🌺 Spring is in full swing in southwest Florida, where the @SarasotaAudubonSociety installed a donated #Haikubox. If you need a dose of sunshine and birdsong, listen to some of their Haikubox recordings (tinyurl.com/4czkbyky) or plan a visit to the @CeleryFields, a #BirdingHotspot. 🦜

Our big goal is to improve nature conservation and environmental literacy, so we've donated 50+ Haikuboxes to nature centers & schools. 🏫 Generous customers also have donated Haikuboxes to their favorite groups. We love seeing their birds!

Spring migration starts now! 🌺 πŸͺΆ BirdCast is a great way to see which bird species may stop in your yard on their way north. #Haikubox owners also get new bird alerts, so they know when new birds arrive.

Some birds like waders can bend their beaks to find, manipulate and consume buried prey. Hummingbirds do it too, to catch insects in mid-air and access nectar. 🐞 🌺

πŸ¦‰ Owls are dangerous predators and smaller birds' nestlings are not safe with one around. Some birds recruit a team of defenders to scare off predators with aggressive vocal and physical pestering, a behavior called mobbing.

Great Horned Owls πŸ¦‰ are early nesters, giving their offspring more time to become proficient hunters before next winter. ❄️ Read our blog about how their pellets are being used by scientists.

Using sound to see... Watch Black-and-white Warblers migrate north in spring and south in fall in this video created with 2025 #bioacoustic data from Haikuboxes. When a Haikubox identifies a bird using sound, the data can plug into community science.

We used 80,000 data points from Haikuboxes across N.America to show their 2025 migration and vocalization pattern. Look for the burst of singing & calling from late April -mid-May.
