BIRD LANGUAGE Intro
Why is it that elusive animals like the fox, bobcat, and the owl can remain hidden and unseen, while living so close to us?There is a universal “alarm system” in nature that provides animals with early warning of danger – Bird Language.
Before we even step foot onto the trail, the birds are talking about us – their calls and postures alert other animals to our presence. To a trained ear, the birds also give away the location of hidden animals.
We can learn to decode this language. The calls, postures, and other behaviors of birds convey much information to those who understand their patterns. The attentive, trained observer can deduce through bird language the location of predators and other forces on the landscape.
“Birds talk to each other. We can understand it. And it’s fun!” -Joe Ellis, Audubon Board Member
