Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment and favoring my images. Enjoy the day.
The juvenile eastern koel keeps coming to our curry leaf tree to eat the berries. It was hiding in the middle of the tree, so this photo was taken through our kitchen window. I was about 1 1/2 metres away from it.
Taken at East Kurrajong, NSW.
Another species of honeyeater found in south-eastern Australia in forest and woodland areas, as well as gardens in urban areas of Canberra, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide. Unfortunately not commonly seen in my area around Brisbane.
It is around 15 cm long, and has a distinctive black, white and chestnut plumage, a red eye, and a long downcurved bill.
Wikipedia
Wikipedia: The eastern wood pewee (Contopus virens) is a small tyrant flycatcher from North, Central and South America. This bird and the western wood pewee (C. sordidulus) were formerly considered a single species. The two species are virtually identical in appearance, and can be distinguished most easily by their calls.
Their breeding habitat is deciduous, mixed woods, or pine plantations in eastern North America. They migrate to Central America, the Caribbean, and in the Andes region of northern South America. They feed on insects and other arthropods. Wood pewees wait on a perch at a middle height in a tree and fly out to catch prey in flight, sometimes hovering to pick it from vegetation.
Conservation status: Least Concern
Same tree, same hole, different bird! Three weeks ago we took a picture of a red owl. This time it is apparently grey. Eastern Screech-Owls have a red morph and a grey morph. We do not know what happened here. Maybe the gray fought for the nest and won, but we hope it is a couple. We will check back if they started a family.

The recent ice storm left us with icy conditions on roads and anything outdside recieved about .10 to .50 an inch of ice. In this picture the eastern bluebird is perching on one of its favorite places. The limb is covered in a transparent sheath of ice. If you look carefully, you can see freezing sleet and rain that was falling. I am amazed at the conditions the birds, or any wild animal, can tolerate.
La reciente tormenta de hielo nos dejó con condiciones de hielo en las carreteras y todo lo que estaba afuera recibió alrededor de 0,10 a 0,50 de pulgada de hielo. En esta imagen, el azulejo garganta canela está posado en uno de sus lugares favoritos. La rama está cubierta por, lo que parece, una funda transparente de hielo. Si miras con cuidado, puedes ver aguanieve congelada y lluvia que caían. Estoy asombrado de las condiciones que pueden tolerar las aves, o cualquier animal salvaje.
The Eastern Bluebird is a small, brightly colored thrush native to North America. Males have vibrant blue backs, heads, and tails, with chestnut throats and breasts, and white bellies. These gorgeous little birds are one of my very favorite species. photographed on Hilton Head Island,

The eastern indigo snake (Drymarchon couperi) is the longest snake in North America and can reach lengths of over eight feet. This large thick-bodied snake has a glossy blue-black color with scales that are iridescent in the sunlight. Once found throughout the coastal plain of the southeastern US, its current range is now limited mostly to southern Georgia and Florida. In 1978, the eastern indigo snake was listed as a threatened species and given protection under the Endangered Species Act.
On/Off - Thank you very much for your visit and for taking the time to comment! Much appreciated!
The Eastern Phoebe is a loner, rarely coming in contact with other phoebes. Even members of a mated pair do not spend much time together. They may roost together early in pair formation, but even during egg laying the female frequently chases the male away from her.

With dark gray upperparts and a neat white tip to the tail, the Eastern Kingbird looks like it’s wearing a business suit. And this big-headed, broad-shouldered bird does mean business—just watch one harassing crows, Red-tailed Hawks, Great Blue Herons, and other birds that pass over its territory. Eastern Kingbirds often perch on wires in open areas and either sally out for flying insects or flutter slowly over the tops of grasses. They spend winters in South American forests, where they eat mainly fruit....

I decided to revisit my archives as I haven't seen many of these lovely butterflies for the past few years. Let's hope their numbers increase this summer, fingers crossed!
Thank you for your visits and comments, much appreciated! Have a wonderful weekend!
Petit-duc maculé | Eastern Screech Owl | Megascops asio
Belle surprise...
Belle et grande surprise vendredi en fin d'après-midi, les amis Tim et Yves se tenaient au pied d'un hêtre où nous pouvions observer un Petit-duc maculé se reposer paisiblement devant les derniers rayons de soleil du jour. Je retrouvais Hervé, le mâle de ce secteur, qui fut particulièrement perturbé par la présence de deux Chouettes rayées l'automne dernier. Sa conjointe, Aline, manque toujours à l'appel. Tout de même bon signe que de retrouver Hervé dans une de ses cavités habituelles. Ce dernier fut observé par Yves à quelques reprises au cours de l'hiver dans une minuscule cavité située dans la portion sud de son territoire connu, il y semblait bien à l'étroit, mais en toute sécurité...

An image taken earlier this week from an early morning hike of an Eastern Towhee. I chased this guy around a small tree patch for a few minutes before I was able to get a clear shot and in the end was able to capture him on a limb with a nice clean background. He must have been looking for the perfect spot to model for me :)
Thanks for viewing and have a great weekend!!
