I had my first Woodstock in my yard yesterday ! I wasn’t sure what he was so I looked it up. He was very friendly and curious. My cat wasn’t quite so curious about him. We moved from Pittsburgh Pa. 6 weeks ago to Englewood Floria. It was a real treat to see him. I hope he comes again♥️

I know that hummingbirds can fly backwards. Hummingbirds also can fly upside-down.

Hey, Birdorable. I predicted the Sandpiper Week and four species of sandpipers are joining the 'Meet the Birds' page. I have a list of four species of sandpipers; The Madagascar Snipe, Wood Sandpiper, Asian Dowitcher, and of course, the American Woodcock, which is the slowest bird in the world. Or the Pelican Week, which four more species of pelicans can join Birdorable. Species such as the Peruvian Pelican, Pink-backed Pelican, Spot-billed Pelican, and the largest species, the Dalmatian Pelican, will be joining the 'Meet the Birds' page.

My husband is feeding the starlings cat food he's spent 100 $ on cat food the past few weeks. I told him he has to stop but now they're bringing their babies to sit on our fence lined up with their mouths open & the mothers feed them the cat food. I don't think he will stop as long as they keep bringing babies. It's hard to turn away hungry baby birds they are so cute.

Hank Schultz on May 19, 2026 at 12:52 PM wrote on Busting a Bird Myth: Can Hummingbirds Walk?:

In explaining one myth it seems you have perpetuated another, that hummingbirds LACK KNEES. Their legs are articulated in the same way as other birds, but their upper leg bones are short, so the "knees" are buried in the body feathers, much in the same as penguins' knees are.

狩猟スタイルと長年観察している経験から言いますと、主にホバリングからスーッと降りてネズミを捕食するチョウゲンボウよりも主に敏捷な小鳥を追い回して捕食するコチョウゲンボウやあの高速で飛ぶアマツバメさへ狩ってしてしまうチゴハヤブサの方が圧倒的にスピードは速いです。
