Also called the Spotted Munia the bird is known in the pet trade as the Nutmeg Mannikin or Spice Finch. Its name is based on the distinct scale-like feather markings on the breast and belly. Diet consists mainly of grass seeds apart from berries and small insects. The species is endemic to Asia and occurs from India and Sri Lanka east to Indonesia and the Philippines. It has been introduced into many other parts of the world with feral populations established in Puerto Rico and Hispaniola, as well as parts of Australia, and the US.

Found this nuthatch off the coast of Virginia Beach. (Sitta canadensis)

The silver-breasted broadbill is a medium-sized broadbill, 16–17 centimetres (6.3–6.7 in) in length and weighing 25–35 grams

This female red-breasted sapsucker was busily working on this hole in the tree for a nest, when her work was interrupted by a prospective father. At Commonwealth Lake.

This Male Red-breasted Merganser was perfectly at home in a good wave on a very windy day. These ducks are members of a group called ‘sawbills’ because of their long, narrow bills with saw-like ‘teeth’ which are very efficient at gripping their fish prey. They are excellent under water swimming fish catchers.

 

Thank you for having a look at my photos. Comments or faves are very welcome and much appreciated.

This energetic little songbird was busy chipping out a hole high up in an old pine stump. Certainly one of my favourite birds.

 

Thank you for viewing

This one was vey vocal, you can see the throat puffed out.

This face-on view of a Brassy-breasted Tanager gives another perspective on this beautifully-coloured species…we can imagine we’re another of its kind looking at it. This sighting was at the feeder set-up at the wonderful Casa Tukani in the small city of Guapimirim, Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil. That accommodation option is operated by Irmãos Mello Birding Tours.

By the grace of our Heavenly Father have survived breast cancer. Had been given a two year timeline that should have expired this past September, 2024... turned 60 in November and extremely happy and thankful...

The blue-breasted kingfisher (Halcyon malimbica) is a tree kingfisher widely distributed across Equatorial Africa. This kingfisher is essentially resident, but retreats from drier savanna areas to wetter habitats in the dry season.

White Breasted Nuthatch enjoying some seeds at the woodpile!

This is a lifer bird for me. They breed in the Arctic and funnel down through central North America on their way to winter in Argentina and Uruquay.
