I Opened The Gift. I'm Honestly Surprised; It's Really Thoughtful--a Sweater With A Big Cartoon Owl In

For all of it’s macabre feeding habits, the Loggerhead shrike’s song is surprisingly sweet. I’ve been admiring this species for quite some time and I was so thrilled to finally chance upon one in the wild!

this white steller’s jay was seen in boulder county, colorado. the bird is not albino - it was seen gradually gaining more and more white feathers over time. suggested causes are illness, trauma or a mutation.

Are you guys aware of chimney swifts??

They’re in the same order as hummingbirds and, in some positions, you can see the resemblance

But like… a hummingbird that’s cosplaying as a falcon.

Sleek. Efficient. Aerodynamic. Perfectly optimized.

Also they like to sleep in chimneys, hence the name, and when they perch they become very very flat

They also like to sleep in groups

Anyway 10/10 weird little beast. Love these little flat fuck hummingbird falcons

the bare-shanked screech owl is a large owl species found in mountainous ranges of costa rica, panama, and a small portion of colombia. they feed primarily on large insects and small mammals such as shrews. these owls are surprisingly social and spend their lives in family-sized groups, even during breeding seasons. males and females have no differences in plumage, but the female’s call is higher-pitched.
