The secretive Gray Catbird, with its distinctive cat-like
mewing note, is a common winter resident in Florida.
Many pass through the state during migration.
Gray Catbirds are one of the most common species that non-birders in their range are likely to have never seen nor identified. The catbird’s rather bland coloration – slate gray with a black cap and chestnut under the tail – doesn’t attract attention, and unlike their cousins, the mockingbirds, that often sing from exposed perches, catbirds prefer to sing their jumbled songs from cover. And it is the sounds that catbirds make that give them their name and makes it at all likely that their presence will be noted.
Gray Catbirds, to put it simply, have a call note that sounds like a cat with a scratchy and short meow. This sound emanating from a tangle of brush can easily fool those not in the know. The song of the Gray Catbird, however, is nothing like a cat meowing: like the mockingbird and thrasher the catbird often mimics other birds and sounds but it tends not to repeat itself. The rule of thumb is that if a phrase is repeated three times in a row it is a mockingbird, it it is repeated twice a thrasher is singing, and if each phrase of the song is sang just once one is dealing with a catbird.
I found this one in my backyard in Lake Wales, Polk County, Florida.
This red-tailed hawk has been hanging around Commonwealth Lake lately - I visited there 3 times in the last week, and it made an appearance all three times. Here it is posing for its admiring audience - a good collection of photographers and cellphone wielders (sorry, but I still can't quite call someone with a cell phone a photographer; sorry if I'm offending some!). It eventually flew right at us, but it was too dark to catch the action. Oh, well, I got some decent shots from another of its visits.
The Austonian held the crown of tallest building in Austin for nine years until The Independent surpassed it by only seven feet in 2019. Located at 200 Congress Ave., the 683-foot tall, 56-story building is a modern architectural icon in this rapidly growing city.
This post modern skyscraper was designed by Ziegler Cooper Architects of Houston. At the time of its completion in 2010, the Austrian was both the tallest building in Austin, and the tallest residential skyscraper in the United States west of the Mississippi River. Both distinctions are now held by The Independent, although another downtown Austin tower, Sixth and Guadalupe and still under construction, has already topped out at its final height of 865-feet and is scheduled to be completed in the second half of 2023.
Austin is the capital of the State of Texas, as well as the seat of Travis County. With a population of just under one million residents, Austin is the 11th largest city in the United States. The Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos Metropolitan Area, now with a population of 2.3M, is one of the fastest growing large metropolitan areas in the country having added more than 579,000 residents since 2010.
Lewis's Woodpeckers congregate in Buena Vista for the breeding season. Looks like a woodpecker but forages like a flycatcher,

À la fois forteresse et palais, elle fut pendant le XIVe siècle le siège de la chrétienté d'Occident.
Sa taille imposante et son adossement contre le rocher lui permettent à la fois de dominer la ville et d'être vu de très loin.
Elle est classé Monument Historique depuis 1840. Depuis 1995, il est classé avec le centre historique de la ville au Patrimoine Mondial de l'UNESCO.

To me, this shot of the robin who seems to have adopted us is very endearing and my favourite of all: somehow he looks rather vulnerable and a little bit unsure of himself and I like the way the breeze is ruffling his feathers. And his stick legs hardly look adequate for his little body.....
He apparently had no fear of the camera and this was the closest avian experience I have ever had!
This Beautiful Sparrowhawk has been hanging around the garden over the last couple of days, it looks quite young.

The Laughing Gull is named for its nasal call, but its appearance is rather stately. The birds are year-round residents of the coastal regions of the southeastern USA — this individual was seen at Goose Island State Park, Texas.

Palm trees are about the only things that do well when a particularly bad hurricane comes through, and this time, even many of those didn't make it when Matthew blew his 140 mph winds at them! These beauties at Ames Park managed to hold on, though, as they have done for a very long time.
This was the first hurricane I've seen that had the power to break 2 1/2 foot wide cedars off at the base of the trunk, and snap palms in half. Usually they just bend, and the storms actually do them a favor by cleaning the old fronds off. Not this time. Many of Florida's hardiest trees were downed by Hurricane Matthew.
The box fell down last Autumn and obviously had had Barn Owls.
This year a new box put up in January, pigeons and squirrels had investigated but also this fellow. I have a bushnell trail cam pointed at the box . Lets hope the Tawny stays. Somerset, UK.
Watch this space.
We have resident Spruce Grouse in the woods on our property. We have named this handsome fellow Romeo. For the past two weeks, he has been out courting the Spruce Hens that live on our property and it has been quite entertaining to say the least.
Two nights ago, we came home from town and Romeo was on top of our truck's tonneau cover doing his mating ritual.
When doing his ritual, he spreads his feathers out like the image above, then moves them from side to side. After doing this a few times, he then will peck at the ground or in this case, a branch. His next move is to extend his wings out maybe an inch on each side and have the wingtips pointing towards the ground. He will then run towards the hen and if she is receptive, then he will mate. If not, she will fly off and Romeo will start all over again. Gotta love Romeo!
