Birds are important part of the whole ecosystem we call nature in many ways. They pollinate flowers and disperse seeds, they are wonderful to watch and this world would not be the same without them. All creatures, plants, animals, birds, humans, insect, reptiles, and fish were put on this earth to interact with.
Let's be kind to the wildlife, let’s give a better world to our next generation, together.

Common Buzzard (Buteo buteo)
Have been seeing the local patch buzzards quite a lot lately. Close fly by today duing a sunny spell at lunch after a morning filled with rain.

I had never seen one of these birds before - had to look it up when I got home. There were 6-8 of them flying over the Fox River just south of the bridge at Rt. 38. Boy were they fast - and their flight is so erratic. I was afraid I wouldn't have any shots that weren't totally blurry. Cool bird!
We spotted this common loon on Bird Lake in the Superior National Forest in St. Louis County, Minnesota.

Common Frog - Garden, Essex. Presumably this years batch of spawn about the size of the top section of my thumb. Came across at least a dozen whilst getting on top of the gardening again!
The common hawk-cuckoo (Hierococcyx varius), popularly known as the brainfever bird, is a medium-sized cuckoo resident in the Indian subcontinent. It bears a close resemblance to the Shikra, even in its style of flying and landing on a perch. The resemblance to hawks gives this group the generic name of hawk-cuckoo and like many other cuckoos these are brood parasites, laying their eggs in nests of babblers. During their breeding season in summer males produce loud, repetitive three note calls that are well-rendered as brain-fever, the second note being longer and higher pitched. These notes rise to a crescendo before ending abruptly and repeat after a few minutes; the calling may go on through the day, well after dusk and before dawn.
The common hawk-cuckoo is a medium- to large-sized cuckoo, about the size of a pigeon (ca. 34 cm). The plumage is ashy grey above; whitish below, cross-barred with brown. The tail is broadly barred. The sexes are alike. They have a distinctive yellow eye ring. Subadults have the breast streaked, similar to the immature shikra, and there are large brown chevron marks on the belly.At first glance they can be mistaken for a hawk. When flying they use a flap and glide style that resembles that of sparrowhawks (especially the shikra) and flying upwards and landing on a perch they shake their tails from side to side. Many small birds and squirrels raise the alarm just as they would in the presence of a hawk. The sexes are alike but males tend to be larger.
They can be confused with the large hawk-cuckoo, which, however, has dark streaks on the throat and breast. Young birds have a pale chin but young large hawk-cuckoos have a black chin.
