boeckli Posted April 19, 2020 #255 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Found this on today's exercise walk. Apparently a regular visitor and usually two of them. Will go back in coming days and check it (them) out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From this angle it looks like he or she has on a toupé (nothing wrong with that!) or simply just has hair like the Ernie muppet. I love it. We don't get many fancy ducks in my part of the world. I don't think they ever figured out how the Harlequin duck arrived in Central Park! Beautiful photos everyone 🙂 Thank you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's some of my recent backyard action - I've been seeing and shooting much more of the backyard lately!

Docker123 Posted August 17, 2020 #269 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Thank you for the lovely photos z. A couple of them brought back memories. When I went to the US for grad school, I was always taken by the cardinal. Such a beautiful little bird. Brought joy. The other was the starling, a bird of hate. I grew up in Western Australia and starlings were a feared invasive species because of the damage they did to fruit and other crops. They were mostly absent because of the big desert separating WA from South Australia. To keep it that way, shooters were hired at the border to dispose of any that thought they could fly west. Still a policy of elimination. 1999: Shooters await arrival of starlings in WA https://www.abc.net.au/pm/stories/s44232.htm With Covid, the WA borders are closed and I can’t even go across from Victoria to visit family. I am not likely to be shot at, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Docker123 Posted November 19, 2020 #270 Share Posted November 19, 2020 I ave finally been able to go for a walk and carry my camera. It has been many months. So, just a couple of pics of welcome swallow chicks waiting for a feed. The parents flew in and out so Fast, I was not able to get them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
