  1. Im #Garten:

    Die #Elster,
    in ihrem schmucken #Federkleid akribisch
    jedes #Blatt wendend...

    Sie erinnert mich an einen altehrwürdigen
    Herren, der im #Frack gemessenen Schrittes,
    die Hände auf dem Rücken verschränkt,
    durch den Ballsaal oder die Ausstellung
    geht und aufmerksam alles betrachtet.

  2. Le grand corbeau présente un plumage irisé aux reflets bleus. Pour rendre cela en aquarelle, j’ai choisi d’appliquer un fond bleu avant toute chose, puis un noir bleuté plein de nuances… 🖌️💙
    Cet oiseau mythique est très présent dans le Grand Nord.
    Il a d’ailleurs inspiré de nombreuses légendes inuit. Loin d’être un symbole de malheur, il est pour les peuples du Nord le porteur de la lumière qui revient après la longue nuit hivernale. ✨🌌

  4. New research finds #fluorescence in feathers of Long-eared Owls
    phys.org/news/2025-04-fluoresc

    Fluorescent pigment concentration correlated with age, sex, and size in #LongEaredOwl (Asio otus) plumage tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10

    "female Long-eared #Owls have a much higher concentration of these pigments in their feathers, challenging a common misconception that colorful #plumage is a male trait... We are only beginning to describe fluorescent pigments in #birds and other vertebrates"

  5. Genome Sequencing Shows Kākāpō Evolved Two Plumage Colors To Evade Predators

    "Genomic sequencing of almost all living kākāpō reveals they evolved two different plumage colors to avoid the sharp eyes of their avian predators."

  8. #Parrot #plumage study aids breeders and endangered natural populations genestogenomes.org/parrot-plum

    Mutations in SLC45A2 lead to loss of #melanin in parrot #feathers academic.oup.com/g3journal/art

    "Blue and yellow #pigmentation combine to create the green hue—which blends well with the tree #canopy—most commonly seen in wild parrots. In contrast, yellow alone is a popular color for captive-bred #birds. New study investigates the molecular basis of yellow color variations in three species of #parrots."

  9. Carlson & Stoddard introduce a 3D pattern morphospace built from biologically relevant pattern features to describe the evolution of plumage patterns in melanerpine woodpeckers. This framework can be applied to other animal taxa as well.

  10. A Snowy #Egret at the St Augustine Alligator Farm and #Zoological #Park; a busy place for nesting #waterfowl like the #SnowyEgret since the many alligators in the waters below keep the #tree-top nests of the #birds safe from other predators.
    This egret is in its high breeding #plumage and seems to be trying to attract a mate.

  11. I wear #makeup. Not every day, and rarely a "full face."

    Some days, it's like mating
    #plumage on birds: "These rich colors are here to attract attention."

    Most days, it's like the bright colorings on Amazonian
    #TreeFrogs: "I'll kill you, and look stunning while doing so."
