Taken at Clifford Hill GP, Northampton.

Scimitar-Babbler has a certain ring to it as a bird name, so I looked forward to seeing some species with that name on my birdwatching trip in Thailand. Red-eyed Scimitar-Babbler did not disappoint, with its curved bill and distinctive colours. It only heightened its appeal when the one place we saw it was in the highlands of the Doi Lang area of Doi Pha Hom Pok National Park — a remote region in Chiang Mai province that was a favourite place of mine.

This species used to be lumped with Rusty-cheeked Scimitar-Babbler (E. erythrogenys) but was split off in the 2024 eBird Taxonomy Update.

Day 329/366 of Project 365 (Tuesday, 2020 November 24 - 198th consecutive daily photo): Affectionally known as birdwatching when I took up the hobby oh so many years ago, those who engage in the sport have since adopted the more masculine-sounding term birder.

Eat. Sleep. Bird."

 

By chance, this was photographed from the back deck on the morning of our first serious snowfall of the season.

Captured this with three RAW shots at -2..0..+2 EV. Digital blending in Photoshop CS6. Increased the overall saturation with Hue/Saturation in Photoshop. Curve adjustment to increase the overall contrast. 1 layer mask in soft light mode at 50% gray, using brush tool to lighten and darken some areas of the image, to bring out details. Topaz DeNoise to reduce noise. Topaz Lens Effect using Diffusion filter to create this soft look.

 

Another one from my archive. The Bronze Cranes at The Portland Japanese Garden in Autumn. This was captured in the fall of 2014. Going to miss shooting the Japanese Garden in the Fall this year, since it'll be closed for expansion project from September 8 through March 2016. Have a great weekend everyone!

This is a schelter , build to watch unseen the birds who live here. Most waterbirds but I selden see any birds near when I take a look inside.

This red bellied woodpecker seemed to like staying in the canopy of the pine while watching the other birds in and out of the feeder. Or maybe he was just waiting for the right time to bomb the feeder for maximum effect.

 

Busy weekend, so will try to catch up on everyone's photostreams in the next day or so.

Found this colorful bird in parking area of a rest stop.
