    How can I attract a Pileated Woodpecker to my Suet feeder? I live south of Kansas City.?
    Question:
    I would love to see this bird, and possibly photograph it. How the heck can I find one? When I do a search on the internet, people have photos of them in thier backyard! This is the coolest bird ever!

    Answer:
    It's like "love at first sight." We have them too. They have yet to land on our feeders. Now that would be a thrill. They live in wooded areas. If you don't live in a wooded area, chances are you won't see any. There's always the exception to the rule. If you're not in the right area, call the Forestry Department in your area and ask them for some info as to where the nearest area to you, would be a likely place to possibly see them. Bird Guide books will give you the pictures, descriptions, habitat areas. If you don't want to purchase a paper back, then go to the library and get all info you're looking for. Good Luck

    Ever been to the American Jazz Museum in Kansas City?
    Question:
    This wonderful place is adjacent to the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum -- and just down 18th Street from legendary barbeque joint Arthur Bryant's. There are lots of things to look at, including videos and a perpetually running film loop in a theater with interviews with jazz luminaries like Max Roach, Shirley Horn and Jay McShann. But, WOW, the museum's most remarkable thing is that it actually centers around THE MUSIC. There's music in the hallways, at personal listening stations where you can read about the musicians and tunes while looking at the memorabilia. Bird's Massey Hall white plastic alto is there (allegedly KC Mayor, now congressman, Emmanuel Cleaver outbid Clint Eastwood for the item), a gorgeous ball gown owned by Ella Fitzgerald, show posters, union cards, old records and some of the most amazing photographs this jazz afficianado has ever seen. If you haven't gone to Kansas City to this place and you claim to love jazz, why not?

    Answer:
    I went there & wasn't too impressed actually. I am a fan of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum though.

    How can i make sure my bird survives in the wild???
    Question:
    Well i live in kansas city, and yesterday there was a tornado going on during the night. Mad dad works during the night so he found the bird, since it must of fell from his nest cuz of all the wind and stuff. He doesnt know how to eat by himself yet or fly. So i'm worried that if i take care of him and let him go when he get's better and knows how to fly, he won't know how to search for food and will ended up dieying. What can i do to make sure he survies on his own when i let him go. Oh yeah and i can't keep it because my cat will end up eating it, he ate my hamster yesterday, that basterd!!! This is what he looks like in case u guys are wondering...http://s295.photobucket.com/albums/mm152/jazmin__mart in/?action=view¤t=Brownpigen.jpg

    Answer:
    Take it to a wild life centre. Or a vet clinic. Or a wild life sanctuary. Something! It won't survive on its own now that it has the scent of human on it, other bird will pick on it. I wish you and the bird luck, try finding the nearest place where he will be looked after by professionals.

    Does anyone know what happen to the blue jays this year? ?
    Question:
    We are dedicated bird watchers and we usually see lots of blue jays but we have seen zero this year. We live in the Kansas City, Missouri area.

    Answer:
    West Nile Virus has hurt blue jay populations somewhat, but they are doing better than most field/meadow species which are in STEEP decline. Summary of NY Times article below, mention of jays at the end. I've also noticed a decline in scrub and stellar jays this year (N California) ===== Meadow Birds in Precipitous Decline, Audubon Says By FELICITY BARRINGER Published: June 15, 2007 Spreading suburbs and large-scale farming are contributing to a precipitous decline in once common meadow birds like the Northern bobwhite, the Eastern meadowlark, the loggerhead shrike and the field sparrow, a report released yesterday by the Audubon Society said. Twenty common birds have lost more than half their populations in 40 years. The population of the bobwhite, a rotund robin-size bird that lives in meadows from the mid-Atlantic to the Plains, has dropped more than 80 percent, to 5.5 million from more than 31 million. The evening grosbeak, with a range from northern New England to the Pacific Northwest, has declined 78 percent, to 3.8 million from 17 million. The report covers a period when suburbs and exurbs were being carved out of Eastern and Midwestern farmlands and Southern wetlands. It also documents the loss of large numbers of Canadian and Arctic birds like the mallard-like greater scaup, the Northern pintail and the common tern, all affected by a combination of climate change and development along lakes and rivers. While the report, published in Audubon magazine has a national focus, it also gives state-by-state snapshots of declines in birds in 48 states where enough information is available. “The song of Eastern meadowlarks used to be the soundtrack of summer,” said Scott Weidensaul, a naturalist and author born in eastern Pennsylvania who has reviewed the report. “Now it’s a rare thing. The landscape is changing. Farming is much more industrialized. Development is sprawling across these valleys.” Although the declines since 1967 are steep, the overall populations of the meadow birds still number in the millions, or in the case of the scaup 300,000, making them too robust to qualify for protection under the Endangered Species Act. The new analysis is the first of three reports. The next will look at birds that may need federal protection. The final installment will track the effects of climate change. The changing bird demographics largely parallel the changes in the North American landscape wrought by people. In the Northeast, the reversion of fields to forests has hurt some field-dwelling species, and some forest-dwelling species have been hurt by the loss of woodland shrubs overbrowsed by deer. The most common backyard birds like robins, cardinals and blue jays are thriving, though blue jay numbers have been cut somewhat by West Nile virus, said Greg Butcher, the author of the Audubon report. The birds that have done best —perhaps too well, in the case of nonmigratory Canada geese — are those most at home in the world of manicured lawns and artificial lakes. The report coincides with Congressional deliberation of measures like the farm bill, which includes some provisions to set aside agricultural land in conservation reserve programs. Those provisions are under pressure because of the demand for expanded land for corn crops to fuel the ethanol boom. The report is based on a statistical analysis of two long-range bird censuses, one by the United States Geological Survey and one by Audubon. Both surveys cover 300 species, said Mr. Butcher, the director of bird conservation at Audubon and a former director of bird population studies at the Cornell Ornithology Laboratory. About 550 are covered by one or the other.
