Gorge yourself on the photos of these "gorgets"—the glittering feathers on the throats of many male and some female hummingbirds—taken by @GourmetScience: https://t.co/VNW8wB4Ac7 #NationalHummingbirdDay

🚨 Maps from @WoodsHoleResCtr show #deforestation in the #Amazon from January through April rose 55% over the same period last year—which means we can expect an even worse surge in #forestfires this summer.

Been having some success with Blackburnian Warblers this year, been working hard at upgrading my #Warbler #photography catalog.

🚨 Tomorrow’s the #GlobalBigDay. Tonight we expect as many as 466 million birds to shuffle across the skies of the US. Submit an @Team_eBird checklist tomorrow to let us know what you see! Happy birding from the BirdCast crew! #Birding | #Ornithology

I haven’t Tweeted in a while, but it’s spring and #migration is in full swing, especially these squeaky call masters, so far Blue-Gray Gnatcatchers have been the majority of what I’ve been seeing.

There are no words to capture the horror of a seven-year-old girl dying of dehydration in U.S. custody. What’s happening at our borders is a humanitarian crisis. https://t.co/8KZeynGjIv

'Tis the season to remember where birds get their beautiful yellow colors: many plants are full of carotenoids, but we can only see them in Fall, when chlorophyll is reduced. Insectivorous warblers get their carotenoids by eating herbivores

This #Halloween truly is a #OwlOween, during migration research on owls we’re having a record year, last night into the early morning of today, we had a record night of 53 #Owls. This Eastern Screech #Owl is the perfect color for the holiday.

[Sean Graesser @GourmetScience]

When the afternoon cup of #espresso kicks in, White-whiskered Puffbirds are an amazing tropical species, that has adopted the sit and wait technique of hunting, sometimes sitting still for long periods of time, their red eye piercing through the #jungle, scanning back and forth.

[Sean Graesser @GourmetScience]

It’s butter butt season, this has to be one of the best bird nicknames. Very fitting for these playful #Warblers, Yellow-rumped Warbler, our southern migrant in the northeast #yearofthebird

[Sean Graesser @GourmetScience]

It’s looking like it’s gonna be one #Owl filled #October, last night Wild Bird Research Group netted 14 Northern Saw-whet Owls, that’s a very impressive number this early in the season, could it be a record year for them ? #yearofthebird

[Audubon Society @audubonsociety]

A moth was spotted drinking a sleeping bird’s tears in the Amazon jungle in Brazil, the first time this behavior was reported in the country and only the third known case worldwide. #YearOfTheBird https://t.co/yjAhDgMl6H

The Empress of the Rainforest, #Queen Royal Flycatcher. I was investigating about their current life cycle, to work out the time frame for the breeding season. This Female was such a stunner. #yearofthebird #Panama
