I was in Alaska in July and I heard the most beautiful chorus of birds late in the evening, and it went on for hours. It was a sad sort of cooing sound. Nobody could tell me what sort of birds they were. Does anybody have any idea what it could be? Thank you.

damn that's good. Very convincing camera and chainsaw noises. xD I'd be fooled if it learned to say "hey, over here" I bet.

Birds can see a huge number of colours that humans can't see, and use this for most foraging. My guess is that whatever material the clear seeder was made of gave off a particuarly attractive light, or perhaps made the food on the feeder look more attractive

Hey, I have a question about birds. I'm doing a science project for school which tests The Effect of Bird feeder color on Birdseed Consumed. I used primary colors and measured the amount of birdseed consumed by measuring the absence of birdseed in the tube in centimeters. My results Clear was best, Then Blue, Red, and Yellow. All results are significant (Use Kai-Square). Clear having a total of 173 cm of birdseed consumed, Blue 144, Red 91, Yellow 42. Can anyone guess why this is? (I live in PA)
