🐦 Why do birds suddenly stay very still? 👀
Many birds pause to listen, search for food, and scan for danger before moving again. 🌱

🐦 Killdeer often nest directly on gravel and open ground! 👀
Their speckled eggs blend perfectly into dirt and rocks to help stay hidden from predators. 🥚🌱

🐦 Some Alberta birds are experts at blending in!👀
From gravel nests to bark-like feathers, camouflage helps many birds stay hidden during nesting season.

Description
🐦 Have you noticed birds rolling around in dirt lately?
Many birds take dust baths to help clean feathers and remove parasites during warmer months. 🌱

Watched this lovely female Crossbill bark-stripping (today). She'd clearly been returning to this favoured Larch twig - presumably to add material to an existing nest (given they are usually very early nesters). Fun to watch! @_BTO #birds #BirdBehaviour #birding

The red-fronted coua is different from most cuckoos because it does not practice brood parasitism.
👉 Brood parasitism means laying eggs in another bird’s nest and leaving the host parents to raise the chick.
Instead, the red-fronted coua builds its own nest and raises its young, showing rare parental care for a cuckoo species.

Plenty of winter plumage #turnstones to be seen along the tide line of the coast - resting at high tide or scurrying around turning over seaweed or stones in search of food. They can turnover their body weight ~120g.

Even the real Blue Jays are cheering! Go Jays go!
When the games aren’t on, why not take a walk and decompress by watching these fascinating birds at The Arboretum!

The black drongo’s mimicry game is strong.
Spotted in Kota, Rajasthan, this drongo was heard meowing like a cat. Yes, really!
From fluty calls to harsh chatters and high whistles, black drongos are master mimics. Here, it’s using a cat’s call to spook other birds and hold its ground.
