White-throated sparrows are taking advantage of the cold north winds to migrate south from Canada now. This one is fueling up on protein-packed climbing false buckwheat seeds before continuing on to warmer states further south for the winter.
Auch wenn viele Menschen des Essen von Würmern verabscheuen:
Es gibt sie auch zu Mehl verarbeitet.
Der Proteingehalt ist 2,5mal so hoch wie bei Mandeln.
- Gegenüber Rind/Schwein/Hühnern
- haben sie eine weit bessere CO2 Bilanz
- haben sie weit weniger Wasserbedarf
- haben sie einen weit höheren Energiegehalt (Protein)
Even if many people disgust the food of worms:
They are also available processed into flour.
The protein content is 2.5 times that of almonds.
- Compared to beef/pork/chicken
- they have a far better CO2 balance
- they have far less water requirement
- they have a much higher energy content (protein)
This image is dedicated to CLEVE NASH, mentor and friend, who set a consistent high standard of pro quality bird photography for many of us CA Central Coast bird photographers. White-tailed Kites were his favorite raptor. I miss him. White-tailed Kite (Elanus leucurus) brings a vole back to the nest; SLO County; CA; USA.

Mehlwürmer haben zwar mehr Protein als Pekannüsse, aber im Geschmack können sie nicht mit den Nüssen mithalten.
Mealworms have more protein than pekan nuts, but in taste, they cannot compete with the nuts.

It was a blast watching this male parula forage in the understory. This is typically a bird of the tree tops, but this bird and his mate discovered that the frostweed and other herbaceous understory plants carried a heavy invertebrate load, and would provide an excellent source of protein for them and their chicks.
The apple tree (Malus domestica) is a deciduous tree in the rose family best known for its sweet, pomaceous fruit, the apple. It is cultivated worldwide as a fruit tree, and is the most widely grown species in the genus Malus. The tree originated in Central Asia, where its wild ancestor, Malus sieversii, is still found today. Apples have been grown for thousands of years in Asia and Europe, and were brought to North America by European colonists. Apples have religious and mythological significance in many cultures, including Norse, Greek and European Christian traditions.
Apple trees are large if grown from seed, but small if grafted onto roots (rootstock). There are more than 7,500 known cultivars of apples, resulting in a range of desired characteristics. Different cultivars are bred for various tastes and uses, including cooking, eating raw and cider production. Apples are generally propagated by grafting, although wild apples grow readily from seed. Trees and fruit are prone to a number of fungal, bacterial and pest problems, which can be controlled by a number of organic and non-organic means. In 2010, the fruit's genome was decoded as part of research on disease control and selective breeding in apple production.
About 80 million tons of apples were grown worldwide in 2013, and China produced almost half of this total.[3] The United States is the second-leading producer, with more than 6% of world production. Turkey is third, followed by Italy, India and Poland. Apples are often eaten raw, but can also be found in many prepared foods (especially desserts) and drinks. Many beneficial health effects are thought to result from eating apples; however, two types of allergies are attributed to various proteins found in the fruit.

Rio & Ginny our Quaker parrots love eating egg. It's a good source of protein so especially beneficial coming up to the breeding season. I hard boil a chicken egg & give them a small amount each day chopped up in a dish. I store the left over boiled egg in the fridge, each one lasts them about 4 days. For Macro Mondays theme "Egg" HMM!
The Komodo dragon (Varanus komodoensis), also known as the Komodo monitor, is a member of the monitor lizard family Varanidae that is endemic to the Indonesian islands of Komodo, Rinca, Flores, and Gili Motang. It is the largest extant species of lizard, growing to a maximum length of 3 metres (10 ft), and weighing up to approximately 70 kilograms (150 lb).
As a result of their size, Komodo dragons are apex predators, and dominate the ecosystems in which they live. Komodo dragons hunt and ambush prey including invertebrates, birds, and mammals. It has been claimed that they have a venomous bite; there are two glands in the lower jaw which secrete several toxic proteins. The biological significance of these proteins is disputed, but the glands have been shown to secrete an anticoagulant. Komodo dragons' group behavior in hunting is exceptional in the reptile world. The diet of Komodo dragons mainly consists of Javan rusa (Rusa timorensis), though they also eat considerable amounts of carrion. Komodo dragons also occasionally attack humans. R_8614
And dump a bag of red lentils on top. They will fall apart and add more thickness to the dissolving potatoes. And red lentils are about 25% protein and cheap as.

Need More Protein - Male Bald Eagle struggling to pull a stick for nest building. I think he needs to work on his leg strength Light was difficult and this isn't up to the image quality I typically shoot for, but was satisfied considering I had to push the ISO and crop in and see how much detail I could maintain.

Staying healthy is a little easier with a protein start to the day on days when I am going to be out and about.
This adult red-tail flew into a lower tree limb behind us and then dropped from there to the lawn across the path. The cell phone photo tells the tale: the bird had spotted a dying cicada, from probably 15 m away. These must make abundant and tasty snacks in late summer. In any case, this fearsome predator doesn't seem to be above stooping (literally!) to such tiny prey.
