Eastern Phoebe ~ (Sayornis phoebe)
Nice to see (and hear) these birds back on their wintering grounds in Florida.
Thanks for visiting!
They are back up north near us in numbers. This one was calling actively and eventually came out into the open! Was very dark by this point given late evening, so ISO had to be pushed to the extreme!
Eastern Towhee (m) with a catch. On an early morning walk with our dog when we heard the distinctive call of towhees. We stood back and while quietly waiting this male appeared on the trail with what looks to me like an insect or bee. It did present a quick photo opportunity.
Thank you for viewing

The juvenile eastern koel keeps coming to our curry leaf tree to eat the berries. It was hiding in the middle of the tree, so this photo was taken through our kitchen window. I was about 1 1/2 metres away from it.
Taken at East Kurrajong, NSW.
Another species of honeyeater found in south-eastern Australia in forest and woodland areas, as well as gardens in urban areas of Canberra, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide. Unfortunately not commonly seen in my area around Brisbane.
It is around 15 cm long, and has a distinctive black, white and chestnut plumage, a red eye, and a long downcurved bill.

Wikipedia: The eastern wood pewee (Contopus virens) is a small tyrant flycatcher from North, Central and South America. This bird and the western wood pewee (C. sordidulus) were formerly considered a single species. The two species are virtually identical in appearance, and can be distinguished most easily by their calls.
Their breeding habitat is deciduous, mixed woods, or pine plantations in eastern North America. They migrate to Central America, the Caribbean, and in the Andes region of northern South America. They feed on insects and other arthropods. Wood pewees wait on a perch at a middle height in a tree and fly out to catch prey in flight, sometimes hovering to pick it from vegetation.
Conservation status: Least Concern
Same tree, same hole, different bird! Three weeks ago we took a picture of a red owl. This time it is apparently grey. Eastern Screech-Owls have a red morph and a grey morph. We do not know what happened here. Maybe the gray fought for the nest and won, but we hope it is a couple. We will check back if they started a family.

Mount Whitney (tumanguya) just got a fresh covering of snow. Winter has arrived in the Eastern Sierra.
I make a mixture of mealworms, peanutbutter and chopped raisins for the bluebirds. Here he is about to get some.
You know I am not a fan of over-saturation so I will tell you that this bright blue is right out of the camera. I guess you could say he is in his breeding colors.

The Eastern Bluebird is a small, brightly colored thrush native to North America. Males have vibrant blue backs, heads, and tails, with chestnut throats and breasts, and white bellies. These gorgeous little birds are one of my very favorite species. photographed on Hilton Head Island,

MANY THANKS FOR YOUR VISITS, COMMENTS AND FAVES
THEY ARE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!
The eastern indigo snake (Drymarchon couperi) is the longest snake in North America and can reach lengths of over eight feet. This large thick-bodied snake has a glossy blue-black color with scales that are iridescent in the sunlight. Once found throughout the coastal plain of the southeastern US, its current range is now limited mostly to southern Georgia and Florida. In 1978, the eastern indigo snake was listed as a threatened species and given protection under the Endangered Species Act.
On/Off - Thank you very much for your visit and for taking the time to comment! Much appreciated!
The Eastern Phoebe is a loner, rarely coming in contact with other phoebes. Even members of a mated pair do not spend much time together. They may roost together early in pair formation, but even during egg laying the female frequently chases the male away from her.
