury. I'm worried this is avian flu. Does anyone have any experience or explanations for this? We have a huge crow population and really enjoy watching them. I called the USDA and they're calling me back.
