Birds of a Feather

How much wood would a wood duck duck? Birdpost invites you to record your encounters with feathered friends year-round.


You've heard of citizen journalism, in which average joes report on news that's important to them. Well, Birdpost hopes to be one of the leaders of a citizen science movement. Avid birdwatchers can join the site and post their latest sighting of a Phainopepla (aka Silky Flycatcher).

Other birders or even novices can search for types of birds and in some cases can get a Google map that shows the species' range.
