What bird is this? 🤔 (See alt text for clue) 🌍 #whatbird | #birdsoftheworld | #birds 🦉

A photo of a stocky, medium-sized bird (28–30 cm / 11–12 in long), perched sideways on a curved tree branch. It has a creamy, pale tan head and chest, a dark brown back, and vibrant royal blue and teal feathers on its lower body and wings, with a strong, heavy black beak.

Clue: With a crown of cream and wings of brilliant cobalt, this West African acrobat is named after its signature aerial acrobatic displays!

Fun Fact: To impress a potential mate, both sexes perform high-speed aerial somersaults and roll side-to-side through the sky while calling out raucously!

A watercolour painting that I did without a pre-sketch of a Red Cardinal also known as a Northern Cardinal perched on a branch. Feathers are bright red and dark orange with distinctive long dark magenta tail feathers. Beak is a light orange. The feathers stick up on the crown of the bird. Background is a light green-blue.

🌍🌏 Eurasian pygmy owl (Glaucidium passerinum)

The Eurasian pygmy owl is a small owl species found in the boreal forests of northern Eurasia. With a round head that often appears flattened, short tail, and yellow eyes, it has a distinct appearance. Its plumage varies, but it generally has a brownish-grey colouration with white spots and streaks. It is known for its agile flight and ability to mimic other birds' calls. The Eurasian pygmy owl primarily feeds on small birds, insects, and rodents. It inhabits various forested habitats, including coniferous and mixed woodlands. Two subspecies are recognised.

Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1)

What bird is this? 🤔 (See alt text for clue) 🌏 #whatbird | #birdsoftheworld | #birds 🦉

A front-facing, close-up portrait photo of a medium-to-large, nocturnal raptor (45–57 cm / 18–22 in long) perched on a wooden beam against a dark background. It features striking, dark round eyes framed by a rufous-brown facial disc with distinctive white, eyebrow-like markings and a sharp, light-coloured beak. Its body has fine horizontal brown-and-white barring along its chest, transitioning to rich brown wing feathers.

Clue: I am a large, earless forest predator native to South and Southeast Asia, named after my rich, timber-toned feathers and woodland home.

Fun Fact: When threatened or disturbed while roosting during the day, this secretive nocturnal hunter will stand completely still, pull its feathers in tight, and compress its body to camouflage itself as a broken tree branch or stub of wood!

An early-returning species to northern Colorado, the Mountain Bluebird (Sialia currucoides) is remarkably hardy while being distinctive and beautiful. This male was at 7,200 ft but they are also known to breed in areas above treeline, about 12,000 ft. #birds #birdsoftheworld #evergreen #bluebird
