Laser focus! The intensity in this Little Blue Heron's gaze was incredible as it stalked through the Everglades reeds, completely absorbed in the hunt for its next meal.

There were many comings and goings of the female hummingbird while the fledgling sat below alternately begging, having momma feet on/in its mouth, or doing seated gymnastics. Is this a momma bird telling the baby its feedings are numbered? #birds #bird #hummingbird #birdbehavior #ornithology

Feather by feather, twig by twig — a life built with patience.
There’s something sacred about watching a home being made.

The spoonbills in Cronesteyn have laid eggs, some of those have even already hatched but the gathering of sticks continues. Spoonbills love sticks even more than dogs do. #birds #netherlands #spoonbills #nestingseason #birdbehavior

Speaking of mouths to feed, the spoonbills in Cronesteyn, Leiden, are way ahead of the storks, with chicks growing at an amazing rate and about to fledge. Feeding the ravenous young is a Sisyphean task. #spoonbills #cronesteyn #birds #netherlands #leiden #birdbehavior

Around the world, birds sing longer in light-polluted areas
In light-polluted landscapes, birds' singing time is an average of 50 minutes longer per day. It's still unclear if this hurts bird health or helps.

As soon as one parent returns to the nest the other takes off in search of food, at times flying right past me. It’s always impressive to see these big birds fly. #netherlands #birds #storks #birdbehavior #cronesteyn #leiden

Our sweet little Bewick’s Wrens have been territorial recently where fights break out. Yesterday was a full-out brawl where they got stuck & were rolling around on the ground. By the time I got my shoes & went to help them they finally broke free. #birdbehavior #bewickswren

Final check-in with the guinea fowl grads. It’s dark and they’re still near the grow out pen. Hoping they don’t decide to roost on the barn or inside it. So far so good.

Some male birds attract females by growing and showing colorful feathers. This peacock's elaborate tail and iridescent feathers showcase his fitness (it takes a lot of energy to grow and maintain those feathers) to potential mates. #birdbehavior #bemyvalentine #haikubox

It’s unseasonably warm today and I noticed this young White-crowned Sparrow doing some sunning in my yard. It’s the first time I’ve seen this behavior from the species. It was followed by vigorous preening. #addBirder #birds #birdbehavior
