Daybreak and the the veils of mist are still heavy over the jungle-filled plain on central Java. The sun has not yet reached the horizon but the sounds of the forest are increasing. The mist has started to take a little of the orange color forming in the sky before sunrise.

You should really watch this Large On Black since that brings out more details. My pictures aren't balanced for a white background and a lot of the finer details are lost in this small format. the large version is a sixth of the original - The medium size shown here even smaller...

I was extremely motivated to depart the airbnb at which I stayed the previous night.* Thankfully, the Java Joe's on 4th in downtown Des Moines provided a welcome refuge.
* The place smelled like dog and I found a flea on me. Needless to say, if all of the hotel rooms weren't booked, I would have skedaddled sooner.
I recently spent a week in Hawaii. Birding wasn't my focus, but I did see LOTS of birds as I toured parks and gardens near Honolulu.
This Java Sparrow was another species I saw most often foraging in the grass. And like the Chestnut Munias and Common Waxbills, I usually saw them in groups of a half-dozen or more.
NOTE: If you'd like to see more birds and flora from Hawaii, I've created a dedicated album that contains several photos not in my Photostream.
The Java Sparrow, also known as Java Finch, Java Rice Sparrow or Java Rice Bird is a small finch that typically breed in Java, Bali and Bawean in Indonesia. It is a popular cagebird, and has been introduced in a large number of other countries.
The Java Sparrow is about 15-17 cm in length from the beak to its tip of tail feathers. The adult is unmistakable, with its grey upperparts and breast, pink belly, white-cheeked black head, red eye-ring, pink feet and thick red bill.
Both sexes are similar. Immature birds have brown upperparts and pale brown underparts, and a plain head. Very young birds have a black beak with a pink base.
This one I came across on a fence railing eating what I suspect was a grape. He/She chirped at me several times and then went about it's business eating.
