By Mike • May 5, 2009 • 3 comments

The May 2009 installment of Birdwatch Radio is now available with a tasty, thematic Salute to Spring Migration. Steve Moor, the brains and voice of Birdwatch Radio (no offense, Rich!) gathered twelve terrific guest commentaries. Well, at least most of them are terrific. Here’s the line-up:

John Fitzpatrick
Douglas Carlson
Peter Gordon
Julie Zickefoose
Dr. Bridget Stutchbury
Ray Brown
John Sill
Alan Pulley
Victor Emanuel
Miyoko Chu
John Riutta
Mike O’Connor
Clay Taylor
… and me

If you can get through my rambling reminiscence, you’ll find a most enjoyable show. Check it out!

I’m a big fan of the birdwatch radio. Steve does a great job of getting the most out of his guests. The only thing I haven’t figured out is how to automatically determine when he has a new podcast. I listened to the pocast about 10,000 birds on one episode and have to say that I’m impressed with all the work you guys put into your blog.

I hadn’t heard of birdwatch radio. Do they have a podcast through iTunes? (I’ll check tonight when I leave work.)

Thanks for the kind words Larry. If you visit the page at http://www.birdwatchradio.com you will see at the very top of the page links that allow you to subscribe through an RSS feed or by way of Itunes.
RSS alerts you when a new program has been posted and Itunes will automatically download it for you….assuming you have an Ipod.
Thanks to Mike for contributing to the podcast and for posting info about our existence. Please tell your friends!

Birds in the Mossad?

Last year, vigilant Saudi Arabian officials detained an Israeli spy vulture yet apparently failed to foil the “Zionist espionage plot.” How else to explain the highly suspicious European Bee-Eater Turkish authorities are currently investigating. Damning evidence includes an Israeli bird band and unusually large nostrils. Birders of the world: if you see something, say something. (Hat-tip to Suzie Gilbert!)

Too Many Nene?

Hawaii’s state bird, the endangered goose known as the Nene, has recovered from a population of a mere 30 birds in 1952 to over 2,000 today. The problem is that they seem to find the area around Lihue Airport irresistible so they have to be moved. Clearly there aren’t too many Nene but more habitat is needed.

BP Oil Spill Effecting Minnesota Birds

The spill that keeps on giving – now petroleum compounds and the chemicals used to clean up the oil from BP’s massive spill two years ago in the Gulf of Mexico are showing up in eggs of breeding birds in Minnesota.
