    Two nests...no ID

    Can anyone help me identify the birds nest and the other thing off to the side? It looks either fungal or maybe an insect nest of somekind. Found in a falling down old house in Powell County, KY.

    Robins in trouble?

    I'm disturbed by a trend I've noticed in the last few weeks. A robin built a nest and laid eggs in one of our trees, but I found the nest on the ground with broken egg shells by it. Then I found a dead baby robin during one of our walks through the neighborhood. My sister, in Southern...

    Michigan spider ID

    Found this near my roses. Shook some aphids into his or her web, but she was working on a juicy morsel she caught all by herself. No knowledge whatsoever about spiders. Any thoughts?

    Frog Question

    From what I can tell from my books, I think these guys are Green Frogs. The little one on the bottom is new to me...just showed up today, but the larger one on the top has been around for a few weeks (that I've noticed). I've read that they will hibernate in deep water. I live in Western...

    American Toad Behavior

    I've got the cutest little toad hanging out in my yard. I've read up on amphibians, but haven't seen my questions answered yet. So I'm hoping for a response here. How territorial are American Toads? Do they engage in protective behavior to keep other toads out? Do they return to an area...

    Hummer Behavior

    A male hummer was perched on my feeder and having a drink. Then he twisted his neck up and around and bopped his whole body as if he heard some internal music. Then he'd drink again, and repeat. It was cooler yesterday, around 70ish. I wondered if he was doing this to warm himself? I've...

    What are you seeing now?

    It's the middle of May and I've seen brown thrashers, a Baltimore Oriole, cardinals, sparrows, mourning doves, redwing blackbirds, common grackles, crows, house finches, goldfinches, chickadees, robins, and a wild turkey. Has anyone seen any hummers yet?

    New pond/bird bath

    I wimped out and had a professional put my pond in....my excuse is very heavy clay soil/ignorance/laziness..pick one. Anyway, the birds seem to like it. Too late in the season to put plants in, but I was wondering if toads might use it to hibernate or breed in. I've got at least 2 and maybe...

    Avoiding toads

    I've got toads that burrow under the mulch. Don't know much about toads, but I know that I don't want to hurt them. It's about time to turn the mulch and I don't want to accidentally spear one of the toads. Does anyone know anything about these toads and their cycles/rhythms? When might be...

    A little help, please?

    My dog found a baby bird on our walk two weeks ago. I searched for the nest, couldn't find it, bird was shivering and looked newly hatched (ie no feathers). Brought it home, put it in a bowl with tissues on a heating pad and started feeding it a mixture of canned cat food and Exact with warm...

    Hi from Michigan

    Hi, just joined the group and thought I'd introduce myself before launching into my problem. I'm a relatively new bird watcher. Nothing exotic or anything, just enjoy watching the neighborhood birds. Currently feed them and offer water in the summer months, but will be building a year round...
