Dear #bird Mastodon, I just recently moved, and our new place has very large plate glass windows that look out onto a wooded area. Very nice view, but obviously a death trap for birds... We've unfortunately already had two fatal collisions since we moved in. I can't change the windows in the short term, so I'm searching for a quick solution. I could do an array of stick on reflectors, but I wanted to check with you on this "bird pen" (see photo). The idea is that you draw lines with a marker that absorb in the UV but not in the visible, so the birds see it but people don't. Sounds nice... but does it really work? @CoopSciScoop@mastodon.social @travislongcore@fediscience.org

Now THIS is a winter migration spectacle! Thousands of Snow Geese fill the sky above a field crowded with Sandhill Cranes along New Mexico's Rio Grande bosque. The sheer number of birds is incredible, and the sound of all those wings and calls is something a photograph can never quite capture. One of my favorite winter sights in New Mexico! https://rhfineartgallery.etsy.com/listing/4423995387/snow-geese-and-sandhill-cranes-new #newmexico #birds #wildlife #bird #birdlovers #nature #naturephotography #buyintoart #photography #photo #art

What if, we put tiny bird in bird bath? In reality, Baked Beans had just refused a mist shower (something birds often like) and instead decided to jump into the water bowl after the keepers left. #BakedBeansOwl #owl #owls #screechowl #screechowls #zoo #animals #animal #bird

For reference, here's a picture of Tony the Tawny Frogmouth getting a mist bath. He is not, in fact an owl. He is from Australia and is a type of nightjar, a family shared by whippoorwills. I adore tawny frogmouths. They look like Muppets. When they're not doing anything and want you to mind your own business, that act like a vertical log. And are very good at it. #bird #birds #nightjar #TawnyFrogmouth #zoo #animal #animals
