I'm Going To Choose To Believe That, For Once, I'm Just Hearing The Echoes Of Far Off Fireworks. Yeah,

Eurasian Hoopoe (Upupa epops), from a banding. Jerusalem Bird Observatory (JBO). 11.11.21

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

Cute birds appreciation post
