Can you imagine being that bird? You see a big falling dot off in the distance, so you go to investigate. And it’s a human. Just, like, hanging out, in the middle of the sky. Plumbing toward earth at terminal velocity.
“Huh, that’s weird” you think to yourself.
You land on them. They seem nonplussed by their predicament.
But you’re a busy bird, you’ve got places to be. So you just fly off. Good luck, crazy human. Hope you make it.
Who is a fan of birds? Whether you are a beginner or a veteran birder, you can find a wondrous variety of birds in Saguaro National Park in Arizona. From birds that are adapted to the extremes of the desert, to birds that prefer the tall pines of the mountains, over 200 species of birds live in or migrate through the park. This owl family looks quite at home in the crook of a large saguaro. Photo courtesy of Jeremy Johnson.
November 14, 2018 – White-rumped Swift or African White-rumped Swift (Apus caffer)
Found in Spain, Portugal, Morocco, and much of central, eastern, and some of western Africa, these swifts migrate only in the north and south areas of their range. They eat a variety of small flying insects, including winged ants. Often reusing the nests of some swallow species and of Little Swifts, they may also build their own nests on rock-faces or buildings. They use their saliva to glue feathers, down, and plant matter together to form their shallow cup nests or to line the reused nests.
the azure jay is a large, blue corvid native to a small range in south america. mainly feeding on the seeds of the auracaria tree, the jays are omnivores and will opportunistically take fruit, eggs, and insects. while similar to several other species, their size and black head and throat are ways to distinguish them. like other corvids, azure jays are social flock birds that are known for intelligence and problem-solving behaviors.
