PARENT-CHILD CONNECTIONS

Some say that thirteen is an unlucky number. Will these parents think the same? (Look very well because there are 13 goslings not 12). At this time of the year, the lake always has a lot of algae and the remnants of leaves and branches from autumn and winter. It doesn't help that it hasn't rained much. (Even if isn't a good photo, looks better in large). For those that can’t see number 13, see tag on photo).
Thank you very much for your kind comments and visit, much appreciated!

Atlapetes albinucha gutturalis

The Yellow-throated brush finch ranges from Mexico to the mountains of W Colombia. All forms of this brush-finch have a white stripe down the midline of the crown from the forehead to the nape.
White-naped Brush-finches are found in subtropical to temperate elevations, from 1200 to 3100 m in elevation. They forage on the ground, often in family groups.

Noisy Miner (Manorina melanocephala)
The Noisy Miner clan at the Woodville Football Oval continues to increase. This one had swooped me as it thought I had got too close to its offspring, which I hadn't noticed at this point.
Every parent who ever parented teenagers understands this image. A teaching moment...to be remembered.
I took a series of these images a few years ago. I bumped into this one while combing the files.
I came across this pair in a very tender moment where they touched and I also was touched, for I've seen this behavior before. The parent in front and with that beautiful red eye and the sibling with no color in the eye or in the feathers, they were inseparable, and thought that this image said it all folks, it did for me.
Have a great day everyone and thank you for the visit.
My mother, who died a week ago, and my father, who died in 2006, at a carnival ball in Memmingen in 1954. My mother was 22 years old then, my father 27 (their birthdays were later in the year), and I was about ten months old at the time. Certainly my grandmother took care of me that evening.
Thanks for the visits, faves and comments its greatly appreciated.

Here's another installment in my White-tailed Kite story. So, there has been plenty of nest building. Remember, work work work. Make a little love, eat, gather nest material, fend off intruders. The story is getting more variety now. Here, the two would-be parents seem to be discussing what to do with the mousie catch the male on the left has just brought in. Usually, it's carried and exchanged via talon but this starts out where they both have a beak on it. Shortly though, she takes it, gets a talon grip, and flies off to where the hidden nest is in the next tree over. Starting to think there may be more mouths to feed.

Swan parents - last week at Horn Pond. Thanks to the local Instagram community, I know at least half the eggs have hatched since then. I haven't had a chance to go back yet to try to see the babies - maybe sometime today, depending on the rain.
