Are there any #ornithologists ? I have a dumb question about sparrows (both house sparrow and eurasian tree sparrow).

Near 3 days ago, I saw a lot of sparrows on the streets. Also a lot of them flew to my window to eat some seeds. Despite the air temperature was near 0°C.

But suddenly, after one night all sparrows are disappeared from the streets — I see no one, only another species: crows, wagtails and tits.

First, I thought that all sparrows are migrated somewhere. But from Wikipedia I learned that they may migrate only to nearby rural areas to eat some insects, if there are no food in the city. But (again) in my district are enough bird feeders with food.

So I really have a question — where (and why) are all the sparrows flew?  I live at the outskirts of city with a big count of trees and a small forest nearby, so looks like here should be good conditions for birds

Any #ornithologists on here?
#Bird song identification needed.

Quiz time for #birders #twitchers and #ornithologists

Can you guess the bird from this visual representation of their call?

Sweden's #MooseMigration Live Stream makes international news! 😄

"It became, in a strange way, gripping because nothing catastrophic is happening, nothing spectacular is happening," she said. "But something very beautiful is happening in that minute-by-minute moment."

I have heard of #Birders (#ornithologists), but... #moose?... What do you call those watching moose, "Moosers," or simply Swedes? 🤷‍♂️

Extreme elevational migration spurred cryptic speciation in giant #hummingbirds https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2313599121

"The northern population stays in the high #Andes year-round while the southern population migrates from sea level up to 14,000 feet (~4,300 m) for the nonbreeding months. The two species appear identical. But looks deceive—their genomes and behaviors tell a different story."
