Welcome to 🦜 The Flyer 🦜 by Flying Colors
Every other Friday, we share original content written by the Flying Colors team, fascinating stories & tidbits from the world of birding, curated products, epic bird photos, and more.
Tis the season of the Nutcracker—the bird kind, that is. The Clark’s Nutcracker, a member of the Crow and Jay families, lives in the mountains of the West, flashing its white tail among the trees.
These gray-and-black birds do indeed love nuts and seeds; they can bury tens of thousands of pine seeds in fall to get them through the winter (seeds they leave behind are important for forest regrowth), and they pry open pine cones with their bills to extract seeds within. They also choose seeds by color, and prefer dark brown ones.
Fun fact: Male Nutcrackers incubate the mating pair’s speckled, pale green eggs while the female retrieves hidden seeds (the locations of which she remembers well) to feed them.
🧭 Watch The Sandhill Crane fall migration Tens of thousands of Sandhill Cranes are moving through the Midwest through the end of the year toward warmer climates in Florida. Catch them while you can!
❄️ Travel The quiet thrill of winter wildlife viewing The benefits of winter birding in Aspen, Colorado include one more way to spot birds: by following their tracks in the snow.
🦜 Learn Birding as a blind person is now easier in Colombia Six trails in the western Andes were designed with accessible paths and offer tours with trained guides as well as audio guides, giving people with disabilities autonomy over their birding experiences.
