Brolga "were once spread throughout swampy wetland areas, but as land was drained for farming activities, their numbers declined. All of these factors, wetland loss, degradation and climate change are all playing a factor and limiting the habitats and conditions brolgas are having to live with." https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10-11/brolga-study-genetic-differences-victoria-climate-change/107207286 #birds #brolga #wetland #degradation #FossilFuels #loss

Day 282 #365project A wee bit later than usual today. Just got back from a double feature: Other Mommy (fast paced and fun but the book was better) and The Craft (classic 90s nonsense... "We are the weirdos, mister.") But just about managed to hop across the way from the cinema beforehand to squeeze in a couple of shots for today's 365 challenge. Edited in the car on the way home.

Good morning youngins! I have a bit of a challenge, if you're brave enough 😉 I've tried every trick I can think of and cannot get below 18 seconds on the Pot Luck quiz! I don't think it can be done. Prove me wrong! BirdBrainer.app 🦜 The General Assembly of Connecticut decided on American Robin as the state bird in 1943. While the name Robin is related to a lot of birds, in case of North America, it is the Thrush. Common Birds of Connecticut #birds #BirdBrainer #quiz #Connecticut

It's gonna be a crow-tastic day ~ beak-cause I said so! We have the House Crow under the spotlight ~ a corvis with a lot of caw-titude! Did you know: Crows, ravens, and parrots have the biggest brain-to-body size ratios of all living bird species. They’ve shown levels of cognition that put them on par with the great apes 🧠 🐦‍⬛ Ornithologist Kevin McGowan hates the phrase "murder of crows". To him, it only feeds the public’s negative outlook on the animals. “These birds aren’t a gang of nasty villains,”. “These birds are just birds.” 😳 🐦‍⬛ House Crows are preyed upon by hawks, eagles, owls, monkeys, and snakes. Oof! 🐦‍⬛ A House crow’s nest weighs as much as an impressive 55 pounds! Usually the female builds the nest on her own 💪 🐦‍⬛ BirdBrainer Daily Challenge — Oct 10, 2026 ✅ Got it! 🔥 14 day streak Play at https://birdbrainer.app #birdbrainerapp #birdbrainer #birds Bird of the Day House Crow Corvus splendens Photo credit: Frank Priscus Shirima

🔥 NEW: Ecologist Olivia Sanderfoot at #Cornell is building a new field she calls smoke #ecology, asking how #wildfire smoke affects birds even hundreds of kilometers from any flames. #Birds breathe roughly twice as much air as #humans per breath, using rigid lungs and air sacs, so smoke hits them harder. Sanderfoot is combining atmospheric #chemistry, satellite #data, and thousands of volunteer nest-box observers to track what birds do when #smoke arrives. 👉 https://www.npr.org/2026/10/06/nx-s1-5991854/wildfire-smoke-ecology-birds-wildlife-health #ecology #ornithology #climate #conservation #bluebirds #science #wildlife #nature #birding #research #animals
