The first sighting of a California condor egg in Northern California in over 100 years 🤩"Scientists with the Yurok Tribe say that two of 26 condors released to the wild in Humboldt County since 2022 have recently paired up, established a nest high in a redwood tree and appear to be tending to an egg."https://www.sfchronicle.com/california/article/california-condor-21951147.php/ via @sfchronicle #SFBA #California #Conservation #EndangeredSpecies #Birds

Messy eater! #birds

We often think of flocking #birds as a group that follows the leader, but new #research shows that individual zebra finches can be quite stubborn. Some birds will choose their favorite nesting materials even if every other bird is doing something different, a trait that researchers say helps the species survive if the rest of the group makes a mistake. https://theconversation.com/strong-opinions-matter-why-some-birds-refuse-to-follow-the-flock-275905‍️ Starling murmuration, an enthralling 5 minutes in the Netherlands https://thekidshouldseethis.com/post/starling-murmuration-an-enthralling-five-minutes-in-the-netherlands #biology #psychology #science #nature #animals #wildlife #evolution #learning #stem #ornithology

If you've ever spotted a shorebird spinning in circles on the water, you might have wondered if it was okay. Wilson's #phalaropes actually spin to create a small vortex that sucks #invertebrates up to the surface. It's a clever way to forage for food that some say makes them look like "demented wind-up toys."

One last ring-billed gull photo, a side-view head shot. To my over-active imagination, this bird looks maniacal. I think it's the red-rimmed eyes and that hooked beak. I can almost hear a fiendish voice saying "All your fish are MINE!". Burke, Virginia, USA 28FEB2026. #birds #birdphotography #naturephotography

Caption this! Male & female ring-billed gulls have identical plumage, though males are a tiny bit larger. In any case, there is clearly one loud bird in this pair, and a mate who looks entirely disinterested. Burke, Virginia, USA #birds #birdphotography #naturephotography [ P.S. RANT This is a low-res screen-cap of the real photo because Mastodon won't accept full-frame hi-res photos. ENDRANT ]

@Trilobyter great shot

@paperposts Keep in mind even if it’s at 20GB usage it’s still deleting and re-writing that 20GB every 2 days.Going to add up fast on consumer grade NVME with the write cycles.IF you host from home, something to consider.
