A young Currawong sitting on our fence. This little(?) bird is quite a character - a bit timid but very curious. Last week I was sitting on the lounge reading a book and I heard some tapping on the glass door. I turned around and there was this bird trying to work out how to get inside. It didn't expect to see me so it jumped back to the deck railing where one of its parents was waiting.

Birds puff up their feathers to trap heat next to their body, or to dry out after a bath. They also fluff up their feathers when they are stressed or sick. Or while they are preening. And males may fluff up a bit when they are doing their courtship dancing...This one was seen Early morning on a TV Aerial ..

For weeks now, I've had the wonderful opportunity to see and photograph a Bald Eagle pair as they prepare for breeding season. I've happily seen many different kinds of looks from them and here's another one. He was preening and just decided to shake everything out. He even had a great expression. I hope you're not getting sick of these eagle shots but I can't help myself, LOL. It's like an addiction.

I have no idea what bird this is...

Another visit to the Wetlands with long time friend and fellow flickr tog Joe Micallef.

We had sprinkling rain and overcast conditions which was ideal for light - there were a couple of Welcome Swallows that perched nicely and allowed us to get a few close up portraits - hope you like this one!

Thanks for any comments, views or favorites - most appreciated!

Wishing you a wonderful day and week ahead!

Only two cygnets this year for the swan, I hope they all survive

Green Herons are often seen along the trails at Circle B Bar Reserve which is located near Lakeland, Florida. The Green Heron (Butorides striatus) measures 16-22 inches (40-55 cm) from beak-tip to tail-tip. As I prepared for this shot, I had not noticed that its chest feathers were fluffed out and I was pleasantly surprised to see it later.

this was in hitland at the (now melted) ice skating place:)
