Bird Yoga

One of the amazing things about birds is the way that many of them can turn their heads almost 180 degrees and look directly over their own backs. What allows them this astonishing range of motion is the high number of vertebrae in their necks; the purpose for it is to allow them to preen and clean their feathers using their beaks.

This amazing image of a Red-bellied Woodpecker was recently uploaded to the Wingscapes BirdCam Photo Gallery by Cher from central New York state. Regardless of how much yoga you do, it’s a good bet you can’t master this pose.

Great BirdCam Videos

The ability to take videos is one of the things that really sets the BirdCam apart. The video function gives us front row seats to all of the action, and the results are intriguing and often pretty funny! David L. took some of his videos a step further by adding titles and music. I've been browsing them on YouTube and getting a kick out of the bird behavior.
