If you're participating in a Christmas Bird Count this year, thank ornithologist Frank Chapman! In 1900, Chapman established the tradition in hopes it would counteract the then-common practice of trying to hunt as many birds as possible on Christmas Day. Chapman worked at the Museum for more than 50 years, from 1888 to 1942. Among his achievements was popularizing birdwatching and bird identification among the general public. 🐦 Photo: Dave Doe, CC BY 2.0, flickr #christmasbirdcount #christmas2021 #holidayseason #birds #birding #naturalhistory #cardinal https://www.instagram.com/amnh/p/CX6kThILA2i/?utm_medium=tumblr

Winter is an excellent time to watch for America’s national symbol, soaring over head or perched majestically in the trees. Photographer Jake Ryan explains spotting this one on a quiet snowy day, "I was watching this eagle fish all day on Lake Coeur d’Alene in northern Idaho. It would swoop down and grab the Kokanee salmon and fly back up into the tree to eat. It landed on the perfect branch and after dropping the fish carcass, he was eyeing down his next catch.” How about you? Are you seeing our national bird out and about?  From November through February migrating bald eagles visit the Lake Coeur d' Alene area to feed on the spawning salmon. The Bureau of Land Management runs a yearly count and documents their impressive numbers. How about you? Have you spotted any bald eagles recently?

Today we spent the day doing the Sidney Christmas bird count. Unfortunately no sign of the Snowy Owl. I found a plastic owl on a rooftop but it was not the owl we were searching for. Here's a beautiful Song Sparrow instead. #christmasbirdcount #christmasbirdcount2021 #songsparrow #penguinswander https://www.instagram.com/p/CXuAhFQPes8/?utm_medium=tumblr

National Geographic Picture of the Day (from January 2017): WE HAVE LIFTOFF Along the Zambezi River in northern Namibia, a giant flock of southern carmine bee-eaters (Merops nubicoides) scatters into the air. According to Your Shot photographer Jason Boswell, these birds were taking off as a group of bird ringers attempted to ring a few hundred of them to gather more information on where they go when they leave these breeding grounds. Today is National Bird Day in the United States; the holiday coincides with the Christmas Bird Count, a citizen-led project to take stock of the health of the country’s birds. #nationalgeographic #pictureoftheday #yourshot #jasonboswell #zambesiriver #namibia #nationalbirdday #christmasbirdcount

Join us this evening with all your questions about the Christmas Bird Count! We are partnering with @audubonvermont to share our collective knowledge about the history of the CBC, how you can participate, and what birds you might see. This fantastic children’s book by #SusanEdwardsRichmond tells the story of a young girl’s Christmas Bird Count adventure. (We have copies of the book on our gift shop for the young birders in your life). #ChristmasBirdCount #ChildrensBooks #TakeAKidBirding #CBC #ChristmasBirdCount (at Birds of Vermont Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXRexMwPweb/?utm_medium=tumblr
