Whistle Down the Bird: Birds of Stamford (CT) and Their Calls - Patrick Dugan is an exceptional birder, having pursued this passion since childhood. But he doesn’t have to use high tech smartphone apps to attract birds. All Dugan has to do is put his lips together and blow. While working in a quiet basement workroom of the family picture framing business, he listened to bird tapes to break the monotony. With time and practice, he honed his whistling and birdsong-mimic skills to an art. Patrick’s talents were featured on NPR’s Living on Earth program in February 2010. Patrick has perfect pitch and has used his talent to identify bird calls when leading trips and when taking on the challenge of participating in the World Series of Birding in New Jersey.

Asian Birds West to East (and Back Again) - Dr. Robert DeCandido works as a consultant out of his home in New York City. For over a decade, he and Deborah Allen have made many visits to Asia, primarily to study bird migration. Tonight’s program will look at the birds in select locations including Eilat (Israel) and Thailand-Malaysia. Most of the photographs in tonight’s program were taken by Bob and Deborah and feature several hornbill species, many kingfisher species, bee-eaters, babblers, and raptors including owls and shrikes. In other words, if it flies through Asia, there should be a photo of it in tonight’s program.
