Hello, Birders. There's a good article in yesterday's Daily Camera (Boulder newspaper) on listening to night birds and watching the Perseids. Kudos to writer Joe Prentice for getting everything right! I know we birders often lament, inaccurate ornithological reporting in the "mainstream" (non-birding) media, but Joe did a great job in my opinion. His article touches on all of the following: * Nocturnal flight calls of Yellow Warbler, Chipping Sparrow, and Lark Sparrow * Sex differences in the vocalizations of Mallards and Great Horned Owls * Night-singing in local resident (not migrating) Barn Swallows * Migratory sleeplessness in Swainson's Thrush and White-crowned Sparrow * Effects of weather on the detectability of nocturnal flight calls * Facultative molt-migration by passerines in the Interior West (!)
