The Bird Banter Podcast #76: 5 Common Birds Supplemental Info

On this episode I talk about 5 species of birds that can be found in many if not most parts of the United States, that most people in the U.S., birder or non-birder will be familiar with, and try to share information about these species that will be of interest to not just birders but their families, friends and others who wonder what’s with these birders anyway. Enjoy, and feel free to share with your less-avid birding friends.

Here are some photos of the 5 species discussed:

Canada Goose with Goslings.

|Male and Female Mallards. Note the slightly upcurved central tail feathers on the male, and the mostly orange bill with some central blackish areas on the female.
