Fun surprise visitor today - a Northern Flicker! This is a male, as you can tell from his “mustache”. I love how feisty he was with the Starlings, and I hope he will return. I love Flickers because they are so stunning but also because they love ants. Usually, they feed here on the ground. As you can tell, they are quite large woodpeckers too.⁠ I’ll have to adjust the cam if he comes back.

ATTENTION there are hummingbird species called pufflegs and they are all wearing very silly pants and that’s their defining trait

@foxtrotfannibal Pufflegs!

Dude has a death wish

Delighted to announce this bird is real and is a corvid.

Truly the family that just keeps giving.

I haven’t seen it in the notes yet, so afaik, here’s the source of that video! So now you can see the funny poison bird much more clearly.

It was taken by a biologist that studies birds so it seems like he knows what he’s doing. For the most part. Here’s his caption:

You all know that he 100% licked his fingers after handling that bird

I can’t leave this in the tags, I’m sorry.
