White-breasted Nuthatches forage up, down, and sideways over tree trunks and around large branches. They probe into bark crevices or chip away at wood to find food, often storing seeds and insects one at a time under loose bark on their territory. You can find them at woodland edges and in open areas with large trees, such as parks, wooded suburbs, and yards. White-breasted Nuthatches are monogamous birds that live in pairs year round chasing other nuthatches from their territory. If you are interested in getting these North American songbirds to visit your backyard you can attract them by offering large nuts such as sunflower and peanuts, and by putting out suet. #allureduniverse #outdoors #nature #wildlife #animalbehavior #WhitebreastedNuthatches #nativespecies #americanexpedition #northamerica #discoverwildlife #allaboutbirds #thecornelllab #naturephotography #conservation #awareness #wildlifeconservation #Sittacarolinensis #scienceiscool #alwayslearning #johnheinzwildliferefuge #gooutandexplore #themoreyouknow #facts #canonpowershotsx530hs (at John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge At Tinicum)

When breeding time comes around each year, the spring, the peacock will try to impress the peahen as much as possible. Apart from displaying his feathers and train, he will also guard his territory and make loud noise to ward off other males. The peacock’s feathers have microscopic structures that appear like crystals and the purpose of the large train, the ornamental feathers, is for courtship displays and mating rituals. A peacock’s train only develops after three years. 🦚 #allureduniverse #outdoors #nature #wildlife #animalbehavior #discoverwildlife #peacocking #peafowl #naturephotography #conservation #awareness #Pavocristatus #factsnet #biodiversity #wildlifeconservation #thefactsite #scienceiscool #pavoreal #alwayslearning #philadelphiazoo #gooutandexplore #peacock #themoreyouknow #facts #canonpowershotsx530hs (at Philadelphia Zoo) https://www.instagram.com/p/CN2ew4gsCKg/?igshid=jgnk5bjxgxd0

Did you ever wonder why some ducks have curly tails (feathers)? A mature drake, male duck, will often display one or more curled feathers right at the top of his tail. Drakes usually develop this feather when they get their adult plumage, around 8-12 weeks of age. The voice of a duck is the most accurate indicator of gender, but if a duck is out of earshot, or just plain refuses to talk, you can sometimes determine their sex by the appearance of their tail feathers. If you see any curled tail feathers, you are most likely looking at a drake. There are rare occasions when a hen, female duck, will sprout a deceptive curly tail feather. This tends to occur when there are no drakes in the flock. Sometimes one hen will temporarily take on a mock-drake roll. Also keep in mind that drakes molt their tail feathers once a year. If you are looking at the tail feathers of a duck during this time, you may be temporarily fooled into believing you are seeing a hen--until a new tail feather grows back in anyway. 🦆 #allureduniverse #outdoors #nature #wildlife #animalbehavior #discoverwildlife #duck #streicherduck #abacotranger #mankymallard #magesticwaterfowl #browndrake #naturephotography #conservation #awareness #wildlifeconservation #bufforpingtonduck #hearthandhaven #scienceiscool #alwayslearning #gooutandexplore #themoreyouknow #facts #canonpowershotsx530hs (at Darby Creek) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNYqAMLsKuS/?igshid=13tgoqtlwz83k

The spotted lanternfly causes serious damage including oozing sap, wilting, leaf curling and dieback in trees, vines, crops and many other types of plants. In addition to plant damage, when spotted lanternflies feed, they excrete a sugary substance, called honeydew, that encourages the growth of black sooty mold. This mold is harmless to people however it causes damage to plants.  If you see a spotted lanternfly, it's imperative to immediately report it online or via phone by calling 1-888-4BADFLY.  Especially if you are not inside the quarantine zone. What else? Kill it! Squash it, smash it...just get rid of it. #allureduniverse #outdoors #nature #wildlife #animalbehavior #heavenlytree #treeofheaven #Ailanthusaltissima #discoverwildlife #biodiversity #naturephotography #conservation #awareness #wildlifeconservation #scienceiscool #alwayslearning #gooutandexplore #badfly #pennsylvaniadepartmentofagriculture #spottedlanternfly #slf #Lycormadelicatula #themoreyouknow #facts #canonpowershotsx530hs (at Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPbfpr8s2wJ/?utm_medium=tumblr

The plant’s unusually quick response to touch is due to rapid water release from specialized cells located at the bases of leaflet and leaf stalks. The leaves reopen in several minutes, and it is thought that this adaptation is a defense against browsing herbivores who may be startled by the movement. In addition to its response to physical stimuli, the leaves also droop in response to darkness and reopen with daylight, a phenomenon known as nyctinastic movement. #allureduniverse #outdoors #nature #wildlife #animalbehavior #sensitiveplant #britannica #morivivi #Mimosapudica #shameplant #discoverwildlife #biodiversity #naturephotography #conservation #awareness #wildlifeconservation #tbt #scienceiscool #alwayslearning #gooutandexplore #themoreyouknow #facts #canonpowershotsx530hs https://www.instagram.com/p/CPZakWfA_b1/?utm_medium=tumblr

Northern Cardinals are classified as granivorous animals because they live on a diet consisting of mostly seeds. Their short, stout, cone-shaped beaks are specially designed to crack open the hulls on seeds and shells on nuts. #allureduniverse #outdoors #nature #wildlife #animalbehavior #Cardinaliscardinalis #discoverwildlife #biodiversity #naturephotography #conservation #awareness #wildlifeconservation #scienceiscool #alwayslearning #birdwatchinghq #gooutandexplore #notherncardinal #themoreyouknow #facts #backyardfinds #canonpowershotsx530hs https://www.instagram.com/p/CPJFEulszWv/?utm_medium=tumblr

Woodpeckers peck into trees in search of food or to create a nesting site. They also "drum," or peck in a rapid rhythmic succession to establish their territory and attract mates. Drumming usually occurs in the spring on metal or wood resonant surfaces. It may occur a number of times during a single day, and last for days or months. Most woodpeckers live year-round in the same area. They are very persistent and not easily driven from their established territory. #allureduniverse #outdoors #nature #wildlife #animalbehavior #discoverwildlife #biodiversity #naturephotography #conservation #awareness #wildlifeconservation #fws #scienceiscool #darbycreek #alwayslearning #gooutandexplore #woodpecker #themoreyouknow #facts #canonpowershotsx530hs https://www.instagram.com/p/CO_HGjgMiLX/?igshid=1vh2p66mdtzaz

The most attractive part of a bleeding heart plant is its flowers. Native to China, Japan and certain other regions of Asia, these plants are now grown in various parts of the world, for ornamental purposes. It is one of those poisonous ornamental plants and it is not advisable to ingest any part of this plant. The bleeding heart has various other names like lyre’s flower, lady in a bath, Venus’s car and Dutchman’s trousers. Being deciduous in nature, these plants lie dormant after the blooming season, but grows back the next spring. 💗 What is your favorite flower? I would love to know 🙂 #allureduniverse #outdoors #nature #wildlife #animalbehavior #backyardfinds #discoverwildlife #biodiversity #naturephotography #conservation #awareness #wildlifeconservation #scienceiscool #alwayslearning #gooutandexplore #mygarden #asianbleedingheart #Lamprocapnosspectabilis #bleedingheartplant #gardennerdy #themoreyouknow #facts #canonpowershotsx530hs https://www.instagram.com/p/COgrr0_M18p/?igshid=9l7c2wteccny
