Post Your Delta2 Feather Developmnt Pictures Here

Post by gemini » Thu Apr 08, 2021 2:15 pm

This thread is for holding photos posted by members in aid of the Feather Development Project.

We are looking for people to help collect screenshots from each day from each of our HWF nests to create a visual growth chart, which we could feature on our website to assist other researchers.

To quote Myles Lamont who suggested this, "It would be great if there was a standard pose or two (laying down vs sitting up) for every couple of days that could be collected throughout the season across each nest site. Would be very good to know if there is much variation between pairs in the region."

It would be great if someone could look through the screenshots from each day and pick out a few that help show the subtle changes from day to day - or if you have a really great shot of one or more of the chicks, feel free to post it here as well as on the observations thread.

If you post a picture, please include the time/date stamp or include the date and time in the post. You can also post a link to a post on the observations thread ("the second picture in this post - URL" for example) - and one of the admins (or maybe a volunteer :luck: ) will copy the images over.

Full-screen high resolution images are best - but if you see something smaller that's really perfect - please include it.

This is all new, so we may change how it works once we get started - but we are trying to get it started now, because the chicks really do grow very very fast.

Thank you in advance for your help with this!

Note - this is a work in progress; I'm thinking that once we have a better idea what sorts of pictures will work best for showing growth, we'll be posting less pictures here. ~JudyB

Thanks so much, Leighmur! It's so amazing how they start with light down, then get the heavier down - and finally feathers start to grow!
