Major Mitchell's Cockatoo - I'm taking my meal elsewhere by Sharon Wormleaton

Major Mitchell’s Cockatoo Cacatua leadbeateri. Also known as the Pink Cockatoo. They are my favourite ‘white’ cockatoo. They have a magnificent coloured crest. They are often seen eating paddy-melons or pig-melons (whatever you wish to call them). Photo taken on the bloody horrendous 220km long dirt road between Hungerford in Queensland and Bourke in NSW. Thankfully there were a few birds to distract me along with the potholes as I did not pass one single car in the three hours it took me to drive along this road. / . / Part of the Australian Birds series. / Click here to view series / Other series include: / African wildlife / Desert Elephants of Namibia / Australian mammal cards / Australian mammals: prints and cards / Humpback Whale cards / Black and whites / Landscapes / Reptiles

trying to hide (in the conservatory) by WonderlandGlass

A new butterfly is quite vulnerable until its wings can support flight. Some try to remain as still as possible, some try to blend in with their surroundings- all need to work their wings to provide the circulation necessary to prepare the wings for flight. it is a precarious moment in their brief lives. This estate is considered one of the finest examples of Tudor Revival architectural style. The grounds hold extensive gardens and a conservatory that has a butterfly exhibit. While not as expansive as the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, NC it is nevertheless quite charming. The estate was the home of the family that founded the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company in Akron, Ohio
Young Robin by Tate6

My first Picasa2 edit! Thanks to Barnsis! / We have several young Robins, some very young and about 6 that are this age. They were all by my flowers yesterday eating bugs off of the petals. However, they sometimes ended up picking the buds and flower heads off! The little buggers!! Cute, though, aren’t they?

Mutual Respect by Gail Bridger

I have these beautiful and wonderful birds all around me everyday and I have taken countless pictures of them, they know I am no threat to them and in this shot, I think I can see his respect for me. They watch me always and when I get a little close to them, they just sit and pose most of the time. / Taken with my DMC FZ-50 and edited with ACDSee. Thank you liking my eagle shots, I hope you enjoy as much as I do.
