A male American kestrel (Falco sparverius) perched on the thinnest of branches. This beautiful bird obliged me a better look by switching the sides of the tree it was on, though truthfully it was working to get a better look at some unknown prey- it was certainly locked on to something, probably a vole.

Thanks for the visits, faves and comments its greatly appreciated.

Now decommissioned, this lighthouse is situated at the confluence of the River Mersey and Liverpool Bay on an outcrop off New Brighton known locally as Perch Rock.

It was worth getting my shoes wet.

The long-tailed widowbird is a medium-sized bird and one of the most common in the territories it inhabits. Adult breeding males are almost entirely black with orange and white shoulders (epaulettes), long, wide tails, and a bluish-white bill. Females are rather inconspicuous, their feathers streaked tawny and black with pale patches on the chest, breast and back, narrow tail feathers, and horn-coloured bills.

Another visit to Hunter Wetlands Center (Shortland, NSW; Australia) today with long time friend and fellow flickr tog Joe Micallef.

I spotted a couple of Superb Fairy Wrens nearby and stalked the colorful male and waited and hoped he would perch above the surrounding grasses.

My stalking, whistling courtship calls and patience were answered when he perched onto this old branch.

Hope you like this - really should be viewed LARGE on Black!!!!

I could crop the image to allow the bird to to occupy most of the composition; but I thought the surroundings were too pretty to eliminate - hope you agree!!

Thanks for any comments, views or favorites - always greatly appreciated!!!

Wishing each of you a wonderful day and week.

Scarlet and Green Macaw start our parrot series....

From Wiki:

Macaws are native to Central America and North America (only Mexico), South America, and formerly the Caribbean. Most species are associated with forests, but others prefer woodland or savannah-like habitats.

Proportionately larger beaks, long tails, and relatively bare, light-coloured medial (facial patch) areas distinguish macaws from other parrots. Sometimes the facial patch is smaller in some species and limited to a yellow patch around the eyes and a second patch near the base of the beak in the members of the genus Anodorhynchus. A macaw's facial feather pattern is as unique as a fingerprint.

The largest macaws are the hyacinth, Buffon's (great green) and green-winged macaws. While still relatively large parrots, mini-macaws of the genera Cyanopsitta, Orthopsittaca and Primolius are significantly smaller than the members of Anodorhynchus and Ara. The smallest member of the family, the red-shouldered macaw, is no larger than some parakeets of the genus Aratinga.

Macaws, like other parrots, toucans and woodpeckers, are zygodactyl, having their first and fourth toes pointing backward.
