Watch this plump visitor—a male Yellowhammer—forage near the Northern Royal Albatross nest. Males are distinctive, with bright yellow heads and yellowish underparts, while females are drab and streaky, usually with a yellowish wash to the face. A member of the bunting family, Yellowhammers are native to Eurasia but were introduced to New Zealand and a few nearby islands. See who's stopping by LIVE at AllAboutBirds.org/Albatross

Check out those pink stilts! Enjoy this close-up of a Gray-cowled Wood-Rail visiting the fruit feeder in Panama. This large, brightly colored, rail can be identified by its long yellow bill, hot-pink legs, and gray head and neck contrasting with orange breast. Unlike many rails, Gray-cowled Wood-Rails can be quite conspicuous, walking in the open along the edge of ponds, rivers and creeks. Watch LIVE at AllAboutBirds.org/PanamaFeeders

Watch Iris dine on a fresh fish atop the owl pole near the Hellgate Osprey nest. Despite the fish's vigorous flapping, Iris's sharp talons keep a firm grip on her prey.

Enjoy this close-up of a Blue-gray Tanager on the Panama Fruit Feeder Cam. This powder blue-gray tanager is one of the most widespread birds of the humid lowland neotropics and can be found in Central and South America. It is easily identified by its bluish gray body, bright blue wings, dark eyes and stout bill. Watch LIVE at AllAboutBirds.org/PanamaFeeders

Woodpecker Party! Three different species of woodpecker enjoy suet on the Cornell FeederWatch Cam: a Red-bellied Woodpecker, a Downy Woodpecker, and a Hairy Woodpecker.

Can you tell who is who? The Red-bellied Woodpecker has a gray body, black-and-white back, and red head. The Downy and Hairy Woodpeckers look very similar with white bellies and black-and-white backs, but the Downy Woodpecker is the smaller of the two. Watch LIVE at AllAboutBirds.org/CornellFeeders

Fish delivery! Wensi arrives at the nest for a fish delivery from dad Clark on the Hellgate Osprey Cam. As soon as Clark lands, Wensi immediately grabs the fish and "mantles," or covers, the prey before eating. Mantling is an instinctual behavior where a raptor hunches its body, droops and spreads its wings, and fans its tail to completely cover a food item. Follow along at AllAboutBirds.org/Ospreys

The hummingbird feeder at Canopy Tower received an interesting late night visitor this past week! Watch as a stick insect descends from the moss above the nectar feeder and takes a walk around before leaving again. This individual most likely belongs to the Calynda genus, due to its size, lighter coloration, and notable spurs on the back legs.

It's banding day for Āwheo the Northern Royal Albatross! Rangers with the New Zealand Department of Conservation (DOC) recently fitted Āwheo with a new metal band on his right leg. This band has a unique number and is used to identify him amongst the other chicks in the colony as he moves around prior to fledging. These bands also help with identification when the chicks return to Pukekura/Taiaroa Head several years from now.

DOC rangers are highly experienced in handling Northern Royal Albatrosses and are trained to work carefully around the birds to minimize disturbance.

Stranger danger! When an unknown Osprey flies near the Hellgate nest in Montana, Wensi watches closely and then starts alert calling for mom Iris. The intruding bird comes closer but Iris arrives to protect her fledgling. Follow along at AllAboutBirds.org/Ospreys

A flying squirrel takes advantage of the quiet bird feeders to grab an early morning snack on the Cornell FeederWatch Cam. Flying squirrels have long, flat tails, large eyes for seeing in the dark, and a furred membrane stretching between their fore- and hindlegs to help them glide through the forest.
