Image description: A side-profile photo of a male duck floating on calm, rippling water. It has a striking black head with a distinct purple sheen, a long drooping crest at the back of its head, and a vivid yellow eye. Its body features sharp white flanks contrasted against a black back and breast. The bill is a pale blue-grey with a black tip. The water reflects the bird's underside and the soft blue tones of the sky. Clue: Look for the "ponytail." This medium-sized diving duck is easily recognized by the long, thin group of feathers hanging from the back of its head and its bright, "staring" golden eyes. Fun fact: These ducks are exceptional divers; they can plunge up to 3 to 5 meters (roughly 10 to 16 feet) deep to snack on mollusks and small crustaceans.

Bald Eagle…I don’t post locations for where I see this protected national bird because there’s always someone eager to harvest and sell eagle feathers…

Text above and below nine thumbnail photos of the European Robin: Bird of the Day European Robin (Erithacus rubecula) Found across Europe, as far east as Western Siberia, and as far south as North Africa. Sedentary in the west and south of its range, and migratory in the north and east of its range where winters are harsher. 🖼️🖼️🖼️ 🖼️🖼️🖼️ 🖼️🖼️🖼️ Photos from different collections worldwide — tap to enlarge

We've a new feature on the birdbrainer.app homepage! The "Bird of the Day" will be randomly chosen from ones that have more than six entries. Almost twenty at present, but that number should hopefully rise steadily 🤞 Kinda fitting that the first happens to be found where we're at! 🙂

Did you know the Little Owl often lives in old buildings and stone walls?
Some of the smallest owls prefer the oldest homes. 🦉
