Another from the Utah archives. These birds are fast! It takes many chances and a decent amount of time devoted to Kestrels in order to make one or two good images.

the BIG BIRD is a Fan-Tail Cuckoo CHICK being fed by Brown Thornbill.

- As with most other species of Australian cuckoos, the Fan-tailed Cuckoo is a brood parasite; laying its eggs in the nests of other species of birds. Host species include flycatchers, fairy-wrens, scrubwrens and thornbills, particularly the Brown Thornbill, Acanthiza pusilla. A single egg is laid in the nest and one of the host's eggs is removed. The young cuckoo generally hatches earlier than the host's eggs and proceeds to eject the other eggs or hatchlings. The seemingly unaware foster parents then rear the cuckoo chick.

Ploceidae is a family of small passerine birds, many of which are called weavers, weaverbirds, weaver finches and bishops. These names come from the nests of intricately woven vegetation created by birds in this family.The structure of their nest is very complex and the shape is very beautiful.Some species of weavers can build multi-chambered nests.

A bird's nest looks like an inverted pitcher. weaver works hard to build a house. Lips repair the grass lining. Gently rub (polished) with the belly to smooth the round shape.At the beginning there are two downward holes. Later, one side is closed and there is a place to keep the eggs. The other side is the long entrance and exit.

Binomial name

Ardea purpurea

The purple heron is a wide-ranging species of wading bird in the heron family. The scientific name comes from Latin ardea "heron", and purpureus, "coloured purple".It is similar in appearance to the more common grey heron but is slightly smaller, more slender and has darker plumage.

Connecticut Warbler - Michigan

This has to be one of the toughest warblers to photograph. In general it doesn't live where people live (northern remote bogs) and the bogs are difficult to enter, and even if you do, they are a tangled mess filled with more mosquitoes than you have ever seen in your life!

The Grey Fantail is most easily recognised by its constantly fanned tail and agile aerial twists and turns. Both sexes are similar in appearance: grey above, with white eyebrow, throat and tail edges. This species is quite inquisitive and will closely approach an observer.

Golden hour is the best light but for small or song birds, overcast weather is also pretty good you can shoot all day, this one in early morning overcast and u can see those water drops on the perches, thoroughly enjoyed photographing this beauty in my area.

Over the Albert Dock thought it was a gull until I got home
