The actual footprint of an extinct moa in dried mud, dug up and preserved in a box in the Museum of New Zealand.
Does anyone know what these birds are called?
I've got about two dozen of the little bastards in my cherry tree eating all of my fruit.
Look at the eyes. They even look like bandits!
I took this right from my computer chair. The cherry tree is right outside the window and my camera was sitting on my desk right next to my mouse, so I just snapped this. There was also a beautiful red cardinal for a few seconds but I wasn't fast enough to catch him :(
In the Edmonton area there is a male WOOD DUCK hanging around. YES! I said WOOD DUCK! Ever since I was a kid these ducks have enthralled me. When I found out there is one hanging out at the Grandin Pond in St Albert, I had to make a special trip. I have been trying to not post more than 1 or 2 pictures of any bird lately. With the rarity of this bird in my area I am making an exception. I hope you like it!
If you are trying to find Grandin Pond check this photo for the location on the map as I will add it as soon as I upload these.
My first Etsy purchase! A Megipupu dress for my Bird - I have a feeling Janie will steal it because it is her color (olive green!)
But I fear one of these days I'll have to use the lawnmower... // Maar ik vrees dat ik binnenkort toch de grasmaaier ter hand moet nemen...

Birds in Wood: New Jersey Decoy Carving
Wild birds have always been a food source for humans. Hunters prized Canvasbacks, Brants, Golden Plovers and other species as gourmet delicacies. They used wooden decoys to convince passing birds to land within gunshot range.
New Jersey is a key flyway for migrating ducks and shorebirds. Therefore, it developed a strong decoy-carving tradition. A coastal carving tradition centered on Barnegat Bay. A Delaware River tradition developed in river towns near Trenton. New Jersey-made decoys are usually hollow. Some believe that this is because coastal hunters used a small flat-bottomed boat called a sneak box. The shallow-water boat couldn’t take much weight. Hunters needed hollow, lighter decoys. In time, decoy-carving evolved into a folk art tradition. Carvers taught their children, who then taught their own children.
Today, decoy carvers and hunters still practice their craft in New Jersey. Both are strong proponents of bird conservation.
Not the best of photos - I had to push the ISO all the way up as it was under the bridge. It is so hard to get a photo of one of these little birds though as they are rarely still, I wanted to share it. I think the white line on the beak was a reflection, not a sign of it being a young bird but I'm not completely sure.
Yet another of the Anna's hummingbirds we have in our neighborhood. He patiently posed for me, unlike most of them. The fog gave me a nice plain background.
