  • Kinglets episode

    Just listened to your Kinglet’s episode from back in March. Great, timely episode for us getting out there this spring for some peak birding activity. Your expert was very helpful with the identifying features and I look forward to being able to better identify these little nuggets from now on.

  • Great show about us!

    Great show about what’s going on in our own backyards, literally! 🇨🇦 Wondering if maybe you guys could take the interviews outside, maybe like taking us along for a chat while on a walk? I think it the sound of the great Canadian outdoors (or fireplace cabin sounds in winter) could make a great addition to the bird convos! Thanks again for the great podcast! ✌️

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Wake-up Call: Louisiana Waterthrush and Acadian Flycatcher
Q: Do you have a favorite moment from the field with this bird?
The most memorable moments come from that first song or chip note of the season, when you realize the birds are back, paired up, and defending territories—it's a vivid sign of spring and a glimpse of successful breeding ahead.
The Secrets of Bird Nests with Mark Peck
Q: First, which species in Canada lays the most eggs versus the least eggs?
Waterfowl can lay many eggs, while some shorebirds and passerines like kinglets may lay relatively few; overall strategies vary, with some species laying only two eggs and others, like kinglets, laying many to offset high predation or short lifespans.
Birds and Cats
Q: Jonathan, what did your study find about how many birds are killed by cats in Canada each year?
The study found that cats kill around 60 million birds per year, a figure derived from updated data on outdoor cat populations and standardized methods, though the exact impact on population declines remains uncertain.
Do birds have feelings? Experts answer your questions
Q: What does snowbuntings like to eat the most?
Snowbuntings primarily eat seeds, especially in weedy fields during winter, while they are omnivores in their breeding habitats.
Do birds have feelings? Experts answer your questions
