Part of a bird art trade with

I found the Green Tinkerbird on Cornell Labs and was really charmed by all the photos of them sharing food with each other, so I chose that as my subject

Red-fronted Tinkerbird perched in the sun.

📍Mbuyuni Farm Retreat, Morogoro, Tanzania.

#Birds #NaturePhotography #Tanzania 🪶
Strikingly marked miniature barbet. Adults have a red patch above the bill, but immatures lack this. Found in woodland and savanna, ranging from arid to moderately moist. Most common call is a monotonously repeated “took” call that is sometimes given hundreds of times consecutively. Also gives a higher 2- or 3-part call and a fast trill.

Eastern Kingbird
Black-collared Barbet
Yellow-rumped Tinkerbird
Green Heron
An Eastern Kingbird has built its nest at the top of a dead snag. Two hungry chicks look at the parental unit perched above them wondering where their lunch is. A colorful Black-collared Barbet clings to an equally colorful flower stalk which the photographer neglected to identify. A tiny black and yellow Yellow-rumped Tinkerbird perches on a small tree branch, a bright orange berry in its beak. A Green Heron crouches on the edge of a bank; it is concentrating on something in the brown-green water just out of our view.

The Yellow-fronted Tinkerbird, Pogoniulus chrysoconus, is a small critter in the Barbet family, hence it was formerly known as the Yellow-fronted Tinker Barbet. They will eat misteltoe fruits then regurgitate the sticky seed, wipe it clean on a branch and redistribute it. The Great Dispenser #birds

An adorable yellow-fronted tinkerbird has made its home within a carved out hole in a tree trunk. I watched it every evening come in to roost.

Day 4 at La Maison de L'Eau for the International Master's of Bioacoustics program. An interesting tinkerbird lecture by
Alex Kirschel. Studies of sound recording and filtering with Jérémy Rouch. And the beginning of semester-long independent projects. @nicolasmathevon.bsky.social

We arrived in The #Gambia the next month we will be not only guiding but continuing our conservation work with The Gambian Birdwatchers Association - absolute delight to see resident and migratory #Birds using the mangrove restoration we funded and planned together!

Trouble with the Tinkerbirds: Different subspecies sing the same song
Two genetically distinct subspecies of the Yellow-rumped Tinkerbird sing similar songs, suggesting hybridization.   Want to make a biologist stutter? Just ask him or her to define a species in…

Nine (9) #Swifts in #ScreamingParty overhead. The scent of my #Wisteria, #Azaleas and a #Tinkerbird rhodie. And I'm able to sit out in my garden with a glass of wine and enjoy. Bliss.

Four #birds
🦉

Burchell's Starling
Southern Yellow-billed Hornbill
Yellow-rumped Tinkerbird
Southern Chinspot Batis

South Africa
This Burchell's Starling is perched with its back to the camera and its right side visible to the photographer. It is a shiny medium-sized bird, and shows a lovely iridescent blue-green-purple head, chest, tummy, and back in the sun. It has dark barring on its wings and long tail. The crown is also blue-green, but the face of the bird appears black, as does its eye and beak. It's gorgeous; what a bird!! omg, these birds! I love hornbills, especially the flying chili peppers and flying bananas; they are adorable. This flying banana, a Southern Yellow-billed Hornbill, is a medium-sized black-and-white bird, and feeds on the ground. It has a long tail and long eyelashes fringing its bright yellow eyes, and a large curved yellow bill with a bit of black and reddish trim at its tip and base. It has a white belly, grey lightly striated neck and chest, and black back plumage with white spots and stripes. It looks serious, but in the cutest way possible. Tinkerbirds are small barbets with better color coordination. This Yellow-rumped Tinkerbird is perched facing to the right of the photo and has a green berry or seed in its black beak. Its head is black and white striped, with a black mask through its dark eye and a white stripe above; the throat and upper chest is usually white, but shows pale yellow here, as does its tummy. The upper and wings are black and yellow. These are handsome little birds. Small black, white, grey, and rufous bird perched in profile on a branch; she is facing to the left of the photo. She looks as though she might have a Napoleon complex; definitely a boss bird. She has a black beak, grey crown, black mask, yellow eyes, and a white collar. She sports a rufous (or chestnut) chinspot and narrow bib on her white neck and chest. Her wings are black and grey and have a prominent white stripe. Adult males do not have the chinspot and narrow bib.

called a bird by a funny name to someone who didn't have context for it. and i learned something
Screenshot of the Birds of the World (website) search bar. The search query is just "yellow-rumped", and somehow this has brought up so many birds it needs a scroll bar to show all of them. Includes the yellow-rumped tinkerbird, honeyguide, antwren, thornbill, flycatcher, flowerpecker, munia, serin, siskin, cacique, marshbird, and warbler.
