The ideal candidate is exceptionally organized and detail oriented, has an understanding of donor relations and customer service principles, and can support BirdNote to increase our fundraising capacity as our listening audience grows.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;BirdNote is an independent media organization that produces programs aimed at inspiring people to notice and care about birds. These include our two-minute&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;BirdNote Daily&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;show that airs on NPR affiliate stations across the US and popular longform podcasts, including&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Bring Birds Back&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;with host Tenijah Hamilton and&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Threatened&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;with host Ari Daniel.

&lt;div class="narrow--container paragraph paragraph--background--0"&gt;&lt;p&gt;While these ducks really do have a whistle for their call, Black-bellied Whistling-Ducks also get attention for pairing flashy pink beaks and legs with the rich warm browns in their plumage. The Black-bellied is one of eight species of whistling-ducks worldwide, in the tropics and subtropics.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;KatieM&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

  <description>&lt;span&gt;Bar-tailed Godwit&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;div class="narrow--container paragraph paragraph--background--0"&gt;&lt;p&gt;A large wading bird, the Bar-tailed Godwit loves coastal shorelines and mudflats, where it forages for worms and crustaceans. It looks a bit out of place in the tundra where it spends nesting season. Known for their amazing migration, Bar-tailed Godwits fly nonstop from Alaska to New Zealand every fall.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;KatieM&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

  <description>&lt;span&gt;Jackdaw Strikes a Pose&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;div class="narrow--container paragraph paragraph--background--0"&gt;&lt;p&gt;This member of the clever Corvidae family sports a greyish "shawl" around its neck, a black cap, and distinctive light pearly eyes. The sociable Eurasian Jackdaw has a higher-pitched call than other crow species and a shorter, bulky bill.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;KatieM&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

  <description>&lt;span&gt;Swallow-tailed Kite shares a snack&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;div class="narrow--container paragraph paragraph--background--0"&gt;&lt;p&gt;A graceful, sleek raptor that spends most of its time in the air, the Swallow-tailed Kite usually captures and eats its food in flight.&amp;nbsp;While a lizard may not be your idea of a delightful snack, it was a welcome delivery from this Swallow-tailed Kite to his&amp;nbsp;mate.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;KatieM&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

  <description>&lt;span&gt;Spotted Sandpiper foraging&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;div class="narrow--container paragraph paragraph--background--0"&gt;&lt;p&gt;This medium-sized shorebird is known for a distinct behavior — almost constantly bobbing its rear end up and down as its walks and forages. In non-breeding plumage, the Spotted Sandpiper’s breast and stomach loses most of its spots.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;KatieM&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

  <description>&lt;span&gt;Young Great Horned Owl siblings&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;div class="narrow--container paragraph paragraph--background--0"&gt;&lt;p&gt;These Great Horned Owlets have left the nest, but still rely almost entirely on their parents for food. Their tail and wing feathers have come in, so the owlets have begun making short flights.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;KatieM&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

  <description>&lt;span&gt;A Leucistic American Robin&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;div class="narrow--container paragraph paragraph--background--0"&gt;&lt;p&gt;This American Robin has a genetic condition called leucism that affects the expression of all pigment types (as opposed to albinism, which only affects melanin).

  <description>&lt;span&gt;Hermit Thrush – Arizona&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;div class="narrow--container paragraph paragraph--background--0"&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Hermit Thrush blends in with the background of the western mountains and forests of the north, where it breeds.

  <description>&lt;span&gt;Common Yellowthroat male in spring&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;div class="narrow--container paragraph paragraph--background--0"&gt;&lt;p&gt;This confiding male Common Yellowthroat was photographed in Pennsylvania in May. During&amp;nbsp;breeding season, he's likely defending his territory from other males while listening for mating calls from females.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;KatieM&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

  <title>Rough-legged Hawk showing off its alulae</title>

  <description>&lt;span&gt;Rough-legged Hawk showing off its alulae&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;div class="narrow--container paragraph paragraph--background--0"&gt;&lt;p&gt;All flying birds have what’s called an alula on each wing. At the center of the front edge of the wing is a structure covered with three to five feathers that functions much like a flap on an airplane’s wing. The alula helps create lift and also prevents stall when a bird comes in for landing, particularly for raptors, including this Rough-legged Hawk.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;ellenb&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

  <title>Bohemian Waxwing eating berries</title>
  <link>http://birdnote.org/explore/sights-sounds/photo/2020/12/bohemian-waxwing-eating-berries</link>
  <description>&lt;span&gt;Bohemian Waxwing eating berries&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;div class="narrow--container paragraph paragraph--background--0"&gt;&lt;p&gt;In winter, wandering Bohemian Waxwings look for fruiting trees and shrubs – berries and fruit make up a large part of their winter diet. They may occasionally visit platform bird feeders. Per &lt;a href="https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Bohemian_Waxwing/overview#" target="_blank"&gt;All About Birds&lt;/a&gt;, Bohemian Waxwings don't have a true song, and "communicate with high-pitched calls as they roam around in large groups looking for fruit."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;KatieM&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

  <description>&lt;span&gt;Harlequin Duck at Alki Beach&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;div class="narrow--container paragraph paragraph--background--0"&gt;&lt;p&gt;A lively male Harlequin Duck greeted photographer Gregg Thompson with a pose worthy of its name – the brightly dressed character in Commedia dell'arte.

  <description>&lt;span&gt;Atlantic Puffin&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;div class="narrow--container paragraph paragraph--background--0"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sometimes called the “sea parrot” or "clown of the sea" because of its colorful beak, the Atlantic Puffin is the only puffin that lives in the Atlantic Ocean. Its diet is chiefly small fish such as herring and sand eels, supplemented with crustaceans and mollusks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;KatieM&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

  <description>&lt;span&gt;Wood Duck male in eclipse plumage&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;div class="narrow--container paragraph paragraph--background--0"&gt;&lt;p&gt;By late summer, a male Wood Duck's need for fancy feathers to attract the females has passed. These birds have molted, and their bright feathers are replaced with mottled brown ones. Subdued colors help camouflage the male ducks, protecting them from predators. Come fall, the male Wood Ducks will molt again and become the colorful dandies we remember.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;ellenb&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
