Red Crested Turaco
From Fun Facts
Turacos are the only birds to possess actual red and green pigments in their feathers. The red pigment (turacin) and green pigment (turacoverdin) both contain copper. When you look at most birds, the color you perceive is a reflection produced by their feather structure.
These birds have highly mobile outer toes that can rotate forward or backward.
They use their long tails for balance and their feet are very good at gripping.
These birds produce a call that sounds like "go way" which is why they are often referred to as Go-Away Birds.
These birds have a beautiful red crest, which stands about 5 cm (2 in.) high when excited.
Red Crowned Crane -
The red-crowned crane, also called the Manchurian crane, is a large East Asian crane among the rarest cranes in the world. In some parts of its range, it is known as a symbol of luck, longevity, and fidelity.
The Red-crowned Crane and Sandhill Crane are related; they are both members of the crane family (Gruidae), sharing ancient lineages, though they belong to different genera.
All cranes are omnivorous, per Johnsgard, the two most common crane species today (the sandhill and common cranes) are among the most herbivorous species while the two rarest species (the red-crowned and whooping cranes) are perhaps the most carnivorous species. When feeding on plants, red-crowned cranes exhibit a preference for plants with a high content of crude protein and low content of crude fiber.

From last year at pershore worstershire.big thanks to Wayne Withers for bringing along his pheromone lures. these are nationally scarce, so was well pleased to see these. found typically around apple trees and orchards. only about 7mm in size and very erratic flight .
Yesterday in Traverse City. Fall colors are funny. They're so bright and intense and beautiful. It's like nature is trying to fill you up with color, to saturate you so you can stockpile it before winter turns everything muted and dreary.
