Hello Tweeties,

the most recent issue of Birds in the News is now available for you to enjoy. This issue features an image of a young male blue-throated hummingbird, courtesy of talented photographer and BIRDCHAT listowner, Dave Rintoul. BITN also has a lot of international stories about birds, and quite a few are about birds in the sciences;

I also wanted to draw your attention to several of the many beautiful images by Joseph Kennedy, another talented photographer, that I am featuring in my image of the day series. These are pictures of baby shorebirds: here's a black-necked stilt;

and a killdeer;

And there are more chickies to come.

If you are having a bad day (or a bad week), these images are guaranteed to cheer you up! Enjoy!
