You can spot them off the Pacific Coast, this one was seen in Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. Considered good luck by sailors, clumsy takeoffs and landings on nesting islands earned it the nickname, "gooney bird." Any guesses? (Photo: Robert Schwemmer/NOAA.

If animals could talk what would these two be saying to each other right now? 📷: @twhittakerphoto via @exclusive_wildlife #Wildlife #Hunting #Fox #TheHunt #Run #NameThatBird

Since 2013, researchers at NOAA's Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary have been using satellite technology to study the movements, life cycle, and feeding and foraging habits of great shearwater seabirds in the Gulf of Maine ecosystem. This year, birds will be fitted with the transmitters, and we needed help naming 14 of them! Tune in to The BlackAFinSTEM Collective's #BlackBirdersWeek2021 Facebook Live at 1 pm EDT to hear more about the tagging project and find out the new names for this year's great shearwaters. Follow along and stay connected all summer as we track the birds around the Atlantic! (Photo: David Wiley/NOAA.

To learn more, visit: https://stellwagen.noaa.gov/science/shearwater-tagging-project.html Tune in to BlackAFinSTEM's Facebook Live event to hear the winning names on June 5th at 1:00 p.m. EDT!

This is the last week of our 2022 art exhibit “Fine Feathers: at play with structure and function. The show is on display until October 31, and the museum is open Wednesdays through Sundays 10 - 4. This picture shows one of the two interactive pieces we had this year. “Identify Bird” by Richard Crocker was a big hit with a group of third graders at the museum just this morning! Only a small piece of the bird’s feathers are showing, and it is up to the observer to figure out each bird is which in the collage. There are cards of the whole birds next to the piece to aid in the identification. How many can you identify? #FeatherArt #VermontArtist #vermontArt # photograph #VermontArtist #NameThatBird #BirdQuiz (at Birds of Vermont Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkOOGM5uyKs/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Birds are migrating through our area. ID can be tricky this time of year. In addition to females and males in fall plumage, young birds are migrating too. Can you name the four species shown here? We will post the answers in the comments tomorrow. To see how many birds are coming through your area check out Birdcast (https://birdcast.info/migration-tools/live-migration-maps/).
