'Friends, the ResQwalk app is awesome. Not only is it free, it’s helps your favorite shelter or rescue just by doing something you already do. Walking! When you have downloaded the app you can then choose which rescue you want your part of the weekly donation to go towards. You can actually choose up to three charities to walk for. From there, it’s just as simple as using the app to track your walks!

'“Okay, fellow songbird rehabbers,” wrote Vonda Lee Morton of Laurens Wildlife Rescue on her FaceBook page. “Is this a Song Sparrow ? Tiny little pre-fledgling — nearly fully feathered. Belly’s not bruised; skin tone his purplish-red, as is gape. Feathers on belly, nearly obscured by my thumb, yellow. Quiet little “chip” for begging call. Nearly inaudible.”.

'Way back in January, my wife and I welcomed our second child into our family. Savvy readers of 10,000 Birds and mostly defunct (but not yet dead!) The Drinking Bird may have seen a drop-off in content starting right about then. Babies have a way of sucking up your time and energy in a way that a week-long heavy birding excursion can’t quite compete with.

'It is not everyday that you get the chance to see an active bird nest. And a nest that is right next to a road that sees very little traffic at all is rarer still. You can understand, then, why I was so psyched to come across a pair of Eastern Kingbirds busy feeding their nestlings. In fact they were so busy catching bugs and stuffing them into their nestlings’ mouths that they paid me, unobtrusively digiscoping them from my car parked across the street, no mind at all.

'We recently received a sample of the new Purina Beyond dog food (and we have some bags to give away for cats or dogs, so be sure to keep reading). We were excited about this new product because it is full of natural ingredients. Real meat, poultry, or fish is the number 1 ingredient. The food is free from corn, wheat, and soy, with no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives.

'It’s mid-July, which among other things means that those of us in North America are starting to check local mudflats for returning shorebird migrants and waiting impatiently for the AOU to hurry up and create five species from the Clapper-King rail complex (the reasons for which we covered last year ). So while you’re waiting for that or for low tide, here are a few reads and bits of news on bird taxonomy and systematics that have caught my eye over the past few weeks.

'Keep your eyes to the skies for brilliant sunrises, like the one my buddy Beau Walsburger snapped in Virginia Beach this morning. The month of July is more than half over, but those of us enjoying summer still have many weeks of hot fun ahead. Folks on the chilly side of the Equator can take solace in the fact that spring will be here soon enough. I’ll be finishing up my Virginia Beach vacation and admiring birds on the Chesapeake Bridge Bay Tunnel on the way back to Rochester this weeken

'When I was a small kid I lived in Southern California, and my parents used to take me to Disneyland, the Happiest Place on Earth(TM). Back in the halcyon days, when dinosaurs still roamed the Earth (at least in my mind) and a nickel was still a lot of money, my favourite ride was the river safari one, where you could pretend to be an explorer in a river boat going past animatronic safari animals.

'Any Jimmy Buffet fans out there? His song, “C hanges in latitude, changes in birding attitude” really rings true when you’re on the road. Traveling really rejuvenates the passion when local breeders become banal. Most people don’t expect birding wisdom from Buffet, but he is, after all, the Chief Parrothead! I’ve only been in Virginia Beach for a few days and I’ve already knocked down most of my targets, including Blue Grosbeak and Yellow-breasted Chat at Ba

'Knowing what to expect in a particular habitat type is important in identifying birds. Being able to describe habitat types accurately is a challenge. Some habitat types are simple and easy to describe. Others are more complex and words and a single photography may often fall short. In thinking how to accurately describe a habitat type, I ran into an application (app) that might help; the Photosynth panoramic view.

'On our recent trip to the Southern Highlands we encountered a miserable morning one day and it really looked unlikely that the sky would clear in the highlands and so we took ourselves to the coast. We took the road from Mittagong that passes through Macquarie Pass National Park and it is a very windy route from the top of the escarpment to the base of the cliffs.
