Two birding Web sites worth a look
Posted on April 2nd, 2009 – 9:49 PMBy Jim Williams
I’ve mentioned this before: the Web site of grrlscientist is worth a regular visit. Devorah Bennu, of Brooklyn, N.Y., offers a consistently interesting collection of photos and text about birds. The address is http://scienceblogs.com/grrlscientist/. This week, check out the Spoon-billed Sandpiper, and read the article about Gouldian Finches and how the females of that bird species can determine the sex of their offspring. She posts new material each week. Her Web address is listed at the right on this page. On the Web site of the National Wildlife Refuge Association (www.refugenet.org/birding/birding5.html) you can find an archive of its regular Birding Community E-bulletin, also consistently interesting and worth a look.
