JunkboxJim #BirdOfTheDay today theme is #Green. I've haven't seen tons of prothonotary warblers but I've seen more than a few and it never even crossed my mind that they might have some green on them until I saw this one from above at the Magee Marsh Boardwalk.

c0nc0rdance This is Nigel the Eastern Screech-Owl at the Avian Behavior Conservancy in Escondido, CA. Screech-owls have fairly complex vocalizations & Nigel has specific mews & trills he uses with humans to direct them to give him mealworms. It's =highly effective=. Meaning: He's domesticated his humans.

c0nc0rdance This video of a Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) was taken by Sondre Eriksen Hensema (@itseriksen on IG). There are 4 species in genus Lynx & what's striking is that 2 of them are in North America, 2 in Eurasia... but the lynx line originates in Africa. Let's learn more about these right-sized kitties.
