Dear ##firstname[Friend]##,

Danielle Calkins, Assistant Editor

Where can you go to see more than 20 gorgeous warblers this spring? The Biggest Week in American Birding! Last year we went as a staff, and can’t wait to attend again this May. We hope that you join us!

The 10-day festival takes place May 4-13, and is a great way to connect with fellow birders to take your hobby to the next level! The event is perfect for every age group and skill—no need to be an expert—there will always be someone around to help answer your bird ID questions. Sign up now.

From the Expert

George Harrison, Birding Expert

Can birds smell?
—Ray Gunderson, Minong, Wisconsin

George: All birds have olfactory organs, but only sea birds and vultures have a developed sense of smell, which allows them to locate food by scent. Most birds have an undeveloped sense of smell and locate their food by sight.
