CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@Sumuvuohi Kaverilla on kohtuu hyvä suojaväri. En pieneltä ruudulta ensin hahmottanut lintua.

@benroyce@mastodon.social gave up half my deck so Mrs robin would stay on the nest. nice nest. we saved it.https://midwest.social/post/44968861

Oh, I also got briefly distracted trying to focus on a hover fly* & I kind of nearly got it. Nearly. The best thing about this is how foolish I must look wandering across the lawn rapidly pointing the camera in different directions, seemingly at nothing, while refocusing and grumbling to myself.Anyhow, I like how the background ended up in this, & it's a lot better than the others * I think it's a hover fly. It was hovering. And flying.

@elaterite Stunning composition and details here, Bob

@grickle Had part of a dead nestling in the outside water bowl this morning. Crow gift.

@Santtu_61 Nää on yks oma keväinen suosikki, ja aina yhtä komean näköisiä. Pari vuotta sitten näin itekin vasta ekaa kertaa, ja sitten oppi että se on aina muutama päivää keväästä kun pysähtyvät tähän lähelle.

@raymaccarthy @seindal For the record, the German name is "Austernfischer" - "Oyster Fisher", which seems more apt.

@peachfront @BruceMirken Where is this?

Engineers and biologists have found that #bird feathers act like specialized heat sinks that shed infrared radiation through the #atmosphere.Species living in open #grasslands are especially effective at using this method to stay cool under the #sun. The finding could help researchers design new materials for passive cooling in human #buildings. https://www.sciencealert.com/bird-feathers-may-shed-heat-into-space-engineers-explain#birds #physics #engineering #nature #science #biology #evolution #thermodynamics #ornithology #biomimicry

Saw an American Bittern in a local park, in Toronto. Not usually found around here. https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/69493531#map=16/43.68974/-79.42482#Toronto #birds #bird #birding

New bird on campus today (not a new bird to me, but new on campus). It is a Little Grassbird. #bird #LittleGrassbird #AustralianWildlife #WildOz
