This lady takes bird songs and sets the to beats and music. The product is usually pretty awesome. Some one posted a picture of a Common Potoo on the chat thread a week or so ago with a “wtf, bird man” comment. So here is the common Potoo remix:

That’s fantastic.

[PhDeac]

That’s pretty cool.

Here’s a cool study led by an old friend of mine.

Hey we had a great horned owl in our yard a few weeks ago. It was eating a vulture it had killed.

I downloaded the Merlin Bird ID app on my phone. Identified a Black Vulture and a Barred Owl from my backyard yesterday. The Barred Owl was sitting in a dead tree in our yard for a very long time hooting with an owl in my neighbor's yard. It was fun to listen to.

Merlin App is great for getting started or when traveling to new areas with birds you're not familiar with.

I think he needs all the help he can get since it was needed to identify a black vulture.

Now, now, go easy, juvenile turkey vultures have black heads and can be pretty easily confused with a black vultures.

Yo birdman. Found this baby bird just outside my fence. I know there’s a barred owl nesting somewhere close by, is this likely one of theirs? Calling a wildlife rescue for them.

Yeah. It’s definitely a bird of prey and probably an owl. It’s only a couple days old. The nest is probably in a tree right there. Some old half dead tree with a broken off branch and a hollowed out trunk. It would probably be fine if you could find the nest and put it back.
