American Woodcock demonstrates "distal rhynchokinesis," the ability to flex the end of its bill. This allows it to grab earthworms it encounters when probing in soil. Other shorebirds, including Dunlins & Sanderlings, can bend their bills in this way. 😃

The Black Crowned Night heron is know to engage in bait fishing; luring or distracting fish by tossing edible or inedible buoyant objects into water within their striking range – a rare example of tool use among birds.. . . #natureisamazing #natureinspired #naturephotography #naturelover #naturegram #naturefacts #instafacts #instaknowledge #birdfacts #didyouknow #didyouknowfacts #birdphotography #birdphotographyindia #birdphotographersofindia #eye_for_nature #eye_spy_birds #nuts_about_birds #biodiversity #conservation #wetlands #rajasthantourism #incredibleindia . . . @birdphotographers_of_india @incredibleindia @tourismgoi @rajasthan_tourism @unbiodiversity (at Keoladeo Ghana National Park Area, Bharatpur) https://www.instagram.com/p/Co06z-wBsvK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The Indian scops owl is nocturnal. Through its natural camouflage, it is very difficult to see in daytime, but may sometimes be located because of the small birds that mob it while it is roosting in a tree. . . #couplegoals #romantic #valentinesday2023 #snuggle #natureinspired #natureinfocus #eye_spy_birds #nuts_about_birds #owls #owlsofinstagram #owlstagram_feature #natgeo #natgeoyourshot #birdphotographersofindia #birds_captures #ourbirds_india #biodiversity #conservation #wetlands #wetlandconservation #canonphotography #incredibleindia #rajasthantourism #indianbirdsociety #incredibleindia . . . @unbiodiversity @canonindia_official @incredibleindia @tourismgoi @rajasthan_tourism @incredibleindia @natgeoindia @birdphotographers_of_india (at Keoladeo Ghana National Park Area, Bharatpur) https://www.instagram.com/p/Con-LZ4hRIl/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
