Bird feeding done right can be a great help to your backyard birds. Done wrong, bird feeding may expose birds to new threats. Show your birds you care by adopting some simple changes to keep them safe.

I am often asked which bird I like best, but I love them all and find it difficult to pick a single favorite.

My son Eddie and I got up early one morning this week to see a rare bird that was reported a few hours to the north: the Harlequin Duck.

Northern Cardinals are one of our most beloved backyard birds. They're known by many nicknames, including red-bird and Virginia Nightingale.

Winter is the best time of year to see American Tree Sparrows in Pennsylvania. I came across a flock of over 60 last week in some weedy fields north of Pittsburgh.

I photographed the Downy Woodpecker in the photo above in the white oak in my backyard on New Year's Day. From that picture, someone unfamiliar with Downy Woodpeckers might think they're mostly black.
