    Birding Maui

    Hello, I am fortunate enough to be spending 8 days in Maui in February. For half of the trip I will be spending it near Kihei so I will visit Kealia, but I was wondering if there are any birding/hiking suggestions near the west side of the island (Kanaapali or Kapalua)? Thank you, Jgrnot

    Birding Hong Kong

    Hello, I am fortunate enough to be weekending in Hong Kong at the end of the month, and I was surprised to learn that there are some nice wetlands near by. If anyone has been there, or has recommendations, I would love to hear them. Also, any sightings would be great too. Jgrnot

    Mealworms over the internet

    Hello Everyone, It is the time of year when I like to begin feeding and attracting bluebirds here in St. Louis, MO. With that said, I used Sunshinemealworms.com and they were great and competitive <$25 for 2,000. However, they appear to have a shortage. Is anyone aware of another good source...

    Eastern Bluebirds - Freezing Temperatures

    Terry, Thanks again. that is great news. However in the last couple of days, I haven't seen any of them, and there are scratches to the bottom of my box. I have a fear they were predated. I am hoping, as there were no feathers at the scene, that at least the adults got away. Regarding the...

    Bird Identification Help

    Hello Everyone, On my way to work, I drive by a farm with trees on all sides. I am in the West St. Louis County area, and saw a large (robin size, or a little smaller) bird on the edge of the tree. It was a dark brown and at the end of the tail, there was a white line, much like the yellow on a...
