👯‍♀️ Wearing matching outfits (with ulterior motives). 🪵 Downy and Hairy Woodpeckers are infamously hard to distinguish. Aside from size, they are nearly identical in appearance. However, they aren't closely related, leading scientists to believe that Downy Woodpeckers may have evolved to look like the larger Hairy Woodpeckers in order to avoid aggression from them! #painting #birding #birdwatching #nature #naturelovers #birdstagram #scientificillustration #woodpeckers #evolution #downywoodpecker #hairywoodpecker

👯‍♀️ Portant des tenues assorties (avec des arrière-pensées).

🌊 Ride the wave! 🐚 Anyone who has seen Sanderlings foraging knows just how charming they can be. These small sandpipers run away from every incoming wave, no matter how small, and then chase the wave as it recedes. This is because, as the wave recedes it leaves invertebrates exposed and close to the surface of the sand making them easier prey for the Sanderlings! #painting #birding #birdwatching #nature #naturelovers #birdstagram #scientificillustration #sandpipers #sanderling

🌊 Surfez sur la vague !
