Barn owls, ospreys, and bald eagles are among the many species of wild birds that mate for life and remain faithful to their partners for the rest of their lives.

The world’s smallest owl species is the Elf Owl, which grows to less than six inches in height and weighs less than one-and-a-half ounces.

Woodpeckers strike their beaks against trees and timbers around 20 times every second.

Tropical Hoatzin  birds are born with a tiny claw in the middle of their wings to help them clamber around the branches.

While some birds, like flamingos, sleep standing on one leg, other bird species have been found to sleep with one eye open, and others still sleep by shutting off one half of their brain at a time. 

Some bird species, including swifts and far-traveling seabirds, like albatrosses, even manage to sleep while they are flying. 

A group of geese is called a gaggle when the birds are on the ground, but a skein when they are in flight.

The V-shaped formation geese and similar birds make when they migrate is called a wedge.

A pelican’s pouch is properly known as a gular sac.

Black Holes and Neutron Stars: 218 Mergers and Counting
Image Credit: Ryan Nowicki, Bill Smith & Karan Jani

Explanation: What is the sound of two black holes merging in deep space? Sound waves don’t propagate in vacuum, but gravitational waves do. In 2015 we were able to “hear” them for the first time and confirm one of Albert Einstein‘s theoretical predictions. Each square on the grid of the featured image represents one of the gravitational wave detections announced so far by the LIGO–VIRGO–KAGRA Collaboration. These plots show how the binary pair accelerates in their orbit around each other towards merger: the rising frequency effect is called a “chirp“. Although there are significantly more neutron stars than black holes, most of the detections are binary black hole mergers. That happens because black holes are heavier and their signals are louder and can be seen farther away, resulting in more detections. These events are rare, and we don’t expect to see one close by in our Galaxy any time soon. But they are happening continuously throughout the cosmos.

Tomorrow’s picture: What’s next?

 A wicked person gets riches that soon disappear. But someone who lives in a good way will surely receive good things.

An ostrich’s eye is bigger than its brain and is five times the size of a human eye.

The Kori Bustard is the world’s heaviest flying bird. They can weigh more than 40 pounds but still get off the ground.

The Wandering Albatross has the biggest wingspan of any living bird. From wingtip to wingtip, the birds typically measure a massive 12 feet across.

Albatrosses use their colossal wings to travel far out to sea. In fact, they can often go years without ever returning to dry land.

An albatross named Wisdom was recorded breeding on Midway Island in the Pacific Ocean in 2021 and was found to be 70 years old, making her one of the oldest  breeding vertebrates in the world.

The world’s largest predatory bird is the Andean Condor. They can have a wingspan of around 11 feet and weigh more than 30 pounds.

The marsh warbler, a tiny songbird native to Eurasia and Africa, is capable of mimicking the songs of around 80 other bird species.

The enormous swirling flocks formed by starlings at dusk are known as a murmurations. 

Thanks to a statute enacted in the 12th century, all wild unclaimed mute swans in the United Kingdom are legally the property of the British royal family.
