birds

Bird watchers and outdoor enthusiasts are excited! You'll love the newest completed portion of the New York State Birding Trail.

The U.S. first case of a human being contracting avian flu, H5N1, was reported in the state of Colorado in April 2022.

I know plenty of you have been going to the store recently to get bird feed for your outdoor feeders. It is that time of year, after all.

If you leave out hair, string, or pet fur each spring to help your local birds build their nest, you need to stop because you could be killing them.

Feeding the birds is one of those simple pleasures in life. Tossing bread crumbs, watching the flock scramble to get a bite is actually doing more harm than good. Bread is bad for birds. Really bad.

Ick. Tent worms have invaded Verona Beach. They are squirming and wiggling around on everything in sight, including sidewalks, cars, floating on the water, and unfortunately eating their way through the vegetation.

Baltimore orioles, perhaps the most colorful type of oriole, love oranges and many types of jelly.

Animals can...and do communicate with us, right?

Imagine finding a live bird in your real Christmas tree days after you decorated it. A family found an owl in their tree and it seemed to enjoy being there.

There's something alive in the rafters at the radio station, and it's driving us crazy, so what do we do?

It's easy to chalk weird experiences up to coincidence. But sometimes you have to ask if there's another explanation. Did I get a visit from my late grandma?

A unique animal encounter at the Utica Zoo is just a brief example of the appeal of a Central New York institution.
