  1. 🐦🌌 Engineers and biologists have found that #bird feathers act like specialized heat sinks that shed infrared radiation through the #atmosphere.

    Species living in open #grasslands are especially effective at using this method to stay cool under the #sun. The finding could help researchers design new materials for passive cooling in human #buildings.

  6. Opened the blinds to the sight of a sparrowhawk stripping feathers from a freshly killed starling. He saw me and flew off with it. I now have a perfect outline in blood on the drive, and a few dark feathers, the proof of a murder.

  7. Call this one Crewcut because of her head feathers (they are always fluffed up like that) #AustralianBirds

  15. Hope by
    Emily Dickinson-

    Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul and sings the tune without the words and never stops at all.

    And sweetest in the gale is heard and sore must be the storm that could abash the little Bird that kept so many warm.

    I’ve heard it in the chillest land and on the strangest sea yet never in extremity, it asked a crumb of me.

  16. Big Picture Science for Feb. 23, 2026: Birds of a Feather

    With only a microscope and a collection of birds, taxidermist Roxie Laybourne became the world’s first forensic ornithologist. The “feather detective” was on the case, examining pieces of plumage to solve mysteries. From bird strikes that caused plane accidents to homicide investigations, no case was too big. In the process, Roxie changed the world of aviation safety and crime investigation forever. Even now, feathers are unraveling a new type of mystery, as scientists from the Bird Genoscape Project use them to map the migratory routes of birds.

    Guests:

    * Chris Sweeney – Journalist and author of “The Feather Detective: Mystery, Mayhem, and the Magnificent Life of Roxie Laybourne”
    * Kristen Ruegg – Co-Director of the Bird Genoscape Project and Associate Professor of Biology at Colorado State University
