This House Wren was chattering profusely, seen at Barr Lake State Park, Colorado.

Northern Red-billed Hornbill (Tockus erythrorhynchus). Hornbills are noisy, conspicuous birds easily distinguished by their bold black and white feather patterns, accented by long, colorful bills and patches of bare skin around the eyes or throat. Their first two neck vertebrae are fused to support their large bill. Samburu National Reserve, Kenya.

Conservation status: Least Concern

Common and familiar across almost the entire Australian continent. Large gray parrot with pink underparts and a light cap. It tends to be noisy and active and is usually close to a water source. Typically feeds on the ground, where it consumes a range of seeds and grasses. Occurs in a wide range of habitats, including urban areas, parks, and gardens. Occurs in pairs, small groups, or enormous flocks. (eBird)

One of the first birds we saw in Australia, and with us all the way through to Tasmania. This particular bird thought he would show off his beautiful colours and his crest so that we knew he was a Cockatoo and not a Parrot. Of course, he could also be a shady salesman trying to sell me a cheap watch :-)

Large gray-brown honeyeater with a completely bare black head and a distinctive "horn" on the bill. Upperparts are gray and underparts are dull white. Completely bare head is unique among the friarbirds. Typically very loud; emits a variety of harsh, loud squawks. Inhabits a wide range of habitats in eastern Australia, including (especially) open forests and gardens and parks, where it is common. (eBird)

Can be very noisy, almost deafening when in large numbers; considered one of the noisiest birds in savanna of S New Guinea. (Birds of the World, Cornell Lab of Ornithology)

We saw these interesting birds a few times on the trip. They are very active and like to interact with each other. For a change, this one was resting for a bit, and I got to admire his ruff and the horn on his bill.

Common in east and southeast Australia this is a confiding species that doesn't mind human company. Can be a bit of a thief at picnics

I love the colours of this photo, the bird not so much. Noisy Miners live in large groups and are very territorial and highly aggressive. Like a gang of thugs they will attack and chase away other species of birds that enter their territory, even if that territory had once belonged to that other bird.

One of the more bizarre members of the honeyeater family (and there is a lot of competition). Their love of Banksia flowers attracts them to this location, called Banksia Beach

These little Bewick's wrens are quite chatty as they explore their surroundings. This one told me to look for it in a bush, then soon emerged to this blackberry vine, and struck a classic wren pose.

Thanks to everyone for your visiting, favs & comments :).

There’s no mistaking when a Blue Jay is near. They are notoriously noisy birds with songs consisting of a large variety of calls, the most popular being a harsh “jeer” and a loud “Jay! Jay! Jay!” Blue Jays have been known to imitate calls of hawks. By nature, they are very aggressive and territorial. They squawk to warn predators to stay away or to call their flock. They protect against hawks, raccoons, cats, snakes, squirrels, falcons and even humans from their nests. At other times, the Blue Jay sings softly like a songbird.

Blue jays are intelligent. Captive blue jays have been known to use tools. When a piece of food drops outside of their cage, the birds have been known to make tools out of strips of newspaper to push the food within reach. They are able to store their food underground for later use and they are able to warn when danger is near.

In Florida, the Blue Jay is found in a wide variety

of habitats other than the populated areas where they are

so well known, including agricultural environments,

hardwood swamps, hammocks, pine flat woods, mixed forests, and sand hills.

I found this Juvenile in my backyard. Lake Wales, Florida.

A photo taken very early am in little light and blowing snow. Shutter speed 1/25 sec. with the help of VR and a tree to lean against. Noisy squirrels alerted me to this Barred Owl sitting quietly watching for its next meal.

Thank you for viewing

Walking aiong a trail in a Provincial Park, I heard the umistakable sound of the Pileated Woodpecker drumming on a tree. I rounded a bend and He flew across in front of me into some empty campsites.. I was able to get across to the location while he was feeding.

Brent Geese arriving at Frampton Marsh

In the dark many bird voices call,

The boats and the waves murmur noisily,

In the clouds a rose-colored glow sounds

Like early love's distress. The night blues away -

With shy hands the dawn softly polishes

The love lair, feverishly stirred up,

And lets the drunkenness of languished kisses end

In dreams, smiling and felt half-awake.

Thanks for all the faves and kind comments!

Some cockatoos being noisy in my back yard.

I'm no expert, but I'm led to believe that the patterns on the top of this silver gull's wings indicate it is a juvenile. In any case it does provide a little camouflage. As you can see from its open beak it was making a noisy landing.

Ouch... very noisy! It was terribly hot and a long exposure. Excellent conditions for ugly CMOS noise, but ahh well.

Noisy Miner (Manorina melanocephala)

The Noisy Miner clan at the Woodville Football Oval continues to increase. This one had swooped me as it thought I had got too close to its offspring, which I hadn't noticed at this point.
