Oben: Grafik, auf der ein Mann mit einer Angel in einem Boot sitzt und aus einem See mit Algen Moleküle fischt. Unten: Die Überschrift des im Post verlinkten Artikels "Faktorfischen”, gefolgt von dessen Vorspann „Bioaktive Faktoren werden weitgehend durch genetische Methoden identifiziert. Manchmal muss man sie aber immer noch mühsam aus Extrakten reinigen.“ Links daneben befindet sich ein Icon mit Smartphone und Magazinseite sowie der Schriftzug „Kostenlos online lesen!“. In der rechten unteren Ecke befindet sich das Laborjournal-Logo.
Ausschnitt aus dem verlinkten Artikel.
Bioaktive Faktoren aus #Extrakten zu gewinnen, wirkt durch genetische Methoden fast „oldschool“. Dennoch lohnt sich ein Blick zurück auf #Bayliss und #Starling sowie das Auskramen des #Faktorfischens für die Grünalge #Chlamydomonas und ihr „Todeswasser“: www.laborjournal.de/editorials/3...

European Starling
#Starling #birds #SciArt #birding #traditionalart
two European starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) perched on a wire suet feeder attached to a tree trunk. the birds are stocky with short tails and glossy black plumage that shows an iridescent sheen of green and purple in the sunlight. their feathers are speckled with white spots and both have distinct, pointed yellow bills and pinkish-red legs. the background shows out-of-focus bare branches.

morning finds him here

When I think of a #speckled bird, today's #BirdOfTheDay theme, a #starling immediately comes to mind. Audubon.org says of them, "Often regarded as a pest, the European Starling wins our grudging admiration for its adaptability, toughness, and seeming intelligence." #AmherstMA #backyardbirds
"The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #speckled any bird with speckled markings. The alt is #oneleg any bird standing on one leg." - @alan678.bsky.social

Starling in an apple tree
The common starling can be frustrating due to their squawk and tendency to swarm bird feeders. But their feathers under the right light are prismatic.

A cheeky little Starling giving me the eye as I inched closer and closer to get a photo.
For Alan's (@alan678.bsky.social) #BirdOfTheDay theme of #tricolour, I remembered I had a #Starling photo too. So here's one from last year at Bray in Co. Wicklow in #Ireland.

Visited Cromer yesterday and were surprised by the amount of starlings about. This cheeky one came so close we could hand feed it. I shall be taking birdseed with me next time. #starling #cromer

Digital drawing. Two bird people hugging. One is much taller and is wrapping his black wings around the other. The tall Bird has a yellow beak and is wearing a hood that obscures his face. One of his hands is made of metal. The smaller one is hugging tightly. Their brown wings are hanging down. They press their face and grey beak against their brother and shedding a tear. It's a bright day.

Our image captures a striking play of light and shadow on a wooden surface, likely part of a fence or shed. The wood is made of horizontal planks, weathered and textured, with visible grain, knots, and small cracks. The sunlight is warm and low, casting a golden tone across the boards. At the center of the scene is the shadow of a small bird, likely a starling is clearly outlined against the wood. The bird is perched on a narrow horizontal bar or feeder. Its body appears rounded, with a short tail extending slightly backward and a pointed beak angled downward, suggesting it is pecking or feeding. Above the bird’s shadow, faint shapes hint at the feeder mechanism, possibly a hanging structure with loops or hooks. Two thin vertical lines connect the feeder to something above, and these cast narrow shadows that run down toward the bird. Below the bird’s body, a darker, rounded shadow hangs, likely the feeder or a suspended food container, with a thin line extending further down like a string or chain. To the right edge of the image, a vertical wooden beam frames the scene, adding contrast and depth. There are also delicate traces of cobwebs in the upper right corner, catching just enough light to be visible. Overall, the image is quiet and atmospheric, focusing not on the bird itself, but on its silhouette. Capturing a fleeting, everyday moment of feeding through shadow and sunlight. Finally, our picture is finished off with a simple white border frame.
