A #birder question from a non-ornithologist which came to mind after hearing a #BirdNote segment on #NPR.

The piece reveals that some bird calls change over the years and others have been stable for millennia. One maybe 500kYrs.

That was seemingly deduced based on comparing calls of populations separated at a specific point in their history (prob thru DNA analysis).

So a #question…

My brain contains some random birding knowledge collated from goodness knows where.

Was walking along Llanberis Lake yesterday when my mate pointed out a black-and-white diver-like bird and pondered what it was.

From out of nowhere my brain said, "Merganser?".

I don't know when/if I've ever seen a Merganser before.

On getting home he Googled it, and yes, in all likelihood it was a Merganser! :blobcatshrug:

This Yellow-Headed Carara is thousands of miles off-course but makes do in between an automated car wash and a generous Halal butcher. #naturephotography #birds #birders #birdwatchers #birdwatching #naturephotos #losangeles #Lomita #TwitcherWithACamera #Twitcher #AmericanTwitcher #BirdsOfPixelfed #CaraCara #YellowHeadedCaracara

This sweet little cinnamon-coloured bird is critically endangered in north-eastern NSW and South East Queensland, but a partnership between Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary and the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water is offering hope for this special species.

Eight captive-bred eastern bristlebirds (Dasyornis brachypterus) were recently released in the Border Ranges region, bringing the total number of birds to about 45 from its lowest point of only 15.

Hey #Twitcher Mastodon, what did I manage to snap on my last cycle?

If you want to see a Night Heron looking for a feed, my friend just uploaded some photos Irish Birding site.

‘It spent 2 hours in one position, waiting.’

Now I’m no #twitcher but when there are reports of a #Hoopoe just down the road I’ve got to try my luck.
What a bird..! 😲😎👍✅
These guys usually hang out in southern #Europe and occasionally appear in the south of #England causing a good deal of excitement.
But this one is in #Combee, #CountyDown, #NorthernIreland 😳

That feeling when you have work deadlines but you just want to stare out of the window watching the birds come to the feeders...

I'm no #twitcher but when we #travel I do tend to take a few shots of #birds, especially since they're often of a type we don't see at home. It's often only when we return that I find out what it was I've photographed, although on this occasion in #Argentina we'd been told it was a Patagonian Mockingbird.

Bushes, some greenery but a lot of dry branches too, and our focus is on a pile of dry twigs gathered in a rough nest in the foreground. Atop this is a bird, quite rounded with a majority of pale brown-beige feathers except at the wing tips where there are some black and white markings. The bird's mouth is open, clearly in mid-call.

@r_heisman @simon huh... cool.

And timely to write about bird migrations! 🐦 😉

Maybe these # will attract the #Twitchers #Twitcher and #TwitchersOfTwitter

#twitcher, #birdwatcher #help

I am no twitcher, but how common are snipes in the North of England? Never seen one before, but I expect they are common?

I'm not much of a #birdwatcher aka #twitcher.

Here's my birdwatching #lifelist:

Black one
Large black one
Little one with bit of yellow on wings
Black and white one
Redhead that knocks on trees

@beavers fellow amateur #twitcher here. So many wonderful #birds here in South Africa, I love our local sunbirds, sugarbirds and was lucky enough to have a resident African Wood Owl for a little while.

I’d love to connect with other #bird lovers. I’m an amateur #twitcher. Here is a #heron I made on #procreate. My current favourite birds are: an oyster catcher, sandpiper or a kingfisher. What are yours? #art #MastoArt #illustration #drawing #nature #RSPB
