A female Rufous hummingbird (Selasphorus rufus) last spring in the Comox Valley on Vancouver Island. Sometimes wildlife is right at your doorstep. #BloomScrolling #photography #nature #birds #VancouverIslandWildlife #BritishColumbia #Canada

The Warblers are arriving: a Pine Warbler in the Pine trees yesterday. His loud song alerted us to him. #birds #SpringMigration #spring #nature

Vultures eat anthrax, botulism, rabies, & cholera for breakfast. Their stomach acid is among the most corrosive in the animal kingdom, with a pH around 1, low enough to dissolve the bones, hide, & pathogens of dead animals that would kill almost anything else. A vulture eating a diseased carcass isn't a vector for disease, it's the end of the line. The disease chain ends in the vulture's gut, & that's pretty hardcore. When vulture populations crashed in India in the 1990s, rotting livestock carcasses sat where vultures used to clean them. Feral dogs and rats took over the cleanup, both of which actually do spread rabies. Researchers later linked the vulture collapse to roughly 500,000 deaths in India over the following decade. The same collapse is now underway in sub-Saharan Africa. 6 of 11 African vulture species are threatened with extinction, primarily from poisoned poaching baits. The animals nobody finds cute are doing more public health work than most of the species we actively protect. #Birds

I had a visit from this feathery boy. Or maybe she's girl. Just sat patiently while I got very close for the photo. I suspect that they were waiting for a snack. Lots of people in my street like to feed the birds. But I had nothing suitable and there was no way I was sharing my hot buttered raisin toast. #Birds #Wildlife

#GutenMorgen Fediland. ☕ »Um jede kleine Freiheit, die wir dazubekamen, wurde erbittert gekämpft zwischen denen, die wollen, dass wir mehr wissen und weiser und stärker sind, und denen, die wollen, dass wir demütig und unterwürfig gehorchen.« (Philip Pullman, "Das magische Messer") Auf geht's zum Bäcker. Habt einen schönen Sonntag. #Fotografie #Photography #Vögel #Birds #BirdsOfMastodon

Good morning! Today's small friends are a scruffy downy woodpecker, an extremely composed mourning dove, and a somewhat wet and disheveled bronzed grackle. #Pittsbirds #backyardbirding #birds #birdsofmastodon
