New research finds #fluorescence in feathers of Long-eared Owls
https://phys.org/news/2025-04-fluorescence-feathers-eared-owls.html
Fluorescent pigment concentration correlated with age, sex, and size in #LongEaredOwl (Asio otus) plumage https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/15594491.2024.2444031
"female Long-eared #Owls have a much higher concentration of these pigments in their feathers, challenging a common misconception that colorful #plumage is a male trait... We are only beginning to describe fluorescent pigments in #birds and other vertebrates"

Greater Roadrunner Winter Profile by Debra Martz
One reason birds fluff up their feathers is to stay warm in the winter. This traps air between their body and feathers acting as insulation. The more trapped air, the warmer the bird.
AKA Chaparral bird

A buff necked ibis on the sandy shore of a river poking its long beak into the soft soils looking for food. Photographed in the Pantanal of Brazil. All our photos were taken from the rocky platform of a boat so I was always thrilled to get an in-focus image of the wildlife!
