Learn how to identify species, notice their behaviours, and recognize songs and calls. Join Suzy for recorded bird outings, interviews with experts and enthusiasts, and stories from birders around the world. Suzy says: “Birding is a great pastime. It can be done with others or alone. You don't need expensive equipment, your eyes or ears are enough. And best of all, the Casual Birder can do as much or as little birding as suits them. It's perfect for fitting into our busy schedules.” Find Suzy on Twitter @CasualBirderPod</p> </div> <div class="modal-footer"> <button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button> </div> </div> </div> </div>  <div id="shareModal" class="modal" role="dialog"> <div class="modal-dialog">  <div class="modal-content"> <div class="modal-header"> <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal">×</button> <h4 class="modal-title">Share This Episode</h4> </div> <div class="modal-body"> <p id="pw-share"><div class="addthis_inline_share_toolbox"></div></p> </div> <div class="modal-footer"> <button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal">Cancel</button> </div> </div> </div> </div>  <div id="loginModal" class="modal" role="dialog"> <div class="modal-dialog">  <div class="modal-content"> <div class="modal-header"> <h4 class="modal-title"><i class="fa fa-lock fa-lg"></i> Private Premium Login</h4> </div> <div class="modal-body"> <p> <form class="form-signin" method="POST" action=""> <h5 class="form-signin-heading">Login</h5> <label for="inputEmail" class="sr-only">Email</label> <input type="email" id="inputEmail" name="email" class="form-control" placeholder="Email address" required autofocus> <label for="inputPassword" class="sr-only">Password</label> <input type="password" id="inputPassword" name="password" class="form-control" placeholder="Password" required> <p class="pull-right"><a href="'">Having trouble logging in?</a></p> <button name="Login for Premium Access" class="btn btn-lg btn-primary btn-block btn-widget-login" type="submit">Login <i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-right fa-lg pull-right"></i></button> </form> </p> </div> </div> </div> </div>  <div class="modal fade" id="imagemodal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myModalLabel" aria-hidden="true"> <div class="modal-dialog"> <div class="modal-content"> <div class="modal-header"> <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal"><span aria-hidden="true">×</span><span class="sr-only">Close</span></button> </div> <div class="modal-body" style="text-align:center;"> <img src="" id="imagepreview" style="width: auto; height: 300px;" > </div> <div class="modal-footer"> <button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button> </div> </div> </div> </div>  <footer> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-lg-12"> <p class="copyright small pull-right">© 2024.
