The Australian magpie (Gymnorhina tibicen) is a medium-sized black and white passerine bird native to Australia and southern New Guinea. Although once considered to be three separate species, it is now considered to be one, with nine recognised subspecies. A member of the Artamidae, the Australian magpie is placed in its own genus and is most closely related to the black butcherbird (Melloria quoyi). Currawongs have yellow eyes, whereas Magpies have red-brown eyes and Butcherbirds have very dark brown, almost black eyes. It is not, however, closely related to the European magpie, which is a corvid. The adult Australian magpie is a fairly robust bird ranging from 37 to 43 cm in length, with distinctive black and white plumage, gold brown eyes and a solid wedge-shaped bluish-white and black bill. The male and female are similar in appearance, and can be distinguished by differences in back markings. The male has pure white feathers on the back of the head and the female has white blending to grey feathers on the back of the head. With its long legs, the Australian magpie walks rather than waddles or hops and spends much time on the ground. Described as one of Australia's most accomplished songbirds, the Australian magpie has an array of complex vocalisations. It is omnivorous, with the bulk of its varied diet made up of invertebrates. It is generally sedentary and territorial throughout its range. Common and widespread, it has adapted well to human habitation and is a familiar bird of parks, gardens and farmland in Australia and New Guinea. This species is commonly fed by households around the country, but in spring (and occasionally in autumn) a small minority of breeding magpies (almost always males) become aggressive and swoop and attack those who approach their nests. 64867

The Red-winged Blackbirds at Font Hill are quite the aggressive toward the Great Blue Herons. I know the Herons will eat their chicks. It's still amazing to watch them attack such a larger bird.

Another take on Douglas C-124C Globemaster II 51-0089 seen in preservation at the Warner-Robins Air Force Museum in Georgia, USA
With nothing visible to give scale to her she actually looks relatively small but in fact she's over 130 feet long with a wingspan of 174 feet and is just under 50 feet high
First flown in 1949 the 'Globies' could carry 200 troops and load vehicles and equipment via those under-nose clamshell doors
This one was once with the USAF's Air Materiel Command and is one of about half a dozen that still exist out of the 447 that were built

Little Pied Cormorant
Scientific Name: Microcarbo melanoleucos
Description: The Little Pied Cormorant is one of the most common of Australia's waterbirds, occurring on water bodies of almost any size. It is entirely black above and white below. The face is dusky and, in adult birds, the white of the underside extends to above the eye. Immature birds resemble the adults except there is no white above the eye.
Similar species: The Little Pied Cormorant resembles the Pied Cormorant,Phalacrocorax varius, but is easily distinguished by its smaller size and proportionately shorter bill The Pied Cormorant also has an orange-yellow face patch and black thighs.
Distribution: The Little Pied Cormorant is found throughout Australia.
Habitat: The Little Pied Cormorant is at home in either fresh or salt water. It is often seen in large flocks on open waterways and on the coast, especially where large numbers of fish are present. On inland streams and dams, however, it is often solitary. The Little Pied Cormorant mixes readily with the similar sized Little Black Cormorant, P. sulcirostris.
Feeding: Little Pied Cormorants feed on a wide variety of aquatic animals, from insects to fish. On inland streams and dams they turn to their most favoured food: yabbies (freshwater crayfish). These are caught by deep underwater dives with both feet kicking outward in unison. Other crustaceans are also taken, with shrimps being a large part of their diet in winter months.
Breeding: Little Pied Cormorants breed either in colonies or, less commonly, in single pairs. The nest is a flat platform of sticks, lined with green leaves and is usually placed in a tree. Both adults share in egg incubation and care of the young.
Minimum Size: 50cm
Maximum Size: 66cm
Average size: 58cm
Clutch Size: 3 to 4

Dark-Eyed Junco.
A sparrow-sized bird at 5 to 6 1/2 inches long. Variable but generally slate-gray or gray-brown above with a white abdomen sharply separated from the gray of the breast and a pink bill. The white along the sides of the tail shows in flight. Some birds have buff flanks. Birds of the dominent western form, the "Oregon Junco", have black hoods and rufous backs. The form breeding in the Black Hills, the "White-winged Junco", has white wing bars and more white in the tail.
Their habitat consists of coniferous or mixed forests. They winter in fields, gardens, city parks and roadside thickets.
They range from Alaska to Newfoundland and south to Mexico in the west and Georgia in the east. They winter south to the Gulf Coast and into northern Mexico.

The finest hour has come for Kyiv chestnuts.
Aesculus Ć carnea, or red horse-chestnut, a medium-sized tree, an artificial hybrid between Aesculus pavilion (red buckeye) and Aesculus hippocastanum (horse-chestnut). Its origin uncertain, probably appearing in Germany before 1820. It is a popular tree in large gardens and parks.
Aesculus Ć carnea's features are typically intermediate between the parent species, but it inherits the red flower color from Aesculus pavia. Its showy flowers are borne in plumes on branch ends, blooming in spring and producing leathery fruit capsules in fall. It grows up to 40 feet tall and 30 feet wide, with a round head that casts dense shade when mature. Its leaves are dark green, palmately compound, and deciduous, each leaf divided into five large, toothed leaflets.

While out for a drive yesterday I found this Male and Female Osprey tucked down in the low ground seeking a break from a windy day. It is a crappy distant shot, I had problems trying to keep the camera steady as it was windy, but I figured I should take a shot anyways because with them both in the same tree I could clearly see the size difference between the male and the female. Female is above, also the females have speckled brown necklace (but I have read so do some of the males) In this case size tells who is who!
Are you questioning your size? If you do, let me tell you that it is not good for your heart and soul!
When I discovered this rock during my last trip to the Californian desert, I simply couldn't resist, even if the alignment required some artistic leeway... š
