🪶 The answer to this week's #BitOBird quiz is....California Towhee! Congrats to our winner! Don't worry if you missed it this week, we'll post another quiz next Monday at 11am ET/10am CT/9am MT/8am PT.

🪶IBP has a new Acoustic Ecology project! We're partnering with the BLM in Utah & using Autonomous Recording Units (ARUs) to survey & compare bird communities in pinyon-juniper stands that were cut in different ways (lop and scatter, chaining, etc.) at different timepoints from the 1940s to today.

🪶A TUTI for your Tuesday! (The 4 letter code for Tufted Titmouse is TUTI.) A female Tufted Titmouse with a beak full of bark strips for her nest- photo by Wendy Miller. Tufted Titmice nest in natural cavities, unoccupied woodpecker nest holes, and nest boxes. Only females build the nest.
