The annual Winter Finch Forecast is easily one of the highlights of the birding year for many, and a perfect combination of birding science and birding art. When Ron Pittaway retired in early 2020, birders worried that the forecast would be retired as well, but that was happily not the case. Tyler Hoar stepped in and with the help of the Finch Research Network, brought the forecast into the 21st Century. He  joins us to talk about how it all works and what it was like filling the shoes of a birding giant.  Plus, come join us as we reveal the 2022 Bird of the Year at a party in Philadelphia!

05-45: Behind the Finch Forecast with Tyler Hoar

Migration, Migration, Migration! Today Evan and Nate sit down with the Winter Finch Forecaster Tyler Hoar to discuss what birds might be visiting us this winter from the North.First, Evan discusses the results of the recent Illinois Big Sit competition. Who knew that a birding competition could be filled with so much friendly competition, rivalry, and a dramatic finish! If you remember last year, Tyler gave us an amazing forecast of an irruption year and absolutely nailed it. We have Evening Grosbeaks, Redpolls, and Crossbills all winter here in Illinois. Today, Tyler discusses first his methodology that went into this year's forecast. He then explains some of the environmental factors that are affecting the birds migration. Finally he talks finches.Which finches, if any might make it to Illinois? Could this be a year of the echo flight? While the winters may be long, this episode might give you hope of what is to come!

The Winter Finch Forecast with Tyler Hoar

Today, Nate and Evan have the privilege of sitting down with Tyler Hoar. Tyler is a freelance biologist and ecologist who recently took the reins of the Winter Finch Forecast. What an incredible first year to do the finch forecast! Tyler discusses his methodology for developing the forecast. We begin by talking about the the overall factors contributing to the finch migration this year. What ecological factors are driving the finches south? Then we get into specific species. What can we expect from the Pine Siskin, Purple Finch, Red-Crossbill, White-winged Crossbill, Common &amp; Hoary Redpoll, Pine Grosbeak, and Evening Grosbeak. Tyler shares some incredible tips with us about the specific trees to target when looking for these species. But mostly, he shares what we can expect in the coming months.While winters can be tough and arduous, this episode will give you hope for the months to come! Happy listening and Happy birding!
