“It can be tough being one of the smallest birds of prey. Despite their fierce lifestyle, American Kestrels end up as prey for larger birds such as American Goshawks, Red-tailed Hawks, Barn Owls, American Crows, and Sharp-shinned and Cooper’s Hawks, as well as rat snakes, corn snakes, and even fire ants.”—allaboutbirds.org. #americankestrel #kestrel #kestrels #raptors #raptorsquad #raptorsofinstagram #allaboutbirdstoday #birdfacts #birding #birdingphotography #birdingdaily #nuts_about_birds #photooftheday #birdphotos #birdphotographer #birding_photography #birdlovers #birds_captures #birdlover #birdgeek #shannonhobbsdesigns #birdingdays #californiabirding #californiaaudubon #audubonsociety #nationalaudubonsociety #ocbirds #ocbirdsofprey #ocbirdseyeview #nuts_about_wildlife
Got an audience with a Belted Kingfisher this morning! Kingfishers sit on edges of bodies of water and dive bomb the surface to catch fish with their long, sharp beaks. This female (note the copper belt) is one of the few bird species where the female is more colorful than the male. #minnesotabirds #kingfishers #birdfacts
My first yellow-bellied sapsucker (YBSA) banded. That’s 2 woodpeckers banded this year! You can really see with this individual where they get the name. With some birds the yellow on the chest and belly is reduced. This is a male due to the black bordered red throat, females have a white throat. Of course ageing him wasn’t easy (woodpecker things) but we decided on TY since he was without juvenile feathers on the head, back, and breast. His secondary coverts were uniformly basic, and the primary coverts did look to be a bit more juvenile. The iris was also still pretty brown, whereas the ASY/ATY and 4Y birds have a deep reddish brown iris. Not completely happy with the ageing, but I don’t think we ever are with a woodpecker. I’m also not great with molt cycle ageing, but based on the fact we think he’s a third year, and he wasn’t currently molting I believe he is in his third cycle basic (TCB) plumage. • Check out the feet on this YBSA, they don’t look like your typical birds foot. That’s because a passerine (perching bird) that you typically see around your feeder has anisodactyl feet (3 toes pointing forward, 1 pointing back). Woodpeckers have zygodactyl feet, meaning toes 2 and 3 point forward and toes 1 and 4 point backwards. Toe 4 is actually pretty flexible and can point sideways or forwards to help the woodpecker climb. And of course, the claws are extremely sharp which helps grip the bark. This guy really scratched up my hand yesterday. • All banding was performed under the supervision of the bander in charge/master bander, and under the appropriate permits. • • • #yellowbelliedsapsucker #ybsa #sapsucker #woodpecker #birdbanding #birdbander #birdringing #birdringer #birdbandingstation #ontarionature #ontariowildlife #canadianwildlife #biodiversity #ornothology #birdbiology #birdlover #birdnerd #birdid #conservationbiology #wildlifeconservation #biodiversity #birdbiodiversity #birdfacts #birdtrivia

A male Reed bunting, hiding amongst -you’ll never have guessed- the reeds 🌾 Reed buntings are residents in the UK, but you’re most likely to notice one in the spring when the males perch themselves high on reeds, rushes and scrub to sing 🎶 They can be found in wetlands and farmland. The female has similar patterning but with brown tones, rather than the striking black and white contrast of her partner 🤍
💡 On Saturdays, we share facts 💡 This handsome fella is known as the Great Blue Heron - one of the largest birds existing in North America! Believe it or not, Great Blue Herons are not actually blue! They have a gray-ish blue color that appears blue when in the distance but grayer up close! With a wingspan of up to 6 ft, they are capable of soaring at high altitudes and up to 16 hours non-stop. The oldest recorded Great Blue Heron was held captive, dying at the age of 23 years and 3 months old, giving them an estimated lifespan of 24 years in captivity and 15 years in the wild. When caring for offspring, both the male and female Great Blue Herons take turns incubating the eggs and caring for the chicks. They are dedicated parents and continue to care for their offspring until they are independent. We're excited to see some Great Blue Herons on our trips this season and we hope you are too! 🛶 - The River's Path . . . #theriverspath #greatblueheron #funfacts #naturefacts #utah #birdphotography #wildlife #birdfacts

It is not commonly known that the fluttering wings of the hummingbird move in the pattern of an infinity symbol – further solidifying their symbolism of eternity, continuity, and infinity. By observing the hummingbird, we see they are seemingly tireless. Always actively seeking the sweetest nectar, they remind us to forever seek out the good in life and the beauty in each day. Hummingbird animal totem meaning is about energetic resources. These lovely creatures are a great reminder of how we expend our own energy. When hummingbirds show up in our lives, it’s a good time to take a look at our energy-stores and resources. hummingbirds warrant an honest look at how we are maintaining our vibrational frequencies. Are we frittering away our energy on needless issues (ie: worry, fear, lack)? Or, are we in a state of well-honed, regulated balance when it comes to our energy and resources? Amazing migrators, some hummingbirds are known to wing their way as far as 2000 miles to reach their destination. This quality reminds us to be persistent in the pursuit of our dreams, and adopt the tenacity of the hummingbird in our lives. . . . . . . . . . . . #artoninstagram #allondoesart #paperart #paperartist #paperartwork #papercraft #paperartistcollective #paperlover #papercutting #papercutout #watercolors #cutbyhand #papercrafts #allondoesart #inspiredbymymomma #animalart #birds #hummingbird #fierythroatedhummingbird #panterpeinsignis #strisores #trochilidae #apodiformes #colorful #aves #animalart #instaart #artforthesoul #dutchartist #amsterdamart #birdfacts #papercutmix
Welcome to Wild World Weekly! This week, we're exploring the fascinating “Nightjar” bird. With a specialized lower jaw that can open horizontally and vertically, Nightjars are known for their unique walking ability and partly webbed feet with comb-like claws for preening feathers. Nightjars' rictal bristles around their beaks help them catch insects while they navigate the night skies. Their comb-like foot feature assists in cleaning these bristles, making them efficient hunters. Witnessing their well-honed camouflage in action is truly remarkable! At KAADOO, we're passionate about showcasing the wonders of wildlife. Stay tuned for more captivating insights into our planet's incredible biodiversity.

A mouthful .

Lesser yellow- headed vulture in flight! I was 35 metres up on @rainforestexpeditions canopy tower when this beautiful individual flew right towards me. It really felt like it was curious and flying nearby to have a good look at me. It flew past a couple times before catching a thermal wind and gliding far away into the horizon. Cool fact - these are pretty cool birds that urinate on their legs to cool down! Unlike most other vultures that rely on sight to find dead animals to feed on, this species has a highly refined sense of smell which plays a big part in detecting food. Perhaps it flew past me because I was irresistibly stinking of sweat and smelling a bit of dead animal. I’m not usually like this but after walking several hours in the amazons’ heat and humidity most start to produce a similar smell…
🔥Repost for #WorldPenguinDay ❤️HELLO, IT'S ME🐧 "The Adélie is the smallest species of penguin in the Antarctic. It might look cute and a bit clumsy on land but don’t be fooled, these birds are feisty. They’ve been known to take on potential predators – seals or large seabirds – or even attack visiting researchers with their flippers. Slap!" -Source: www dot wwf dot org dot uk #adele #adeliepenguins #adeliepenguin #hellofromtheotherside #rollinginthedeep #birdfacts #nature #naturememes #wildlifemanagement #penguinday #wholesomecomics #audubon #joy
I never posted a Green Woodpecker picture before because I never managed to get any decent shots of them. This is by far the best one I ever got so I'm posting it to celebrate my success 😆 I took this in a park back in Germany where I saw several pairs of them. Overall they seemed less skittish compared to the ones I come across in the UK but that might just be my imagination. They still weren't that easy to get close to - a pair was foraging on the ground but would always move on when I just got into range. It didn't help that there were kids and dogs running about as well 😅 This one just happened to stop nearby for a few seconds before it disappeared amongst the trees. It's a female as she has a solid black 'moustache' (the black bit that runs down the neck from the beak) whereas males have a red stripe in the centre. Maybe one day I'll get a shot that I'm actually happy with 😄 #greenwoodpecker #grünspecht #woodpeckersofinstagram #specht #hainbamberg #bambergmeinestadt #bamberglieben #naturfotografie_deutschland #birdsofgermany #picusviridis #birdfacts #vogelkunde #nichtschlechtherrspecht

Finally, the main stars of the show, meet Mummy & Baby Flamingo! 🦩🦩 Did you know…Flamingos are intriguing creatures known for their vibrant pink feathers and unique appearance. However, one curious aspect that often goes unnoticed is their lack of vocalization. Unlike many other bird species that can be heard singing or calling, flamingos are surprisingly quiet. So, why don’t we hear flamingos that often? The answer lies in their communication style, which is primarily non-vocal. Flamingos rely on visual signals, body language, and synchronized movements to convey messages to each other. #doallbirdssquawk #mummyandbabyflamingo #flamingoes #childrensbook #birdfacts #childrensbook #childrensauthor #booksforchildren #birds #birdsounds #bedtimestories #earlyliteracy #familytime #reading #parenting #selfpublishedauthor #childrensbookpost #storytime #childrensbookboost #kidsbookstagram #picturebooks #childrensbookswelove
Meet The Rooster Family! 🐓🐓🐥🐥 Did you know…One of the most iconic behaviors of roosters is their crowing. Roosters crow at dawn to mark their territory and announce their presence. Contrary to popular belief, they don’t just crow in the morning but throughout the day to communicate with the flock. #doallbirdssquawk #cockadoodledoo #roosterfamily #birdfacts #childrensbook #childrensauthor #booksforchildren #birds #birdsounds #bedtimestories #earlyliteracy #familytime #reading #parenting #selfpublishedauthor #childrensbookpost #storytime #childrensbookboost #kidsbookstagram #picturebooks #childrensbookswelove
Meet Daddy Seagulls Did you know… While their noisy squawks might sound obtrusive to human ears, they’re an integral part of how they communicate with each other. #doallbirdssquawk #squawksquawk #daddyseagulls #birdfacts #childrensbook #childrensauthor #booksforchildren #birds #birdsounds #bedtimestories #earlyliteracy #familytime #reading #parenting #selfpublishedauthor #childrensbookpost #storytime #childrensbookboost #kidsbookstagram #picturebooks #childrensbookswelove Buy here - https://amzn.eu/d/hcaMta1
Meet The Turkey Family 🦃🦃 Did you know…Male turkeys are called “gobblers,” after the “gobble” call they make to announce themselves to females (which are called “hens”) and compete with other males #dosa llbirdssquawk #gobblegobble #turkeyfamily #birdfacts #childrensbook #childrensauthor #booksforchildren #birds #birdsounds #bedtimestories #earlyliteracy #familytime #reading #parenting #selfpublishedauthor #childrensbookpost #storytime #childrensbookboost #kidsbookstagram #picturebooks #childrensbookswelove Buy here - https://amzn.eu/d/d5XxAmm
Meet Mrs Peacock (Peahen) 🦚 Did you know….When the breeding time comes around each year, the peacock will try to impress the peahen as much as possible. Apart from displaying his feathers and train, he will also guard his territory and make a loud noise to ward off other males #doallbirdssquawk #mrspeacock #aahaah #birdfacts #childrensbook #childrensauthor #booksforchildren #birds #birdsounds #bedtimestories #earlyliteracy #familytime #reading #parenting #selfpublishedauthor #childrensbookpost #storytime #childrensbookboost #kidsbookstagram #picturebooks #childrensbookswelove
Meet Mr Eagle 🦅 Did you know…Eagles aren’t known to make any sounds except during their breeding season. The only species of Eagles that are vocal is the bald eagle. It has a loud, harsh call that it uses to warn away intruders or communicate with any other bald eagle that is in its proximity. #doallbirdssquawk #Eagle #ScreechScreech #birdfacts #childrensbook #childrensauthor #booksforchildren #birds #birdsounds #bedtimestories #earlyliteracy #familytime #reading #parenting #selfpublishedauthor #childrensbookpost #storytime #childrensbookboost #kidsbookstagram #picturebooks #childrensbookswelove Buy it here - https://amzn.eu/d/i0kr7VS
Meet The Owl Family! 🦉🦉🦉🦉 Did you know….Owls produce sounds like ‘hooting’ which means that either they are ready to mate or there is a predator nearby. The male stops hooting as soon as the mating starts. Males are generally more vocal than females. #doallbirdssquawk #twittwoo #owlfamily #birdfacts #childrensbook #childrensauthor #booksforchildren #birds #birdsounds #bedtimestories #earlyliteracy #familytime #reading #parenting #selfpublishedauthor #childrensbookpost #storytime #childrensbookboost #kidsbookstagram #picturebooks #childrensbookswelove
Meet Miss Nightingale! Did you know…The nightingale probably has the largest range of songs of any bird. Like many tuneful birds the nightingale is frequently heard long before it is seen. #doallbirdssquawk #nightingale #tweettweet #birdfacts #childrensbook #childrensauthor #booksforchildren #birds #birdsounds #bedtimestories #earlyliteracy #familytime #reading #parenting #selfpublishedauthor #childrensbookpost #storytime #childrensbookboost #kidsbookstagram #picturebooks #childrensbookswelove
Meet Mr Woodpecker! Did you know….Woodpeckers have a powerful set of ears that help them hunt for insects. They can hear the sounds that insects make as they travel underneath the bark of deadwood. Woodpeckers can even detect and pinpoint the sound of insects chewing. Then, they’ll expertly peck away to break through the wood to excavate these hidden insects. #doallbirdssquawk #woodpecker #funfact #birdfacts #peckpeckpeck #childrensbook #childrensauthor #booksforchildren #birds #birdsounds #bedtimestories #earlyliteracy #familytime #reading #parenting #selfpublishedauthor #childrensbookpost #storytime #childrensbookboost #kidsbookstagram #picturebooks #childrensbookswelove
