Hello everyone,

the latest edition of Birds in the News is available
for you to enjoy. The featured picture is a wonderful
image of an adult piping plover, courtesy of a birder,

I also have a lovely video that will impress the heck
out of you. It depicts 1.5 billion birds in flight,
and is set to the lovely sounds of Moby's composition,
"Rushing";

I am curious to know if the first shot in that video
really depicts only 50,000 birds in flight .. it
certainly appears to me that there are more than that,
but I never was very good at estimating numbers of
birds in flight!
