They are like little fairies in the reeds.

March 24, 2024 - White-crowned Penduline-Tit (Remiz coronatus) Found in parts of south-central Eurasia, these penduline-tits live in a variety of habitats, including woodlands, shrublands, grasslands, and wetlands. They eat small invertebrates and seeds, usually foraging in trees and joining flocks outside of the breeding season. Pairs build pouch-shaped nests with side entrance tubes from plant fibers and down hung from the ends of tree branches. Females incubate clutches of three to nine eggs while males feed them on the nest.

Truly Hipsters (G)

These are birds with less than 1000 views on eBird- well, those leftover who didn't quite make it into the main bracket. They're truly hipster birds, I'm surprised anyone submitted them.

These two must be up to something, and not good, because they didn't have masks the last time I saw them.

May 19, 2023 - Yellow Penduline-Tit (Anthoscopus parvulus) Found in parts of western and central Africa, these penduline-tits live in savannas. Foraging mostly in the upper canopy in pairs or small flocks, often with other species, they feed on small insects and larvae. Only one of their nests has been described, a hanging woven pouch with a tubular entrance built near the top of a tree. They lay clutches of two eggs.

Trick or treat!

i offer you: the abortive grey penduline tit

[squidbiology]

When in their humanoid form, inkings have a dark patch of skin (?) around and between their eyes. Is that actually skin, or is it something different? If I were to touch it, what would it feel like?

You mean the mask?

If that is what you mean, then yes, it is skin. It's actually just a marking, similar to that in a few other animals. Eurasian Penduline Tits, spectacled owls, and laysan albatross are some other good examples... and they have the masks for the same reason that Inklings do!

Essentially, the mask sort of acts as a built-in glare guard. Inklings have extremely large, sensitive eyes, which are adapted to be able to see in low light as easily as sunlight... but that means that bright lights can easily damage them. This is especially true since they evolved around coasts, and glare from the water is extremely harmful to the eyes.

The black absorbs light, and thus, acts like a pair of built-in sunglasses. Think about how some species put black grease paint near their eyes to absorb glare when about to play sports or fight... it's like that, but part of their body!

It would feel the same as normal skin, it's just a patch of increased melanin. I would recommend asking before you touch it though, as inklings really don't like things near their eyes or face, and you might get bitten.
