The spot-billed pelican or grey pelican (Pelecanus philippensis) is a member of the pelican family. It breeds in southern Asia from southern Pakistan across India east to Indonesia. It is a bird of large inland and coastal waters, especially large lakes. At a distance they are difficult to differentiate from other pelicans in the region although it is smaller but at close range the spots on the upper mandible, the lack of bright colours and the greyer plumage are distinctive. #wikipedia 📷:@suv.sehgal #thetweetsuites #spotbilledpelican #pelican #fisher #goodcatch #birdsofinstagram #everydaybirdlovers- thetweetsuites.com

The Bali myna is restricted to the island of Bali in Indonesia, where it is the island's only endemic vertebrate species. (An endemic subspecies, the Bali tiger, has been extinct since 1937) The bird was discovered in 1910, and in 1991 was designated the faunal emblem of Bali. Featured on the Indonesian 200 rupiah coin, its local name is jalak Bali. #wikipedia 📷:@faunagraphic_ #thetweetsuites #balimyna #balistarling #birding #birder #bsli #endemic #wildbird #birdsofinstagram #everydaybirdlovers- thetweetsuites.com

Mountain bluebirds are cavity nesters and can become very partial to a nest box, especially if they have successfully raised a clutch. They may even reuse the same nest, though not always. Mountain bluebirds will not abandon a nest if human activity is detected close by or at the nest. Because of this, they can be easily banded while they are still in the nest. #wikipedia 📷:@jeffcooper7 #thetweetsuites #mountainbluebird #blue #bird #nesting #wildbird #birdsofinstagram #everydaybirdlovers- thetweetsuites.com

The term "raven" originally referred to the common raven, the type species of the genus Corvus, which has a larger distribution than any other species of Corvus, ranging over much of the Northern Hemispher. #wikipedia 📷:@conny_lundstrom #thetweetsuites #raven #birding #wateringhole #wildbird #birdsofinstagram #everydaybirdlovers- thetweetsuites.com

The violet-tailed sylph (Aglaiocercus coelestis) is a species of hummingbird. It is found in Colombia and Ecuador. "Solitary and usually low inside forest at small clumps of flowers. Hovers or occasionally clings to feed and does not gather at flowering trees." #wikipedia 📷:@juancarlosvindas_photography #thetweetsuites #violettailedsylph #hummongbird #hanging #upsidedown #wildbird #birdsofinstagram #everydaybirdlovers- thetweetsuites.com

The common bronzewing (Phaps chalcoptera) is a species of medium-sized, heavily built pigeon. Native to Australia and one of the country's most common pigeons, the common bronzewing is able to live in almost any habitat, with the possible exception of very barren areas and dense rainforests. #wikipedia 📷:@sandra_celebrates_tasmania #thetweetsuites #commonbronzewing #bronzewing #pigeon #australia #birdsofaustralia #wildbird #birdsofinstagram #everydaybirdlovers- thetweetsuites.com

Adult pelicans rely on visual displays and behaviour to communicate,[58] particularly using their wings and bills. Agonistic behaviour consists of thrusting and snapping at opponents with their bills, or lifting and waving their wings in a threatening manner.[59] Adult pelicans grunt when at the colony, but are generally silent. #wikipedia 📷:@kjetilsc #thetweetsuites #pelican #beak #birder #mouth #voice #wildbird #birdsofinstagram #everydaybirdlovers- thetweetsuites.com

Little egrets are sociable birds and are often seen in small flocks. Nevertheless, individual birds do not tolerate others coming too close to their chosen feeding site, though this depends on the abundance of prey. #wikipedia 📷:@suv.sehgal #thetweetsuites # littleegret #feeding feedingfrenzy #birder #wildbird #birdsofinstagram #everydaybirdlovers- thetweetsuites.com abundance of prey.

The great cormorant can dive to considerable depths, but often feeds in shallow water. It frequently brings prey to the surface. A wide variety of fish are taken: cormorants are often noticed eating eels, but this may reflect the considerable time taken to subdue an eel and position it for swallowing, rather than any dominance of eels in the diet. #wikipedia 📷:@mohammadalthani #thetweetsuites #great cormorant #cormorant #fishing #dinner #wildbird #birdsofinstagram #everydaybirdlovers- thetweetsuites.com

Sparrowhawk (sometimes sparrow hawk) may refer to several species of small hawk in the genus Accipiter. "Sparrow-hawk" or sparhawk originally referred to Accipiter nisus, now called "Eurasian" or "northern" sparrowhawk to distinguish it from other species. #wikipedia 📷:@brianscott_photography #thetweetsuites #sparrowhawk #bording #birder #beautifulnature #wildbird #birdsofinstagram #everydaybirdlovers- thetweetsuites.com

Spending the autumn and winter in the open ocean of the cold northern seas, the Atlantic puffin returns to coastal areas at the start of the breeding season in late spring. #wikipedia 📷:@npekonen #thetweetsuites #atlanticpuffin #puffin #habitat #ice #snow #wildbird #birdsofinstagram #everydaybirdlovers- thetweetsuites.com

Blood pheasants live in the mountains of Nepal, Sikkim, northern Myanmar, Tibet, and central and south-central China, where they prefer coniferous or mixed forests and scrub areas near the snowline. They move their range depending on the seasons, and are found at higher elevations during the summer. With snow increasing in fall and winter they move to lower elevations. #wikipedia 📷:@kjetilsc #thetweetsuites #bloodpheasant #pheasant #wildbird #birdsofinstagram #everydaybirdlovers- thetweetsuites.com

The rainbow-bearded thornbill (Chalcostigma herrani) is a species of hummingbird in the Trochilidae family. It is found in Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical high-altitude grassland. #wikipedia 📷:@glenn_bartley #thetweetsuites #rainbowbeardedthornbill #hummingbird #trochilidae #birding #wildbird #birdsofinstagram #everydaybirdlovers- thetweetsuites.com

The breeding habitat of the pine grosbeak is coniferous forests. They nest on a horizontal branch or in a fork of a conifer. This bird is a permanent resident through most of its range; in the extreme north or when food sources are scarce, they may migrate farther south. #wikipedia 📷:@vesa_74 #thetweetsuites #pinegrossbeak #coniferous #forest #birding #wildbird #birdsofinstagram #everydaybirdlovers- thetweetsuites.com

The nest of the long-tailed tit is constructed from four materials - lichen, feathers, spider egg cocoons and moss, with over 6,000 pieces used for a typical nest. The nest is a flexible sac with a small, round entrance on top, suspended either low in a gorse or bramble bush or high up in the forks of tree branches. The structural stability of the nest is provided by a mesh of moss and spider silk. The tiny leaves of the moss act as hooks and the spider silk of egg cocoons provides the loops; thus forming a natural form of velcro. The tit lines the outside with hundreds of flakes of pale lichens - this provides camouflage. Inside, it lines the nest with more than 2,000 downy feathers to insulate the nest.[4] Nests suffer a high rate of predation with only 17% success. #wikipedia 📷: @forest_ostard #thetweetsuites #longtailedtit #tit #nesting #architect #design #wildbird #birdsofinstagram #everydaybirdlovers- thetweetsuites.com

The skin of the quetzal is very thin and easily torn, so it has evolved thick plumage to protect its skin. Like other members of the trogon family, it has large eyes that adapt easily to the dim light of its forest home. #wikipedia 📷:@juancarlosvindas_photography #thetweetsuites #resplendentquetzal #quetzal #colorful #birding #thinskin #plumage #wildbird #birdsofinstagram #everydaybirdlovers- thetweetsuites.com

The bearded reedling is a wetland specialist, breeding colonially in large reed beds by lakes or swamps. It eats reed aphids in summer, and reed seeds in winter, its digestive system changing to cope with the very different seasonal diets. #wikipedia 📷:@zorro.pic.fi #thetweetsuites #reedling #specialist #wildbird #birdsofinstagram #everydaybirdlovers- thetweetsuites.com
