We must have spent hours photographing this “Little Bee Eater” next to a river in Samburu National Park (Kenya). After a while I got lucky (although there is another one I like that will be adding soon, of a pair) and was able to get this shot. A light breeze ruffled the feathers as I was about to take my shot, giving me something more distinctive. / / (Samburu National Park – Kenya) / / / / /

This is a dear little robin who occasionally appears in our front garden. He is quite tame and likes it when I dig the garden. He is beautiful and I was lucky to get some great pics of him. !

Ophelia lies down together with these yellow ladies, which she imagines to be twinkling little stars and she,suspending in the dark skies with them. “Oh, I wish I could fly to the moon and kiss the stars goodnight before I sleep every night!” She hooted excitedly to the yellow ladies :D / / / You can view and buy my other “Twinkle Twinkle Little Stars” creations from my Zazzle Gallery: /

Family: Paridae, Chickadees and Titmice view all from this family Description 4 3/4-5 3/4” (12-15 cm). Black cap and throat, white cheeks, gray back, dull white underparts. Wing feathers narrowly and indistinctly edged with white. Habitat Deciduous and mixed forests and open woodlands; suburban areas in winter. Nesting 6-8 brown-speckled white eggs in a cup of grass, fur, plant down, feathers, and moss, placed in a hole in a rotten tree stub excavated by the birds, or in a natural cavity or bird box. Range Largely resident from Alaska east across Canada to Newfoundland, south to northern California, northern New Mexico, Missouri, and northern New Jersey. Winters south to Maryland and Texas. Voice A buzzy chick-a-dee-dee-dee or a clear, whistled fee-bee, the second note lower and often doubled. Discussion These birds are constantly active—hopping, often feeding upside down, clinging to the underside of twigs and branches in their search for insect eggs and larvae. Flocks of this tame and inquisitive bird spend the winter making the rounds of feeders in a neighborhood, often appearing at each feeder with striking regularity. Chickadees form the nucleus of mixed flocks of woodpeckers, nuthatches, creepers, and kinglets that move through the winter woods. In spring, chickadees disband into the woods to nest. Black-capped Chickadees usually prepare their own nesting hole in soft, rotting tree stumps. Enticing them into breeding boxes is difficult unless the boxes are filled with sawdust, which deceives the chickadees; they carry the sawdust out bit by bit and accept the box for nesting.

Featured in Snow! Glorious Snow!! on September 14th, 2009. On a frigid winter day this bright red cardinal certainly stood out against the snow. Especially since he insisted on hanging around long enough for an entire photo shoot. He was hoping for some seed I guess. (and yes he was rewarded). This image was captured in Lynde Shores Conservation Area in Whitby, Ontario, Canada. Taken with a Canon Rebel XS. This image was in the top 10 in the “Red and White” Challenge in Canada…”The Great White North” , and as such was featured both in that group and briefly on the RedBubble frontpage on February 2, 2009. The Northern Cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis) or Redbird is a North American bird in the cardinal family. It is found from southern Canada through the eastern United States from Maine to Texas and south through Mexico to northern Guatemala and Belize. It can also be found on the Big Island of Hawaii. It is found in woodlands, gardens, shrublands, and swamps. The Northern Cardinal is a mid-sized songbird with a body length of 21–23 centimeters (8.3–9 in). It has a distinctive crest on the head and a mask on the face which is black in the male and gray in the female. It displays sexual dimorphism in its coloration; the male is a vibrant red, while the female is a dull red-brown shade. The Northern Cardinal is mainly granivorous, but also feeds on insects and fruit. The male behaves territorially, marking out his territory with song. During courtship, the male feeds seed to the female beak-to-beak. A clutch of three to four eggs is laid, and two to four clutches are produced each year. It was once prized as a pet, but its sale as cage birds is now banned in the United States by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918.
Have you ever gazed out at something and been startled by the realisation that you’re the only person seeing the world in exactly this perspective at this instant of time? This was such a dream-like view to find whilst climbing up the ridge alongside Orama near sunset. Barbeque Bay is in the lower right of the photo and Little Barrier Island is in the very far distance covered in low clouds. Great Barrier Island, New Zealand.

I think this is my favorite photo I’ve ever taken! I had been taking pics of this bird for about an hour when a dog-walker came along with several dogs off leash. Normally I would have been a bit peeved but I was hoping for a decent flight shot. The bird flew away as the dogs approached and I was happy with the result! I took the photo at Erina Creek while I was waiting to have some photos printed for the camera club comp. / ;-)

Please view larger! Featured in Collective Collage – September 09 – Thank you very much to the hosts! Found this charming little creature in my garden, they frequent my yellowwood trees. I just love how her skin looks like a gorgeous pebble mosaic in miniature. She was about 10 cm head to tail and full of fiery attitude – suitable for a tiny dragon like this one. I reckon God has such fun with each chameleon he creates, placing their tiny jewel tiles in place on their perfect armour… Taken with my Canon 400D
