Great Backyard Bird Off - Europe (poll 9)

Bird Info & Submission Reasons

Eurasian Green Woodpecker (Picus viridis)

"I like their intense eyes and assertive calls"

"Oh, the beautiful green woodpecker! So very pretty with their plumage and the little red spots in their face (that are p much the safest way to tell if you're dealing with a male or a female). They're also pretty weird cuties. Their call sounds like a very high human laugh and scares the bajeezus out of me when I go on walks. They're the only woodpecker in Europe that primarily eats ants too, so when you see them digging around in the grass, you probably got a whole lot of ants in there! When birdbanding, we caught two on one day and lemme tell you, holding one very close does bring that modern dinosaur vibe to bird banding much more compared to the songbirds who are very high alert and quick in their movements. Like all birds though, they're incredibly lovable 😊💚"

also found in Turkiye and portions of the Middle East

Spotless Starling (Sturnus unicolor)

"Look everyone knows the common starling theyre pretty cool. But have you seen their cousin the spotless starling??? Their range is more restricted than the common starling and they are stunningggg"

Dark purple starling without any spots in summer. Same size and shape as European Starling. In winter can show some restricted pale spotting below but still very uniform. Found in short grassy areas, farms, parks, and gardens. The song is similar to European Starling, including lots of mimicry. Nests in cavities. (eBird)

also found in northern Africa, mostly Morocco and Tunisia

Got to help out with some birdbanding today!!

Caught last, this feisty lil Carolina Wren, Thryothorus ludovicianus.

Notorious squirmers known for escaping the bag when you try to take them out for measuring but we got our data from this one and a lil paparazzi moment!

Caught two Carolina Chickadees, Poecile carolinensis.

We believe they were a mating pair, didn't get photos of the second which was a lady but she was building an egg which we could see through her brood patch!! It was wild! We let her go pretty quickly after.

And also our lil Chipping Sparrow, Spizella passerina.

Our permit allows us to play calls under very specific conditions and when I played one from my phone before setting it up on the blue tooth speaker this lil dude dive bombed my head! He was stays ready apparently!

Another Red headed woodpecker! Lovely molt limit on this Baltimore Oriole.

It’s #WorldMouseDay…this one has a pretty cool job, to help catch raptors (birds of prey) for scientific research! Don’t worry, the mouse does NOT get harmed, & neither does the bird! NB: All trap setting, wildlife capture, handling, ringing/tagging, & release done under proper permits & only by those with appropriate training/experience. #mouse #rodent #balchatri #birdsofprey #raptors #birdringing #birdbanding #research #fancymouse #mammals (at Krakeelrivier, Eastern Cape, South Africa) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHiicDTgPbz/?igshid=1y1pwrteecbu1

Rough-legged hawk (Buteo

lagopus) release

*handled with appropriate state and federal permits, captured and released for banding research*

[wary-cassowary]

Hey! Sorry I haven’t been posting this week. I’m at my grandma’s house in Eastern Oregon. Tomorrow, I’ll be doing something I’ve dreamed about since second grade: going bird banding! Bird banding is the process of catching wild birds and attaching metal bands to their legs, so that the migration patterns of birds can be tracked and their populations can be monitored. It’s absolutely crucial to bird conservation. I’ve been invited to tag along with the professor of Ornithology at Eastern Oregon University at her banding station tomorrow. I’m so excited! I don’t know how much photography I’ll get to do, but definitely watch my story tomorrow. I’ll be getting up at 3:30 AM. 😱😱😱 Wish me some good birds (and the strength to get up at such an ungodly hour 😁). . Until I get back to painting here’s some serious hawk sketches and one not so serious. . . . . #bird #birding #birb #birdbanding #art #birdsofprey #artwork #artist #artistsoninstagram #pencildrawing #drawing #sketch #sketchbook #myart (at La Grande, Oregon)

Finally got the chance to help band rosy-finches again with the UDWR! Lucky enough to get a recap from 2019 or 2020 while we were at it . Handled and banded with proper permits and training! . . #rosyfinch #powdermountain #birds #wildlife #birdbanding #snow #fieldwork #fieldresearch #utah (at Powder Mountain Resort) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cbc5OL0Lsqc/?utm_medium=tumblr
