: The Eurasian siskin (Spinus spinus, syn.: Carduelis spinus) is a bird species in the subfamily Carduelinae. Siskins are relatively small finches, measuring 12 centimeters in length and with a wingspan of 20 to 23 centimeters. They weigh 12 to 15 grams. Eurasian siskins are found throughout Europe, with the exception of Iceland and the northern edge of Scandinavia. They also live in North and East Asia, as well as in the Near and Middle East. They prefer alder and birch seeds, but will also eat other seeds, most commonly from trees, as well as nuts and sometimes insects.
: Der Erlenzeisig (Spinus spinus, Syn.: Carduelis spinus) ist eine Vogelart aus der Unterfamilie der Stieglitzartigen (Carduelinae). Erlenzeisige sind mit 12 Zentimetern relativ kleine Finken, ihre Flügelspannweite beträgt 20 bis 23 Zentimeter. Sie werden 12 bis 15 Gramm schwer. Erlenzeisige kommen mit Ausnahme von Island und dem nördlichen Rand Skandinaviens in ganz Europa vor. Außerdem leben sie in Nord- und Ostasien sowie im Nahen und Mittleren Osten. Sie ernähren sich am liebsten von Erlen- und Birkensamen, fressen aber auch andere Samen, am häufigsten von Bäumen, sowie Nüsse und manchmal Insekten.

Believe it or not, but he was maybe 10 to 15 meters away from me.

#DidYouKnow that The Bateleur eagle (Terathopius ecaudatus) derived its name from the French word for "tightrope walker," which reflects its graceful, acrobatic flight patterns?

Thrasher In A Tangle by Debra Martz
This Long-billed Thrasher seemed to be in a tangle of branches, limbs, and berries! I wondered how on earth it landed among all this. It was happily perched and singing its song of a jumble of tunes.
I captured this image at the Rio Grande Bentsen State Park in south Texas.

: The goosander (Mergus merganser) is the largest member of the genus of mergansers in the family of ducks (Anatidae). Its distribution area is the Holarctic and includes large parts of northern Eurasia and North America. With a body length of 58–68 cm and a wingspan of 78–94 cm, goosander are significantly larger than mallards. The Red List of breeding birds in Germany classifies the species as „endangered“ (level 3). There are around 60,000 breeding pairs in Europe, around 25,000 in Finland and around 850 to 1,000 in Germany.: Der Gänsesäger (Mergus merganser) ist der größte Vertreter der Gattung der Säger aus der Familie der Entenvögel (Anatidae). Das Verbreitungsgebiet ist die Holarktis und umfasst weite Teile des nördlichen Eurasiens und Nordamerikas. Gänsesäger sind mit einer Körperlänge von 58–68 cm und einer Flügelspannweite von 78–94 cm deutlich größer als Stockenten. Die Rote Liste der Brutvögel Deutschlands stuft die Art als „gefährdet“ (Stufe 3) ein. In Europa gibt es ungefähr 60.000 Brutpaare, in Finnland etwa 25.000, in Deutschland rund 850 bis 1.000.Bavaria: #photoshot #animals #animalphotography #wildlife #canon #canoneosr7 #geoleserfoto #birdphotography #bird #birds #birdlovers #vogel #vögel #vogelfotografie #birdies #shotoncanon #zwitscherfoto #morebirdpics #goosander #gänsesäger

"This is a fantastic video, it's about the relatively recent and vital discovery of the importance of biofilm, that green slime on the surface of mudflats.
It seems that this substance is invaluable to migrating waders and, in this case, particularly to the delightful Western Sandpiper, a declining species. The video highlights their reliance on this food source for their very survival. Without it, they would be malnourished, meaning most would not be able to complete their migration and many would simply die. This would cause a decline in the population since, as a species. they would not be able to breed in sufficient numbers to maintain the population, which ultimately could lead to their extinction. Roberts Bank in British Columbia, Canada is a globally classified Important Bird Area and a key stopover for Western Sandpipers. Distressingly, its mudflats and their biofilm covering, are threatened by the proposed expansion of the Fraser Port Authority, the so-called Roberts Bank T-2 development. If allowed to go ahead this would mean additional significant habitat loss that would further endanger the species. This situation typifies a wider crisis affecting waders across the planet, highlighting the urgent need for collaboration among researchers, conservationists, and communities to protect these vital ecosystems, and the species that use them, which are becoming increasingly at risk of extinction."
