Sandy Vongries Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Saw this guy behaving in a way I'd not seen before. No other birds in sight, mouth open for several minutes, not after food. After the second shot, he flew away. Quite hot, Cooling? Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edwin Barkdoll Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Passeriformes will pant to dissipate excess heat; some larger birds can also engage in "gular fluttering" which serves a similar purpose. Probably cooling off as you guessed Test Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
