@evornithology When people ask "what's your favorite bird?" By category is the only correct answer

The bird based colour system that eventually became Pantone. An effort to describe the diversity of birds led to one of the first modern colour systems ….this is wonderful. ( well I think so)

Wouldn't have believed this if I hadn't seen it... Mama Gambel's #quail has ALL SIXTEEN of her newly hatched chicks beneath her (until a few escape). Papa stood guard while she stayed that way a good 10 minutes.

There are fungi at Chernobyl that EAT radiation and nuclear fallout – and that’s only the start of this wild story 🍄☢️ Buckle up for a wild thread about radioactive boars, fungal space suits, radiation-detecting fungi, black frogs and a good dose of hope! 🧵

American Woodcocks have complete 360° visual coverage above the horizontal plane. Even at the horizontal, they only have a 1° blind spot behind their head (figure: Martin et al. 1994). The Mallard actually has them beat, with complete panoramic vision in the horizontal plane!

Absolutely insane *back of head* American Woodcock photo from Karim Bouzidi (@southshore_raptors on Insta) on the eBird homepage right now. Again, this is the *back* of this bird's head. ebird.org/checklist/S166…

So...Mammals normally store fat under the skin in an even layer, but camels evolved to pile fat in one spot, so the rest of their bodies can stay cool in the desert. Why don't other desert animals do this? Well, they do.... but for some reason, we never talk about them..... 🧵🧵

@YouTooBio I'd love to see your figure gallery! I do this too, working through multiple figures per week. It's so cool that a student is explicitly recognizing it!

@beccmel2 Birds are endothermic, but some reptiles are too (to least during breeding seasons), like pythons and tegu. Bird feathers are thought to evolve for temperature regulation, and since dragon wings are leathery I say reptile :)
