The sun went behind a cloud and showed this female in quite a different light, the chestnut head more accentuated
Shot taken originally from the fall as I was unable to visit my preferred park this morning. No issues, sometimes you just need to adjust your plans given the current situation!
A complete surprise to find a group of these birds in my local forest park, but it appears a large group is migrating northwards with the recent warm weather. As the snow melts in March this unofficially kicks off migration of larks, meadowlarks and Blue Birds. It means winter is coming to a close (although it often has the last laugh!)
A winter visitor on this time of the year here in Wisconsin are the juncos are so cute and fun to watch on my feeders!
Have a great day everyone! :)

Figbirds are related to Orioles. They forage in the canopy of fruiting trees, especially fig trees, in the edge of rainforest and in mangroves, parks and gardens. Like other orioles they will also take insects.

So, do we call a female King Parrot a Queen? I think we should. This beauty was lurking in the depths of my old computer which I managed to wake this morning from what has been a year long sleep. Had all sorts of dramas with it, but it seemed to wake up fine and I was able to salvage a thousand or so old images from it.
Taken near Apollo Bay in Victoria where they regularly visited the local houses and gardens. So wonderful to get close!
Juvenile female sure I've not posted this had a lot of similar ones thou background is lighter I miss these beauties :)
This beautiful little female spent hours during the past couple of days gathering materials for her nest. This ball of fluff is a favorite with both Chickadees and Goldfinches.
Another winter shot
(I am very busy and I think I will have to skip the challenge topics in the next two weeks)
Today is for Sparrows. Here's a female fledgling House Sparrow
(Passer domesticus) also in the Jasmine bush.
I've made an assumption that this is the female - she's a bit bigger than her mate and a much shyer bird. This is the first time I've been able to photograph her, although she sometimes keeps an eye on me from the trees while I'm sitting in the hide freezing :o)
She's slightly different in her colouring too, although ideally both owls would perch together for a proper comparison (sometimes it's okay to dream!)
Thanks as always to everyone who takes the time to stop and look, it is always very much appreciated
The painted bunting is a sparrow-sized bird about 5 and a half inches in length. It is one of the most colorful birds in North America. The male has bright red underparts and rump. It has a green back, a blue head and a red eye ring.
The female is bright yellow-green with paler underparts. Both the male and the female have dark brown or black wings, a dark bill and dark legs.
There are two breeding populations of the painted bunting in the United States. The eastern population breeds from North Carolina south to northern Florida. The western population breeds from Kansas and Missouri south to the Gulf Coast and northeastern Mexico. The painted bunting winters in southern Florida, Mexico, Central America, and Cuba.
The painted bunting forages on the ground and in low vegetation for seeds, insects, spiders and snails.
I found this female (Or male Juvenile) in my back yard in Polk County, Florida.
