Picking up where we left off yesterday, here are some of the birds in the display case about birdsong.
This panel beside the case explains how birds make sounds.
Nearby, a video screen shows birds in action.
Other cases look at bird behaviours such as nesting or preening.
i noticed there was some French words in some of those displays, been a long time since I tried to learn that at school.
ReplyDeleteOn the video screen can you also hear how the birds sing?
ReplyDeleteNowadays I have learnt to recognize a few bird songs.
ReplyDeleteIt would be nice if we could plug in to hear some of the birds.
ReplyDeleteI need to learn more about birds...
ReplyDeleteI can recognize some of the few birds that frequent my garden.
ReplyDelete...I wish that I knew the songs of the birds.
ReplyDeleteAm fortunate to wake up to some bird song!
ReplyDeleteI was thrilled to see 4 different species out my window this morning at dawn...a Red Bellied Woodpecker, a Carolina Wren, an American Robin and a Mourning Dove. What a charming collection!
ReplyDeleteI love to hear birdsong.
ReplyDelete@Amy: since French and English are our official languages, both are always present in these museums.
ReplyDelete@Ella: I believe so.
@Italiafinlandia: I can too.
@Jan: I didn't think of videos.
@Catarina: me too.
@Nancy: all I have around are pigeons.
@Tom: some people are quite expert at it.
@Magiceye: they're quiet in the mornings this time of year.
@Barbara: lucky!
@DJan: me too.
Glad you are inside staying warm ~ great post and photos

The many birds that come into my garden every day are amazing to listen to, except when they start demanding food 😊 I've enjoyed the bird posts very much William ✨ Happy weekend.
ReplyDeletei love listening to birds especially when I'm walking at the garden. I've gotten good at recognizing a few of them.
ReplyDelete@Carol: it is cold outside today.
ReplyDelete@Red: I think so.
@Marleen: it is.
@MB: thank you.
@Grace: birds can be demanding!
@Sharon: good!
What a great variety of birds !
ReplyDeleteInteresting to see dabblers and divers side by side.
ReplyDeleteThis page is ideal for my cat Rosie ! She loves birds ... in her way !
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful variety of birds.
ReplyDeleteIt would be interesting to hear the different songs. I wonder if they do that.
ReplyDeleteWhen we sing it's a chorus. When birds sing its a symphony!
ReplyDeleteThat would be a wonderful place to visit!
ReplyDelete@Karl: there is.
ReplyDelete@Marie: I think so.
@Gattina: hah!
@Bill: that is true.
@Jeanie: right now some of the interactive features are not available as Covid is ongoing.
@Cloudia: that's definitely the case.
@RedPat: it is.
been noticing that eagles and hawks are around, i have not seen a squirrel in a long long long time?? i think ...what will happen next? curious. ( ;
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteThat sixth image looks like a junco. We have lots of those downtown. They seem to enjoy the live oaks there.
ReplyDeleteWe notice them in winter.
DeleteNothing quite like birdsong. Love the new header photo too.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteInteresting note about 'how birds sing'.
ReplyDeleteAnd so they do.
DeleteI like the way the birds are used to explain their different behaviours. I've worked in two museums that had 19th century bird collections which were in large cases without any explanation:)
ReplyDeleteIt helps to have explanations.
