Tawny Frogmouths are hard to spot even when the camera has zoomed in on them! 😮 Birds wear costumes to attract mates and hide from predators. Now that breeding season in the northern hemisphere is over, they tend to have camouflaging colors. #Haikubox #BirdCamo Learn more on our blog: Haikubox.com

Hunting birds use camouflage 🦉 to sneak up on prey, like this Barn Owl which becomes almost invisible when flying on a moonlit night. Spooky!

Palm Warblers fall into two subspecies that are usually differentiated by whether they have pale or yellow bellies. Genetics are revealing their overlapping ranges and gene flow. Like Dr. Seuss's Sneetches, these two populations get along just fine. #Haikubox #PalmWarbler #Sneetches

Spot any birds?🪶 Grassland bird populations have decreased dramatically in the past 50 years. @AmericanBirdConservancy notes the 5 with fastest declines: Mountain Plover, Lark Bunting, Sprague's Pipit, Thick-billed Longspur, and Chestnut-collared Longspur. #Haikubox #GrasslandBirds #BirdDecline

Darwin famously observed different beaks among birds on the Galapagos Islands. These birds exhibit adaptive radiation - they evolved from a common ancestor to eat different foods and occupy unique environmental niches. Image from Voyage of the Beagle #Haikubox #NaturalSelection #BirdBeaks

For birds stocking up for winter❄️, it's cache as cache can. Today's bountiful seeds and nuts 🥜 will be a welcome winter meal, but only if they can remember where they cached the food. Learn more in our latest blog post: haikubox.com #Birdwatching #WinterCache

We just made Haikubox more customizable! Let your photos take center stage by replacing our standard images with those from your library! Haikubox identifies birds using sound (it isn't a camera feeder), and it could identify hawks, warblers, waxwings... #Haikubox #BirdPhoto Haikubox.com

Have you recently spotted a bird with patchy feathers? It's molting - the natural process by which birds replace older, worn feathers with new ones. Lots of molting in fall when birds prep for migration or a cold winter. Read more in our Feather Swap blog tinyurl.com/2p8m8cw #Haikubox #Feathers

Replacing ragged feathers is important for birds' survival, here's why.

Both take to the skies, but birds 🪶and bats🦇 do not share a common flying ancestor; their flight is a great example of convergent evolution. Learn more about how researchers are studying bird & bat flight & why they are so long-lived. 🔎haikubox.com #haikubox #ConvergentEvolution #bats #birdwatching
