Here's an interesting and very beautiful bird from the Philippines: the Spotted Wood Kingfisher. Unlike other kingfishers, it doesn't feed on fish, frogs, or aquatic insects; instead, it gets its food from foraging in the forest: beetles, insects, snails, and small vertebrates. 💙 🧡 🤍 🖤 💛 🤎 💚

Today is International Vulture Awareness Day. 🖤 🤍 ❤️ 🥰
Not every bird is tiny and cute. Not every bird sings a beautiful song. But we love vultures just the same, including their grunts, hisses, and clacks (they don't have a syrinx, so they can't sing like other birds). Without them, the world would be a messy place with dangerous diseases spreading everywhere. Nature made vultures her cleanup crew and gave them stomach acid with a pH of 1 to destroy things like rabies, anthrax, and botulism. When vultures are killed or die off, feral dogs often take their place, and disease (especially rabies) begins to spread.
Vultures are beautiful birds. They are clean and love to bathe as often as possible and preen after every meal. They mate for life and are wonderful parents. To watch them soar is to see beauty on the wing.
Below is an #IVAD poster created to honor Andy N. Condor, one of the greatest ambassadors for vultures you could ever imagine. He had a long life with many friends, passing away just two weeks ago.
We will miss you, Andy. Soar high on the thermals, look down on us, and keep us safe. 🖤 🤍 🖤 💗 💚 🌈 🌈 🌈

An excellent article on the MIT homepage today about how important seed-dispersing animals (including birds) are to forest carbon absorption. The picture is of a Great Hornbill chowing down on a juicy fig.

Fascinating Loon Fact: this is the only way a loon can "walk." They're unable to walk on dry land because their legs are set so far back on their bodies that if they even managed to stand (which they can't), they'd fall on their faces. Instead, the function of their legs and feet is to allow them to paddle through the water, where they spend virtually all their lives, and to help propel them forward and upward from the water when they want to fly. 🖤🤎🤍❤️

Two Canadian photographers captured American Robins fishing and gobbling down their catches! Who knew they did this?
1. (left) Photographer Daniel Cadieux
2. (right) Photographer Wido De Hauteville
After this, I will post a link from Mr. Cadieux to his blog documenting this behavior, with lots of pictures.

I am so sad 😢 😭 Andy N. Condor, the beloved Andean Condor and Vulture Ambassador at Tracy Aviary in Utah, has passed away at the age of 64 of natural causes. He was active up until his very last day, taking walks with visitors and interacting with other birds (especially Chewie, the black vulture) and his keeper and best friend, Helen Dishaw. He lay down to sleep that night, and quietly passed on.
This is the announcement that was written on his Facebook page by Helen, who is devastated. She once said this is the price we will eventually have to pay for loving an animal, but we love them anyway.
By the way, I'm proud to be the one who told her of the legend "Once the condor enters your life, it will never leave." She used it in Andy's obituary, and it's so true.
Soar high on the thermals, Andy. We will meet again. 🖤 🤍 🖤 💗 💚 🌈
