  1. OMG is it even possible to get a legitimate answer for anything on the internet anymore without the top results being "written" by AI and full of ads top to bottom?? And no, I'm not using google search.

    I was trying to find an explanation for why a Swainson's hawk mother would bring fresh twigs with leaves (and what species it would be) to a nest when the babies are just days away from fledging.

    I'm adding a photo I from my website if anyone might be able to identify what she has in her mouth.

  4. she's gathering worms because her nest under the tree roots is super close by but we could not see into it since it was pretty much underground and completely dark... as opposed to the mostly dark ISO 12,000 of this area when she (briefly) emerged into what we may laughingly refer to as light

  8. Andean Cock-of-the-Rocks are often said to pair with a buddy to do their display, altho only one of them will mate if a female does happen to stumble along

    in this large lek of 15+ males, i did see some buddy system going on with 2s & 3s often dancing in the same tree + i also saw 5 males in 1 tree displaying together

    with the heavy forest, i struggled quite a bit just to show 2 of them together unobstructed...

  10. be glad it wasn't an eagle nest, this poor boo would've been cooked & eaten whole in a flash but Osprey seem to be obligate fish eaters & can't take other prey when it stumbles in out of the sky....

  16. for #WildlifeWednesday i have dug out more of my Marvelous Spatuletail photos & have decided to develop this one. The sunlight coming through the forest made this photo a bit challenging but it also lit up the glittering crown and throat feathers...

  24. "u have to feed me, i'm only little, what d'ya mean i'm bigger than u are, u think i don't see u hiding in that tree over there w/ your foot up for a snooze! this is baby birb abuse" -- very noisy food-begging Yellow-headed Caracara

    this "little" dude was hilarious, birb's just as big & capable as the nearby parent but don't tell birb that...
