The Great Wall of Snow Geese - flying in organized chaos- illuminated by sunset glow- it's a miracle they don’t collide.
Mesmerizing scenery at Fir Island, Washington.

Thousands of Snow Geese flying in organized chaos over a field illuminated by sunset glow. They’re rather yellow and pink than white.

Some birds on 11.29 at Loft's Pond, one of south shore Nassau County's multitude of small fresh- and brackish-water ponds originally part of a broad coastal marshland, but now embedded in suburbia. These are important-- although insufficient by themselves -- habitats for many species of fauna, way-stations for migrating birds and winter residences for waterfowl. The Yellow-bellied Sapsucker was a particularly accommodating subject, landing in a bush close by and, later, on a tree right over my head. The Green-winged Teals, foraging in the pond, were also relatively tranquil subjects, for a change. I chose not to crop so as not to lose perspective of our current engagement with their habitat. The other species shown are a White-throated Sparrow and, yes, a Red-BELLIED Woodpecker 😜 .

"Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers are fairly small woodpeckers with stout, straight bills. The long wings extend about halfway to the tip of the stiff, pointed tail at rest. Often, sapsuckers hold their crown feathers up to form a peak at the back of the head. Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers are mostly black and white with boldly patterned faces. Both sexes have red foreheads, and males also have red throats [this one is a female]. Look for a long white stripe along the folded wing. Bold black-and-white stripes curve from the face toward a black chest shield and white or yellowish underparts."(AllAboutBirds)
"A pair of Green-winged Teals in a pond containing some plastic and other waste. "Green-winged Teal are very small ducks. They have short, blocky bodies and their tails sit high out of the water. The head is large, the neck is short, and the bill is relatively small. Adult males have grayish bodies with a narrow white vertical stripe extending from the waterline to the shoulder. In good light, their dark heads are cinnamon with a wide green swoop from the eye to the back of the neck. Females are brown with a yellowish streak along the tail. Both sexes have green wing patches in the secondaries (speculum), but these may be hidden when not in flight." (AllAboutBirds).
"White-throated Sparrows are brown above and gray below with a striking head pattern. The black-and-white-striped head is augmented by a bright white throat and yellow between the eye and the bill, which is gray. You’ll also see a less boldly marked form, known as “tan-striped,” with a buff-on-brown face pattern instead of white-on-black." (AllAboutBirds)
The Red-bellied Woodpecker "often appears pale overall, even the boldly black-and-white striped back, with flashing red cap and nape. Look for white patches near the wingtips as this bird flies." (AllAboutBirds). And, oh, yes, the belly does have a red wash.

Australia would be one place where that doesn't apply. Most of ours are flying around. Even in suburbia they're eating the fruit from our trees and making a heck of a racket at sunset.

Here's a sulphur crested cockatoo eating loquats in my tree. Possibly the loudest birds on earth.

It took a while before I saw a bee-eater living up to its name

Here's a couple of Rainbow Bee-eaters hunting from a tall branch. In one shot it appears a carpenter bee is meeting its end, but most of the prey being grabbed from the sky while we watched were dragonflies

Rainbow Dragonfly-eater is a bit clumsy to say though, I see that. Rainbow Dragonslayer perhaps?

When a wind turbine hits a bird, it's a bad wind turbine. But when a plane hits a bird, it's a bad bird.

Myths that people seem to weirdly keep bringing up about companion/pet #birds and especially #parrots, because why not:

1) That birds are in any way interchangeable with each other.

There's this perception that you can just walk out and "adopt an animal!" People will attempt to use the same logic that they use on cats and dogs (where I may disagree with the argument but it at least applies) to birds.

But birds are not like that at _all_. It fails on just about every level with birds.

Toddler is learning about birds from memory cards. So far she has gotten to the point where she can tell if something is a siskin or Not a Siskin. 🤷‍♀️😄

Mostly because siskin in Hungarian is csíz (pronounced 'cheese') and she thinks it's hilarious.
