On a new episode of OutBirding, Doug Gochfeld and friends head high into the Himalaya of northern India for a special natural history adventure. This time, Doug and the team are hot on the trail of one of the world's most beguiling big cats - the Snow Leopard. In recent years, local efforts in Ladakh, India have made it possible for visitors to have a chance to see Snow Leopards in their remote mountain homes. Success is by no means guaranteed, but with persistence and teamwork, Doug offers us a special glimpse into the lives of these remarkable cats and the people who seek them out.

New episode launching March 11th:

In this episode of OutBirding, we journey to Uganda, the Pearl of Africa. Doug Gochfeld takes us along for an exploration of some of the many wildlife highlights the country has to offer. We travel from the shores of Lake Victoria in pursuit of the legendary Shoebill, to the wildlife bonanza of Lake Mburo (including the reclusive African Finfoot), and eventually to dense mountain forests in search of Mountain Gorillas. These would be amazing enough on their own, but they're backed up by a supporting cast of hippos, giraffes, zebras, crocodiles, and lots of birds along the way.

Enjoy a first look at our new episode of OutBirding by watching the episode trailer.

Our new episodes of OutBirding are now available to subscribers - Myiarchus Flycatchers of the US - Parts I & II

Chris Benesh presents a two-part series introducing us to the species of crested flycatchers in the genus Myiarchus. These flycatchers can be very challenging to differentiate in the field, but Chris lays out the ID issues surrounding the US Myiarchus species in a straightforward way that should help you see and hear these birds more clearly. Part One includes an overview of identification issues and an investigation of certain calls that can be confused with Nutting's Flycatcher. Part Two details species-level ID for each of the six Myiarchus found in the US (4 regular species and 2 rare ones, Nutting's Flycatcher and La Sagra's Flycatcher).
