One of the whitest males I have seen until now. From a distance, I couldn't even tell that there was an owl on the pole. As I got closer I saw the beautiful eyes and realized it was a Snowy owl perched on it's prime habitat looking for some mid afternoon snacks

Anyone here looking for a PhD student for Avian Ecology and Evolution?

Research interests: Adaptation, Speciation along elevational gradient...but open to any forms of ecoevo aspect of research on birds! #Help #EcoEvo #Birds #Academia #PhD

Hey one of those people looks familiar! Not our @birddnerd representing Biological Sciences!

It's crazy to think that these two species of woodpeckers aren't related at all and the similarities between them is based on convergent evolution.

Have you ever seen a Snowy Owl and a Horse in a single shot? This was a shot I never expected I'd take, but in the January of 2021, as I was driving around the Sax Zim Bog, I saw a horse looking down on something...first I thought it was a snowball...later realized its an owl

Hey Birders!

What bird hates you or what is your nemesis bird? How long have you been chasing it?

For me it's the Summer Tanager.... been chasing it for the last 5 years.... failed every single time...

Missed out on it 2 times this summer... everyone saw it, except for me...

Happy Earth Day! Issac and Anuj are celebrating it at the Red River Zoo Party for the Planet by talking about bird banding.
