About: Pilofile   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

During the summer months the tundra is literally infested with flying insects and has a large population of insect-eating birds. Many, like the pilofile, have bristled beaks - a ring of stiff hair-like feathers surrounding the beak that forms a cone and deflects insects into its mouth. The bristles in effect widen the bird's potential capture area and increase its food supply.
