🌏 Tawny frogmouth (Podargus strigoides) 

Tawny frogmouths are stocky, medium-sized nocturnal birds with mottled grey, white, black and rufous plumage, providing excellent camouflage as tree branches. They have wide, frog-like mouths and large yellow eyes. Found throughout Australia and Tasmania in diverse habitats, they are often mistaken for owls. During the day, they roost camouflaged on branches, remaining still. At night, they hunt insects, worms, and small vertebrates by pouncing from perches or catching them in flight. They are generally sedentary and often mate for life. When threatened, they may hiss or adopt a stiff, branch-like posture. Three subspecies are recognised.

Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1)

The kea is a highly intelligent and endangered species of parrot native to New Zealand. Known for its vibrant plumage, it is a large, olive-green bird with a brilliant orange under its wings. It has a long and narrow, curved, grey-brown beak. Renowned for its playful and inquisitive nature, it is often observed engaging in complex problem-solving behaviors. Keas are primarily found in mountain regions, where they feed on a variety of plant matter, insects, and carrion. Despite their remarkable adaptability and intelligence, keas face threats from habitat loss, introduced predators, and human activities. 

Conservation status: Endangered (IUCN 3.1)

Few better illustrate the taxonomic uncertainties of “basal passerid oscines” than the Satinbirds. Long considered birds-of-paradise, their unique characteristics have earned them their own family. Among them is the striking Crested Satinbird, a result of recent taxonomic lumping! buff.ly/3WKA7Y3

my hummingbird friend is enjoying the snow! #photography #digitalphotography #winter #snow #birds
A small hummingbird perched on a bare, slender branch in the foreground. The hummingbird has iridescent green and pink feathers on its body and head, with a shiny, dark eye and a slender, pointed beak. A small snowflake rests on top of its head. The background is blurred, with streaks of falling rain and numerous droplets clinging to the branches, accentuating the overcast atmosphere. The branches crisscross diagonally across the composition, creating a sense of depth and framing the bird. The overall color palette consists of muted browns, grays, and soft whites, highlighting the vibrant colors of the hummingbird.
