Bill Hilts, Jr.: Birding goes to new level with a Smart Bird Feeder

Blogs, Featured, Nature Page & Night Sky, New York, Opinion /

I love birds. As I’ve grown older, my fascination with them has increased exponentially.
I’ve noticed that more and more as I’ve fished places like the lower Niagara River in New York, globally recognized as an important bird area throughout the entire corridor. It’s also one heck of a year-round fishery, complementing the bird diversity that also seems to extend over four seasons.

Project aims for better data on Michigan’s turkeys

Featured, Home Page News, Hunting, Michigan, National Hunting, National News, News /

No fewer than 10 dozen female wild turkeys will be fitted with GPS transmitters as part of a “first of its kind” project aimed at helping Michigan DNR better understand the bird.
Movements and habitat choices will be closely monitored by a research team, and additional banding of more turkeys will help produce information badly needed by biologists in the state.

Blogs, Featured, Nature Page & Night Sky, Ohio, Opinion /

A recent swing through Amish country down by the Ohio River gave pause to admire the quiet evidence of forward-thinking land stewardship practiced by these “horse-and-buggy” communities.
The occasion for my visit was the “Amish Birding Symposium,” recently renamed the Adams County Birding Symposium.

Field notes from a mesmerizing spring waterfowl spectacle

Featured, Features, Home Page News, Hunting, Minnesota, National Hunting /

I went on my first spring goose hunt recently, and it made quite an impression.
I’ll share those impressions below, but I must start by breaking a rule of journalism. I cannot tell you where I went or with whom I hunted. I’m not the kind of hunter who guards honey holes, but my hosts are. And since I like them and want to be invited back, I’m going to respect their wishes and tell you only that had we been hunting 140 years ago, we would have been somewhere in the Dakota Territory.
