Ablenkverhalten: Die Singdrossel erschrak erst vor mir. Doch statt zu flüchten, setzte sie sich direkt vor mir auf den Busch. Als ich glotzend stehen blieb, hüpfte sie noch klarer ins Bild.

Endlich kapierte ich, dass sie alle Blicke auf sich zog, damit niemand das Nest im Busch findet. Den Feind vom Nest weg zu locken, ist ein beliebter Teil der Tarnung. Also war ich nett und lief sofort davon. Man will ja nicht stören.

"my littles are the best littles, have u ever seen anything so cute!" -- black-billed thrush

this species makes it easy to photograph nests without disturbing the little families because they love to nest near humans, this nest is in the corner of a restaurant with a large outdoor dining section

there were 4 in the nest but all 4 were never awake at the same time! ❤️

Robins Rest

Here is a photo of an American Robin (Turdus migratorius). It occurred to me that I’d never photographed one on a sunny day. They’re year‑round residents here, but I mostly only see them around this time of year. I took this photo in the spring of 2023.

Step into a world where even the smallest moments—like the glint in a bird's eye—tell their own story.

Convergence in the canopy: Why the Gracixalus weii treefrog sounds like a songbird https://phys.org/news/2026-03-convergence-canopy-gracixalus-weii-treefrog.html paper: https://herpetozoa.pensoft.net/article/175324/

"the call of G. weii is remarkably similar to a chirp commonly performed by the Black-Breasted #Thrush of the same region... Similarities like these have frequently led researchers to underestimate #frog populations... #evolution of acoustic symbols in #amphibians could be influenced by broad ecological interactions, including with #birds"
