Flaco, the escaped Eurasian eagle-owl, perched on the Naumburg Bandshell last Friday night. Extreme opinions have been expressed about him. On this subject and others, perhaps we should behave more like owls: patiently watch and wait. (1/15)
#birds #birdwatching #nature #birdcpp
#birds #birdwatching #nature #birdcpp
The question of Flaco’s continuing freedom is moot with the zoo suspending its efforts to capture him again. I was able to observe their efforts to attract him with playback last Thursday night. He was responsive vocally but seemed to fly away from it more than towards it. (2/15)
They tried and it didn’t work. Any continued use of loud, sustained playback could be more harmful to sensitive birds in the park than Flaco would be as a novice hunter. Flaco might one day be a threat to sensitive birds but he isn’t today. (3/15)
I believe my Great Grey Owl friend has spotted something interesting again. Lets follow along and see

Vous avez sûrement vu passer des observations de Pingouins, et vous manquez d'explications sur ce phénomène exceptionnel ? Des ornithologues réfléchissent sur des explications probables, MAIS pas forcément confirmées. Donc #Thread #globalwarming #birdwatching #birds
Je cite : "L'afflux de pingouins n'est probablement pas sans lien avec celui des mouettes tridactyles qui commencent à atteindre la région, et celui d'autres oiseaux pélagiques sur le littoral atlantique. En cause, vraisemblablement les dépressions, et vents violents, qui...
...touchent l'Atlantique Nord depuis plusieurs semaines, notamment l'épisode du 17 novembre qui précède l'afflux des différentes espèces concernées. On aurait donc affaire à des oiseaux épuisés, ce qui expliquerait également la mortalité non négligeable signalée...

1/29 En el anterior 🧵, hablábamos sobre nichos ecológicos y el complejo concepto de #biodiversidad, que abarca más que el mero número de especies. Biodiversidad es una palabra que aparece en todo discurso sobre conservación, pero a menudo mal utilizada.
2/29 Aunque la intención era buena, el abuso de la palabra ha llevado a su simplificación y, de favorecer medios más diversos biológicamente, se ha pasado a centrarse en un mayor número de especies y, de ahí, a concentrarse sobre todo en proteger las especies o hábitats raros.
3/29 La legislación obliga a fijarse en las especies que son escasas, que (ya) están amenazadas. Las administraciones tienen que remitir a Europa informes sobre su situación y tomar medidas para mejorarla. Por supuesto, esto es tan necesario como urgente.
1/26 ¿Te cuesta distinguir las especies de serpientes cuando las ves? ¿Crees que es por tu inexperiencia? PUES, OJO, QUE QUIZÁ NO ES CULPA TUYA, SINO SUYA... (Pero ya sabes que para identificar cuantas fotos de serpientes nos mandes estamos nosotros aquí.) #sugebizi
2/26 Como somos animales muy visuales, cuando tratamos de identificar especies, nos fijamos en su forma y coloración. Para muchos grupos animales, esto funciona bien, al menos si conocemos los rasgos característicos de cada especie o los que permiten distinguir unas de otras.
3/26 Esta es la forma habitual de identificar aves, pasatiempo que atrae a muchos naturalistas. Se nos da muy bien, es muy entretenido y diríase que las aves han sido diseñadas para ello, con sus llamativos y, por lo general, inequívocos patrones de coloración. #birdwatching

¹Hello! Your friendly birder here introducing you to another cool grp of birds
MOUSEBIRDS!

This is 2 of the 3 in southern Africa
Like their name, they have cool similarities with mice. They hang out in grps clamoring on trees like mice..

²they are grey with long tails, a crest and short legs adapted for tree crawling. If you watch them on trees, get do look like mice🐀
There are 6 spp of Mousebird & all are confined to Africa. They are evolutionary distinct & special (someone can add here)

³they eat a wide variety but mostly fruit. They like to huddle together to keep warm. From time to time, you can see them on tree tops seemingly basking in the sun.
Cool fact: they bask in the sun with their bellies facing out to help with digestion...fermantative digestion 😉

1. On the occasion of #WetlandDay, here is a #thread on Reeds(varieties of tall aquatic grass) that grow in wetlands or marshy grounds. Reedbeds support a large variety of birds sp. eg, the Bitterns

2. Reeds are also home to some elusive species like the crakes & the rails (Family: Rallidae). Commonly seen Grey-headed Swamphen and Common moorhen are also belong to the same family.

3. Reedbeds are favorite among the herons. The Purple herons are always there along with their cousin Pond herons. Egrets and Cormorants are also found throughout the year around the reeds.

#birds #birding #birdwatching
Tras la aparición de tres búhos nivales en el norte de España, algo insólito, surgen muchas preguntas acerca de su procedencia y futuro. Para ayudar a resolverlas debemos conocer aspectos importantes de su historia natural, remontándonos además años atrás.
"9 de diciembre de 2013. El carguero MSC Monterey transporta contenedores de Nueva York a Bremerhaven, Alemania. Se sitúa a 50 kilómetros al sur de Terranova y recibe la inesperada visita de nueve búhos nivales, dos machos y siete hembras, agotados."

Yesterday's got a leucistic Jungle Babbler @ Ayodhya #IndiAves
In leucistic birds, affected plumage lacks melanin pigment due to the cells responsible for melanin production being absent. #birdwatching #nature #BirdsSeenIn2021 #BBCWildlifePOTD @Avibase @ThePhotoHour

This results in a white feathers, unless the normal plumage colour also comprises carotenoids (e.g. yellows), which remain unaffected by the condition. Although leucism is inherited, the extent and positioning of the white colouration

can vary between adults and their young, and can also skip generations if leucistic genes are recessive.
The reduction of pigment in leucistic birds causes feathers to weaken and be more prone to wear.

White-rumped Snowfinch (Onychostruthus taczanowskii) is one of the two species of Snowfinches that can be seen reliably in India only in the Tibetan Plateau region of North Sikkim, generally above 4500 meters (the other being Rufous-necked Snowfinch)
White-rumped Snowfinch associate very strongly with Black-lipped Pika or Plateau Pika , the most abundant mammal in this cold desert. Their burrows are used for nesting and also used for roosting, particularly by the juveniles.
Here is a Ground Tit, alongside a yak dung pat, from the cold plateau around Gurudongmar, North Sikkim.

Dung of large herbivores, particularly that of Domestic Yak has an important place in the grassland ecology of this high plateau. Dungs increases the abundance of arthropods particularly the larvae of coleopteran beetles which are consumed by a number of species of birds.
Many birds are often found close to areas with an abundance of dung pats. Ground Tits have long and curved beaks to probe into the dung pats and the soil around it for insects.

Today, my bother called me in the morning and told me that he found a chick at the bottom of a tree with a large hole. I ID the bird and he managed a bamboo 🪜 to place the chick in the hole. He noticed 2 more chicks there.
#IndiAves #BirdsSeenIn2021 #birdwatching
#IndiAves #BirdsSeenIn2021 #birdwatching
While doing so he was attacked by one the parents. The hole was little wide at its mouth so we concluded that the chick came out of its own while crawling inside the hole.
