Birds everyone should know. Why do bluebirds hate me? ; Woodpeckers do take baths ; Hip catbirds ; What's with all the grackles? ; Why hummingbirds hum ; Carolina wrens singin' in the fall ; Titmice love peanuts but hate water ; No-bird syndrome ; Birds can't afford bottled water ; Not all cardinals are Catholic

It's time to look past the feathers. Don't call me "pretty boy" ; Swans support integration ; Sandhill cranes migrate (mostly) ; Quail chicks have two dads ; They're called snowy owls for a reason ; Doves can whistle without moving their lips ; Cattle egrets fit right in ; Fearless red-breasted nuthatches ; Chickens get no respect ; Don't be a bird bigot

A few things even you can do. The cost of running a heated birdbath ; Clean your birdhouses! ; Sugar water brings more than just hummingbirds ; Bluebird housing ; Tree swallows, the bluebird alternative ; Homeless baby ospreys ; Vintage birdseed is not the best ; Orioles like it sweet, perhaps too sweet ; Oh, rats! ; Rotating seed

There's more to life than the backyard. Pyrrhuloxia is a real bird (not a strange disease) ; Avocets, the birds to see when you can't go shopping ; Spoonbills don't eat soup or chowder ; Kookaburras always get the joke ; Lapland longspurs, more fun than going to the dentist ; Caracara, the Mexican eagle ; Not all flycatchers are dull ; Nënë, not easy to say and impossible to type

Bet you didn't know birds did this. All hatched out and ready to go ; Some birds fly in the dark better than owls ; Paint-eating jays ; Bee-eating birds ; Puffins aren't that fussy ; Kissing cardinals ; Hummingbirds

they're on everyone's menu ; Vinyl-eating vultures

Don't forget cities have birds, too. Big-city lifestyle suits peregrine falcons just fine ; Birding in Central Park ; The legend of Pale Male ; City turkey ; City bird assortment

Being free as a bird isn't always that great. Birds and power lines

sometimes it works, sometimes not so much ; Battling hurricanes ; Birds care about which coffee you drink ; Pesticides aren't as healthy as they sound ; The disappearing song of the wood thrush ; We'll see your sparrow and raise you a squirrel ; Birds and planes

and you think YOU have trouble with the airlines ; The loss of the Carolina parakeet

Birds are superstars

and publishers and Hollywood know it. Bond, James Bond, ornithologist ; African eagles can't compare to ours ; That quail, Robert ; Turkeys don't come in flocks ; A good movie no one saw

A bird buffet. An you think YOUR feet are cold ; The twelve days of Christmas explained, finally ; How could anyone be afraid of a chickadee? ; Even scary places have birds ; Red squirrels, the overlooked annoyance ; Stick with who you know ; Scary owls ; Don't give kids "bird stuff" ; Turkeys rule, eagles drool ; Start the year with a bird list

instead of a hangover.
