Cedar waxwing. I don’t think I ever got the head feathers to look so distinct before.

A young White-crowned Sparrow isn’t yet showing its crown - that will appear during its winter molt - but it is already skilled at snatching a bug. #birds_matter #birds

Northern Pintails at the Cosumnes River Preserve! They sure love their wetlands #birdsofbluesky
A couple northern pintails amidst a brown swampy marsh. They are waterfowl with light blue beaks, brown heads, white necks with white underbellies, and grey on the top of their bodies/wings

A bird with three or more colors for #BirdOfTheDay? How about about a Zebra Finch - all that AND spots!

I almost thought this fellow was a statue with how still it was standing. It was likely looking for a bite to eat. Taken in Stockton, California

Some birds can even hear infrasound, low-frequency sounds produced by storms. Birds as tiny as hummingbirds migrate--and yet have such incredible capabilities.

Info on BirdCast: birdcast.info. Between local sunset and sunrise you can also watch live maps: birdcast.info/migration-to.... #birds 🌎
Bird migration forecasts show predicted nocturnal migration 3 hours after local sunset and are updated every 6 hours. These forecasts come from models trained on the last 23 years of bird movements in the atmosphere as detected by the US NEXRAD weather surveillance radar network. In these models we use the Global Forecasting System (GFS) to predict suitable conditions for migration occurring three hours after local sunset. These maps also show precipitation forecasts (outlined and shown in grayscale). Note, areas forecast to experience precipitation and bird migration may overlap, and predictions for migration intensity may be highly variable in these locations. Colorado State University and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology currently produce these forecasts. Leon Levy Foundation, Edward W. Rose Postdoctoral Fellowship, and the Marshall Aid Commemoration Commission supported this research, with additional support from University of Massachusetts Amherst and University of Oklahoma. The BirdCast project was created with grant awards from the National Science Foundation and subsequently supported by awards from Leon Levy Foundation.

Egg-citing news! Nine fuzzy California condor chicks hatched at our wildlife conservation center this season. Eventually, they'll be released into the wild to boost the population of this critically endangered species.

He may not be the original bluebird of happiness, but he's blue, and he makes me happy.

Detail of a Congo grey parrot (𝘗𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘢𝘤𝘶𝘴 𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘤𝘶𝘴), one of the most intelligent species in the animal kingdom; they are capable of learning 1000+ words and using them in context!

🪶 #birdart #sciart #birds
Ab illustration of a Congo grey parrot. The bird is shown in a three-quarter profile, its head facing left. Its feathers are intricately rendered in shades of grey. The parrot has a prominent curved dark beak and a light green eye. The background is white with a single light green stroke sweeping across the page, grounding the piece.
