Your tiny boss is watching you. 👀

Hummingbirds have incredible memories... and they know exactly where to find the good stuff. They can remember reliable food sources from season to season, returning to the same yards and feeders year after year.

And when that feeder is empty? You might just get a little reminder from your tiny, hovering supervisor. 😂

Have you ever experienced a hummingbird looking directly at you? ❤️🐦

Bluebird siblings get by with a little help from each other. 💙

As summer winds down in August, the final wave of bluebird fledglings leaves the nest. Bluebird fledglings often huddle or snuggle closely together during their first week out of the nest. This tight clustering keeps them warm, helps them feel safe, and makes it easier for their parents to feed them as they learn to fly.

Do you have any late-fledging bluebirds in your yard? 🐦

Have you noticed that some male House Finches are bright red while others are less red, or look more orange — or even yellowish?

Here’s the fascinating reason: their color comes from what they eat. 🌿🍓
Male House Finches get their red coloring from carotenoids — plant pigments found in seeds and berries. During their annual molt, these pigments are incorporated into their new feathers. The more carotenoids available in their diet, the more vibrant their feathers are.

And, of course, female House Finches prefer males with brighter, redder feathers. The red color shows that a male eats well and is healthy, which makes him a good choice for mating and raising babies.❤️

If there's one insect we're happy to see birds hunting, it's the mosquito! 🦟🐦

Many backyard birds are natural pest controllers. A bird-friendly yard with feeders, fresh water and native or fruit-bearing plants, attracts more mosquito-eating birds!💚

Some of the best bird mosquito hunters include:
• Hummingbirds
• Purple Martins
• Bluebirds
• Barn Swallows
• Phoebes
• Yellow Warblers
• Cardinals
• Chickadees
• American Robins
• Woodpeckers
• Wrens
• Orioles

🦇 While birds certainly help, bats are the true mosquito champions. A single bat can eat 600–1,000 mosquitoes in just one hour, and some species consume thousands every night. 👀

Patient Update: Bald Eagle 26-519

It is with profound sadness that we share that Patient 26-519 passed away in the early hours of this morning, following more than three weeks of intensive medical care.

Over the past several days, her condition continued to deteriorate despite intensive treatment and the combined efforts of our veterinary team and consulting specialists. She remained critically ill, receiving oxygen therapy, supportive treatment, and around-the-clock monitoring in our intensive care unit.

Throughout her time at Ojai Raptor Center, every decision was guided by the available medical evidence, her welfare, and our responsibility to do what was in her best interest.

Her remains have been transferred into the care of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW).

We know this news will be deeply felt by the many thousands of people around the world who have followed her journey, hoped alongside us, prayed for her, and supported the people caring for her.

Our team is heartbroken. It has been an extraordinary privilege to care for her.

We ask for patience and kindness as our staff process this loss. We are working closely with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and will provide a more comprehensive statement including additional information on her treatments and test results.

To protect our staff and community during this difficult time, comments on this post have been turned off.

To everyone who cared about Patient 26-519, thank you. Thank you for your messages, your prayers, your encouragement, and for standing beside our team throughout these past weeks. We are deeply grateful for the way Patient 26-519 brought people together through a shared love of wildlife.
