Nocturnal migratory #birds follow rhythm of the moon https://phys.org/news/2026-05-nocturnal-migratory-birds-rhythm-moon.html

Moonlight drives the energy balance and annual cycle of a nocturnal forager https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.aed8204

"Moonlight determines when the red-necked #nightjar feeds, migrates and raises its young... the bird's entire annual cycle follows the moon's rhythm... when the moon is full, the bird can hunt insects for much of the night. When it is dark, it is instead forced to rely on brief hunting opportunities at dusk and dawn."

For reference, here's a picture of Tony the Tawny Frogmouth getting a mist bath.
He is not, in fact an owl. He is from Australia and is a type of nightjar, a family shared by whippoorwills.
I adore tawny frogmouths. They look like Muppets. When they're not doing anything and want you to mind your own business, that act like a vertical log. And are very good at it.

A family of nightjars on the South Downs heathland in southern England, UK. The elusive nightjar has made a remarkable comeback in the South Downs national park following conservation efforts: itโ€™s thought their numbers have doubled in the past five years.

A great eared night jar from the perspective of a bug in a log.

I tried to make use of a brush called โ€œauroraโ€ on procreate, itโ€™s an odd brush but it has really nice color variation and texture.

It seems Schloss Dagstuhl expects birds to be deterred from window collisions by the sight of a #nightjar - surely one of the least threatening medium-sized birds - even if they are really the trapped #souls of unbaptised children, doomed for all eternity to blind #goats ...
