Semifinals, Poll 6

Whiskered Auklet vs Palawan Peacock-pheasant

sources under the cut

Whiskered Auklet (Aethia pygmaea)

"An odd characteristic of this bird, which is also shared with the crested auklet, is that its plumage smells of citrus" - Wikipedia

eBird sightings: 576; IUCN Redlist Rating: Least Concern

Unlike most alcids, Whiskered Auklets stay at their breeding islands and roost on land year-round. They are the second smallest auklets, which is why their species name is 'pygmaea'. Whiskered Auklets feed on copepods (small crustaceans), and switch to krill in the fall and winter.

Palawan Peacock-pheasant (Polypectron napoleonis)

"The male Palawan excavates slight depressions in which [he] orients [his] body during postural display behaviors. The bird vibrates loudly via stridulation of rectrice quills." - Wikipedia

eBird sightings: 327; IUCN Redlist Rating: Vulnerable

All peacock-pheasant have multiple spurs, with this species having two on each leg. The spurs are used for anti-predator defense, foraging in leaf litter, as well as contests between males. Unlike many pheasants, the clutch size of this species is very small, only two eggs a year. This is likely due to the invested care from both parents, rearing the chicks together for up to two years.

A fabulous girlboss and a funky lil guy!

Pheasant-tailed jacanas are found in India and Southeast Asia on lakes with floating vegetation. They eat insects, molluscs, and other invertebrates, which they forage for by walking on the floating vegetation or by swimming. Like other jacanas, these birds have elongated toes that allow them to walk over water like this. They breed during the rainy season and are polyandrous; in a single breeding season, one female may mate with as many as ten males, and each male raises one of her clutches.

American woodcocks live in the forests of eastern North America, excellently camouflaged against the brush. They have many colloquial names, including the timberdoodle, the bogsucker, the hokumpoke, and the Labrador twister. They are crepuscular and forage for earthworms and other invertebrates where soil is moist by probing the soil with their bills. They will also rock their bodies back and forth, which provokes underground worms into moving around and thus becoming easier to detect. Males display for females by performing a complex spiraling flight.
