Frage an das #birdiverse :

Habe gelesen, dass getrocknete Mehlwürmer für die Küken gefährlich sein können. Könnte man nun lebende Mehlwürmer auf die (beobachtete) Wiese streuen zur Selbstbedienung? Was könnte alles dagegen sprechen?

Okay #Birdiverse! It’s time again to play #WhatTheDuck !?

I snapped a few photos of this distant bird among ring-necked ducks. Looking at my first fuzzy photos I thought: okay, her head is weirdly dark but there’s a band on the bill: she’s a ring-necked. Then I found a less fuzzy photo. No eye ring, and…color blocks on her head?! Who IS she? Is she a hybrid? Natural variation?

(Fig 1: weird RND
Fig 2: weird RND with male
Fig 3: Normal female RNDs and a male under same conditions.)

I keep remembering that quote toots aren’t a thing. So… if you’re typically using a 3rd-party #Birdiverse app that’s not working, may I recommend a sort-of fix @viticci enlightened me to this week (via the always quality MacStories newsletter)…

Feedbin, the RSS service that’s worth way more than the $5/month they charge, enables subscriptions to both Twitter users and Twitter lists. So you can keep up with all that noise outside of the trash fires that are the native experiences.

Little bro is more photogenic in one feather than I’ll ever be in my whole life.
