Media notes
These birds have opened their "solar panels" by raising their mantles and spreading the scapulars; the dark bases of the.....feathers heat up much faster from the sun's rays than the paler feather tips and thereby warm the bird more quickly in cold weather. Most, if not all, bee eaters exhibit this behavior. Elevation: 80 m. Date added to IBC: June 21, 2016.
