Picked up a couple of nice birds over the Xmas-New Year break.
The only endemic bird species in New South Wales, Australia, the Rockwarbler https://inaturalist.ala.org.au/observations/332727295
And not super rare but I haven’t seen often, the Singing Bushlark https://inaturalist.ala.org.au/observations/333524230
My first Fuscous Honeyeater photo https://inaturalist.ala.org.au/observations/332502714
And the unbelievably cute Owlet Nightjar
Canon R6II with Sigma 150-600mm Contemporary!
I don’t see why not. Birds are for everyone to enjoy!
Thank you!
It’s very good and those are awesome photos! The second photo of the Canada jay is so pretty! That and the picture of the wolf are calendar worthy!
Great!
Every winter for the last few years I have hoped to see snow buntings. Last winter I got a maybe look but this year I finally saw some, over 50!
A Bald Eagle. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/334159272
But… It’s got feathers on its head…
(joking)
And, a Red-shouldered Hawk. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/334223377
I hate it when that happens……(also joking)
You have several birds there that we have in Northern Australia and I was wondering if you were Aussie until you mentioned the Shikra. We have a brown goshawk/collared sparrowhawk combo that is easy to mis-ID so when I googled Shikra and saw the common names I had to smile.
Glad you could finally see some!
They are very cute!
Finally, we got a decent snow, and some fluffy critters to put the camera to the test!

At last, I understand how the camera works! (started using MF now and then, but still mostly an AF guy LOL)
I updated my very long wish lists. Not really sure it counts as a resolution but I’ll try to photograph whatever of these I can.
Umm, I think I was like 3 or 5 meters away, but damn, they’re fast!
NEW LIFER!
A Barred Buttonquail was walking on the road and kept on keeping a long distance from me. My cat finally saw it and charged, and the quail flew off, so all I got was a few bad photos, but I’m pretty sure it’s identifiable. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/334465586.
Now I’m 14 bird species away from my 100 goal at the farm, but only 7 species away from 100 everywhere.
