Tristram's Starling (Onychognathus tristramii) - Very beautiful bird, native to Israel (mostly Dead Sea area), Jordan, northeastern Egypt, western Saudi Arabia, and Yemen, nesting mainly on rocky cliff faces.
this is my bird. she was given to my family and i from my aunt. she was my cousins and she didnt take care of her. she locked her in her cage, stopped giving her water and food, and eventually this poor bird pulled out all her feathers. my aunt quickly nursed her back to health and now she lives happily with us. please send her your love. in this picture, she laid her 2nd egg!
Sorry I don't know the names of these
"Birds" all I can say is Bird...LOL:)
This little bird was very far away.
had to really zoom to photograph him.
Four young finch were born and raised in the bird house and were fed by both parents. At this stage the chicks were fairly mature and ready to leave the nest. Weeks later I spotted the entire family not far from the birdhouse in the grass feeding. It has been a pleasure to watch them each morning.
Bird-of-paradise or crane flower (Strelitzia reginae) is a native of South Africa and is closely related to the banana.
The herbaceous plant derives its common names from the unique flower it bears, which resembles a brightly colored bird in flight
Israel is known as an important country on birds’ migration route. Along these lines, the small Hula Lake (Agamon HaHula) is a paradise for birds – and bird watchers.
Numerous words were already written about the birds’ migration- which species are migrating, why they are migration, how and when. But even with all these words, there really is nothing like seeing it with your own eyes.

One of the many birds we encountered on the Superior CBC in and around Oak Flat Campgrounds, near Superior, AZ on 12/26/11. This was a new lifer for me.
Come on, birders, help me out: red-headed something or other does laps over Lake Sabula, IA on a very warm afternoon, which featured swimmers on this April 15.
I wasn't intending on taking any pictures today, but brought the camara outside in the event that something showed up...and...it did. Looking out toward the trail, I saw this large bird perched high up upon a tree on the trail. I shot this from my BACKYard, so not to scare him. Lucky, I did, as after I captured this shot, he started flapping his wings and flew away. I missed the dramatic shot by a few seconds.
Notice I'm being watched.
