And no bird has been so often evoked and emulated in song and symphony =
as the cuckoo. If you were to pinpoint the height of bird activity on =

around Leavenworth, during the latter part of May. Avian flu usually =
infects only certain types of birds: chickens, ducks, geese, gulls, and =
shorebirds like sandpipers and plovers.
The Ivory-billed Woodpecker. As the buffalo wandered the prairies, they =

They may never know the names and songs of the birds they see or =

wane, many baby birds leave the nest.
It migrates south for the winter and returns each spring to an ever more =
uncertain fate in Washington. Western Washington sits mid-way along the =
Pacific Coast flyway.
You'll find excellent birdwatching and an impressive array of =
bird-related activities. The beauty of bird song will abide as long as =
the natural world abides.

a rapid beating of the wings, is a vivid example of a non-vocal or =
