A baby Myna bird was sitting on the lawn pecking at a white pigeon-feather. It seemed to amuse him considerably. He would put his beak to it, carry it a short distance, drop it and stare at it. He looked so cute, with his face so much more yellow until all his facial feathers grow to cover some more of it. Last night, he was sitting on the white post below my bedroom window. This is a favored perch for Magpies and Pigeons, also. I almost got a photo - but a bigger bird flew down and frightened him away!
I have spotted a Black-faced Cuckoo-shrike and two Red-whiskered Bulbuls in our yard a couple of times last week.
One of our Magpies from previous years came to see if we still had cheese for an easy meal. Yes, we do have our tub in the fridge still, mostly as a weekly treat for the Pigeons, but if we spot a magpie 'looking' they will generally also be lucky.
Pelicans and Ravens have been flying over the yard throughout the previous week. The Pelicans usually fly over the coast itself, rather than a few blocks inland.
I hope to go hiking along with my camera within the next 2 weeks. Hopefully I shall get some good shots of various waterfowl &/or Fairy-wrens to post.
