Backyard visitors. This is a pink and grey galah. very common in this area. The colourful bird in foreground (out of focus) is a rainbow lorikeet. A beautiful and feisty bird which unfortuantely is an introduced species and bit of a pest for the endemic species such as the galah and other parrots. The galahs are real characters and very intelligent (like most parrots).

I took these photos to try out my new telephoto zoom lense. A christmas present that I will use when winter comes again and the surf is up.

This guy came into the backyard yesterday. I went out to make sure the deer could find it's way back over the fence. Instead he started following me around. Had to finally make enough noise for him to leave. Then hung out in the green belt, munching away for about 20 minutes. Before he left, I told him to watch out for the local Cougar.

Female House Finch. Another nice day to photograph birds in our backyard.

She has a den and 4 pups (which I have yet to see). Sits on the side of the road watching people and cars. Will let me get to within 8 feet of her.

Cockatoos came to my backyard in the rainy Sunday afternoon.

There was no cockatoo’s food, so I gave budgie's seed-bar.

One cockatoo “stole” whole the bar from my hand^^

Stingy cockatoo as below:

Looked out the back window one day and there they were..their mothers were a kinda in the trees..my digital couldn't pick them up..they come around every other day

My parents' backyard. The summer was quite boring, so I can now huck a frisbee end-to-end here.

Thanks Lynnie...you have the best "props"! I was attempting to capture some of the lush color of large format polaroid film in the style of Marie Cosindas.

A hawfinch..

It's cold, wet and windy. We have snow rain today and the birds are happy about the feed at the feeding place.

Ein Kernbeißer.

Es ist kalt, nass und windig. Wir haben Schneeregen heute und die Vögel freuen sich über Futter am Futterplatz.

For the flowers are great blessings.

For the flowers have their angels, even the words of God’s creation.

For the flower glorifies God and the root parries the adversary.

For there is a language of flowers.

For the flowers are peculiarly the poetry of Christ.

A spiny anteater or short-beaked echidna, Tachyglossus aculeatus in a backyard at Hyams Beach south of Sydney. Echidnas can be found in urban areas close to areas of native bushland in many parts of Australia. They are mammals but they and platypus have some reptilian characteristics, for example, they lay eggs. Echidnas are quite large weighing up to 10kg (22lb). They feed on ants and termites. This one is looking for ants. For more information about short-beaked echidnas see here.

Thanks for visiting. I appreciate the very kind comments and faves very much. Have a wonderful week!

This autumns leaves piled up on the rocks in my backyard. Soon to be mulched and reenter the cycle of life!

This great horned owl paid a visit late on New Years evening(afternoon). Does anyone know a way to attract them to stay?? We have lots of crows and rabbits that I'd gladly trade for a horned owl.

This dianthus is growing from seeds that I scattered years ago, offering a pleasant scent to my backyard.

This fellow usually does not show up in our backyard until after dusk but this day he arrived in the early evening. Raccoons tend to be very timid so I had to take the photograph through the window.

I tried a little backyard bird photography this week. I believe it takes more patience than I have...

Snow is everywhere, on trees, cars and backyards of the homes across the street. Even the white truck in front has snow on it, but barely visible.
