Mike O'Connor, owner of Bird Watcher's General Store, wrote the
popular article, Ask the Bird Folks, for The Cape Codder newspaper every week for over 25 years. His goal, to answer some of life's most challenging questions. You know, bird questions.
Now, Mike is all written out. No more weekly articles in the newspaper, but they are all here. And if you live on Cape Cod or visit, come to our store and feel free to ask Mike your questions in person. You can see how much he really knows. How great is that.
Read through the most recent and past articles below, consisting of questions asked by readers and real people like you,
and maybe you'll learn enough about birds to write your own article.
Also popular were the bird illustrations by Catherine Clark that accompanied Ask the Bird Folks from the beginning. Her drawings can be found hanging on refrigerator doors throughout the country. Those are all here as well.
Mike does have two books of articles: "Why Don't Woodpeckers Get Headaches?" and "Why Do Bluebirds Hate Me?" |
