Just me?

I have heard anecdotally of Northern Flickers and Black-billed Cuckoos, but my only personal observation is of a bold jumping spider! Have you seen any birds or other predators preying on spotted lanternflies? This is one of the instar phases, later they turn red before finally becoming adults.

New podcast episode!

There are bird species that are extant and those that are extinct, but between those two seemingly immutable categories lies one hundred odd species of birds that are considered “lost." This means that they hasn’t been documented in many years but have not yet been determined to be extinct by authorities for any number of reasons. It is the search for those birds that is the work of John Mittermeier, Director of the Search for Lost Birds, an effort from the American Bird Conservancy, BirdLife International ReWild, and Cornell Lab, to seek out those birds and determine not only whether they’re not extinct, but what needs to be done to keep them that way.
