The most blue heron nests I’ve ever seen in a tree! My mother sent me this from a random gas station they stopped at today in Tennessee.

At the end you can see the flying heron return to her nest and give a fish to the little one waiting.🩵

Birds Are Getting Hooked on Cigarettes Some species of birds are getting hooked on cigarettes, scientists have found — but not for the reason you might think.

...but not in the way we think. And no, the use of cigarette butts in nesting material doesn't mean we should smoke.

Here's the article our Debbie Blicher mentioned to Ray during his visit to the Talkin' Birds Science Corner on our latest show (#1,082 Mar. 22). This is the one about Zebra Finches succumbing -- or not succumbing -- to peer pressure when they choose the color for their nests.

Dead grass next? I wish you tuneful days! #blackbirds #nests
