Birds are small to large, warm-blooded, egg-laying, feathered, bipedal vertebrates capable of powered flight (although some are secondarily flightless). Many scientists characterize birds as dinosaurs, but this is consequence of the physical structure of evolutionary diagrams. Birds aren’t dinosaurs. They’re birds. The logic & rationale that some use to justify statements such as “birds are dinosaurs” is the same logic & rationale that results in saying “vertebrates are echinoderms”. Well, no one says the latter. No one should say the former, either.
However, birds are evolutionarily derived from theropod dinosaurs. Birds first appeared in the Triassic or Jurassic, depending on which avian paleontologist you ask. They inhabit a wide variety of terrestrial and surface marine environments, and exhibit considerable variation in behaviors and diets.

There's nothing like a feed of Paspalum seed. If you're a Red-browed Finch that is. This is a typical feeding action of these birds. They fly onto the seed stalk, weigh it down to the ground and then have a good feed.
500 km SE of Ulaanbaatar, Eastern Mongolia. In the east all were Yellow-browed and in west all were Humes.
Three Red-brows were mixing it with two White-throated Treecreepers on the short track from Chaelundi camp ground to the waterfall.
It was reassuring to see that both species did exactly what they are supposed to do: the Red-browed fed only on the smooth bark trees, and the White-throated fed only on the rough barks.

Scientific name: Artamus superciliosus
Family: Artamidae
Order: Passeriformes
The White-browed Woodswallow (Artamus superciliosus) is a moderately-sized passerine bird (perching bird) native to inland Australia. Like all woodswallows, it has a brush-tipped tongue but feeds almost exclusively on flying insects.
The White-browed Woodswallow is a grey bird with a distinctive white eyebrow. The back and wings are blue grey and the lower breast to under the tail is a rich chestnut brown. The underside of the wings and underside of the tail are pale whitish-grey, with white tail tips. Females are duller than males.
Size 20 cm
Environment open forest and woodland
Food insects, catching them on the wing or foraging in foliage
White-browed Woodswallows are highly nomadic. Pairs, small parties, and sometimes flocks of thousands wander irregularly around inland Australia, often trending north to winter in the Northern Territory and central Queensland, and south in spring to nest. Their heartland is the area centered on the Murray-Darling Basin, but they range far beyond this area, and in drought years frequently reach coastal south-east Australia. They are uncommon in Western Australia but small numbers regularly associate with flocks of the Masked Woodswallows.

While out doing a spot of birding, this White-browed Scrubwren landed on a nearby rock just long enough for me to squeeze off a few frames.
