    I live in Massachusetts and are blessed with the sounds of Ray Brown. Al Batt is the Midwest version of Ray. Funny, and relevant when it comes to birds and birding! Great show.

Birding With Batt 04-28-26
Q: What is the difference between doves and pigeons, as asked by Jennifer, Lily, Duncan, and Derek?
Shelley explains that doves and pigeons refer to different species with the general distinction being that pigeons are often larger and stockier (like rock pigeons), while doves are typically smaller and lighter colored; Eurasian Collared Doves and Morning Doves are given as examples to illustrate the difference.
Birding With Batt 02-17-26
Q: From Jennifer, Lily, Duncan, and Derek: do turtles shed their skin, and how does that relate to their shells? What about baby turtles and winter behavior?
Turtles shed skin in small pieces as they grow, with shedding more frequent in younger individuals; they go through brumation in winter, staying inactive at the bottom of water bodies or in soil, and baby turtles are typically called hatchlings. Raptors and other wildlife considerations were also discussed in relation to habitat and seasonal changes.
Birding With Batt 03-31-26
Q: Are whiskers just like thick hair, or are they something else? And are they truly a sensory organ of some sort?
Whiskers are tactile hairs that act as highly sensitive sensors for detecting air currents and textures, helping with navigation and spatial awareness; they are deeply anchored in follicles with nerve connections, not just normal fur.
Birding With Batt 02-24-26
Q: And we are joined on the phone by Al Batt. Are you there, Al?
I am, Jim.
Birding With Batt 03-24-26
Q: What might explain a rabbit staying in a hole all day in a yard?
The rabbit likely feels safe and comfortable in the hole, using it as a daytime refuge from predators and disturbances, a common behavior for nesting or resting young rabbits, though if it were a sick or injured rabbit the risk would be higher.
