[June 14, 2017] Which Species Will Hatch from This Egg?
The beautiful squiggled egg shown above is laid by an equally
beautiful bird with a pendulous nest. These birds are now raising
their young across the eastern and central United States and
Canada. Enjoy their rich whistled songs before the nestlings fledge
and they head to the tropics for the winter. Can you guess which
species this is? Check your answer and learn more.
Learn to recognize the eggs and nests of many North American
backyard birds with the new Nests and Eggs foldout guide from the
Cornell Lab Publishing Group.
The Cornell Lab of Ornithology is a world leader in the study, appreciation, and conservation of birds. Their hallmarks are scientific excellence and technological innovation to advance the understanding of nature and to engage people of all ages in learning about birds and protecting the planet. Founded in 1915, the Cornell Lab is a nonprofit organization whose vibrant community includes 400,000 citizen-science participants from all walks of life and 14 million bird enthusiasts of all ages who connect online at All About Birds. With 650+ titles in print and 6.5 million copies sold, Waterford Press publishes the largest line of folding-format reference guides in the industry. Our mission is to connect people to the natural world by making knowledge about wildlife identification, outdoor recreation, travel, and safety and survival skills accessible to a wide audience. Dr. Emma Greig is the team leader for the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's Project FeederWatch, a major citizen-science program that engages bird watchers in a winter-long survey of birds that visit feeders at backyards, nature centers, community areas, and other locales in North America. FeederWatch data help scientists track broadscale movements of winter bird populations and long-term trends in bird distribution and abundance. Emma holds a Ph.D. from the University of Chicago and has studied birds in Australia, Malaysia, and most recently, the Sonoran Desert, the hottest desert of North America.
[May 27, 2017] The Cornell Lab of Ornithology has introduced their
All About Birds Pocket Guide Series, including 15 new titles, all
published by Waterford press and the Cornell Group.
The series is designed for regions, including such titles as Feeder
Birds of the Midwest.
These are not books but folding pocket guides that are easy to use,
carry in a pocket, fold open at a moment?s notice and are quite
weather-proof.
The feeder birds guide has 40 colored bird illustrations and lists
the food types most preferred by each species. Orioles come to
platform nectar feeders, for example, and so do ruby-throated
hummingbirds.

[May 31, 2017] The Cornell Lab of Ornithology published a useful
series of All About Birds pocket guides in May. It was developed to
inspire and support beginning birdwatchers. Each of the 13 folding
pocket guides keys in on a particular aspect of birding such as
Backyard Birds of Eastern and Central North America, Birding 101,
and Right Bird, Right House. Some guides relate to other parts of
the continent but many of them are useful to us. They can just slip
into your pocket and I like the fact they are weather
resistant.
*The London Free Press*
[May 12, 2017] There?s a new 15-guide series to help beginning
birders available from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. Complete
with detailed species information, photos, illustrations and maps,
the titles cover a wide range of topics including Birding 101 and
Gardening for Birds.
Watching and feeding birds is one of the fastest growing hobbies in
North America. Experts at the Cornell Lab are hoping that the
guides not only help beginners learn about birds but encourage them
to do what they can to protect and enhance bird habitat.

senior director of Communications at the Cornell Lab of
Ornithology. ?These guides get to the heart of those questions by

[June 20, 2017] We all have indelible memories of positive
first-time experiences. If you are enamored of the natural world,
there?s a good possibility that some of yours are connected with
your early use of field guides. Looking over The Cornell Lab of
Ornithology?s All About Birds Pocket Guide Series (recently
released and published in collaboration with Waterford Press and
the Cornell Lab Publishing Group), memories arose of my childhood
and adolescent engagement with field guides. Field guides
supercharged my interest in nature and the awe that I have for it.
They increased my knowledge about animals I saw or hoped to
observe.

[May 15, 2017] The last thing you want to carry on a hike is a
heavy bird book. Save the weight for trail snacks.

titles published in collaboration with Waterford Press and the
Cornell Lab Publishing Group.
The pocket guides are light, thin and easy to slip in a pocket or
pack. The guides offer detailed species information, photos,

As a birdwatcher and a duck hunter, I like the Dabbling and Diving

Others if you?re into sea kayaking and want to ID birds.
