The Ojai Raptor Center (Facebook page)
14 hrs

ORC American Kestrel ambassador Bob, rousing during his time in the Sun today😊
Birds rouse as a way of shaking off any debris or molting feathers and is a general sign of birds relaxing and becoming comfortable in their environment.
Be like Bob. Shake off any stress from this week and enjoy the weekend everyone! ✌️

Hummingbirds are ecological super-specialists

Sword-billed hummingbird (Ensifera ensifera) from the high Andes is the only bird in the world whose bill is longer than its body. The exceptionally long bill is likely an adaptation to foraging on nectar from the long corollas of passionflowers. (Photo: Jesper Sonne)
