The Turquoise-browed Motmot is a colourful, medium-sized bird of the motmot family. It inhabits Central America from south-east Mexico, to Costa Rica, where it is common and not considered threatened. It lives in fairly open habitats such as forest edge, gallery forest and scrubland. It is more conspicuous than other motmots, often perching in the open on wires and fences. From these perches it scans for prey, such as insects and small reptiles. White eggs (3-6) are laid in a long tunnel nest in an earth bank or sometimes in a quarry or fresh-water well.
The bird is approximately 34 cm long and weighs about 65 grams. It has a mostly green body with a rufous back and belly. There is a bright blue stripe above the eye and a blue-bordered black patch on the throat. The flight feathers and upperside of the tail are blue. The tips of the tail feathers are shaped like rackets and the bare feather shafts are longer than in other motmots.
The Turquoise-browed Motmot is a well-known bird in its range and has been chosen as the national bird of both El Salvador and Nicaragua. It has acquired a number of local names including guardabarranco ("ravine-guard") in Nicaragua, torogoz in El Salvador (based on its call) and pájaro reloj ("clock bird") in the Yucatán, based on its habit of wagging its tail like a pendulum. In Costa Rica it is known as Momoto Cejiceleste.

The White-browed Woodswallow is an Australian native bird. The White-browed Woodswallow is a dark bird with a distinctive white eyebrow. The face and chin are black, the upperparts are deep blue grey and the lower breast to undertail is a rich chestnut brown. The underwings and undertail are pale whitish-grey, with white tail tips. Females are duller than males, with a browner body and pink to fawn underparts. Young birds are mainly brown, mottled and streaked buff to cream, and lack the white brow. This species is colonial and travels in large flocks that roost together in tight clusters.
The White-browed Woodswallow is the most 'colourful' of the woodswallows, which tend to be more subtle greys and browns, and the chestnut brown chest contrasts strongly with the pale underwings in flight. Often travels with Masked Woodswallows, A. personatus.
The White-browed Woodswallow is widespread throughout eastern Australia, with some vagrants to northern Tasmania. It is not found on Cape York Peninsula and is only irregularly found in Western Australia.The Dusky Woodswallow is found in open forests and woodlands, and may be seen along roadsides and on golf courses.
The White-browed Woodswallow is found in a wide range of inland habitats, from eucalypt forests and woodlands to dry heaths and spinifex. It can also be found in farmlands, orchards and towns.
The White-browed Woodswallow eats insects, catching them on the wing or foraging in foliage or on the ground. Like other woodswallows, this species has a divided, brush-tipped tongue that can be used to feed on nectar from flowers.
T he White-browed Woodswallow builds a loose shallow nest from twigs, grasses and roots, which is placed in a tree fork, hollow stump or fence post, about 1 m to 6 m above the ground. Both sexes build the nest, incubate the eggs and feed the young.

A pair of White-browed Wagtails, perched near what appears to be a sack made of plastic based material. I do understand that plastic make out lives easier, and that banning plastic altogether may make things more difficult for humans, but careless disposal like what's pictured above can destroy the environment completely. There have been instances of animals ingesting plastic by accident.
Do remember not to throw away non-biodegradable carelessly as we share our environment with other species too.

I wonder sometimes how long they would be if I'd never trimmed them. And they never grow out evenly -- there's always a handful of crazy hairs on steroids trying to outdo all the others. I'm also showing off my slowly emerging age spots and dark circles under my eyes. I feel so pretty in this shot. =)

I think I've finally learnt from some of my Flickr friends. You can be patient and the birds will come to you. I came across a rain water tank in a park on a really hot evening. I parked the car quite close and just waited and the birds came in droves. i was able to get shots of New Holland Honey Eaters, Red Brow Finches, Blue Wrens, Fantails and Magpies. All I had to do was sit in the car and hope they didnt notice the camera. Seems like cheating but hey it worked.
