MAINE, USA. :heart_eyes:

(Ok, I know, there are plenty of deadly creatures here…)

I got American Wigeons and a leucistic Mallard for my birds of the week.

Thank you! Australia is so beautiful despite its dangerous animals.

Good idea!

I’m not one to boast, but, we’ve got the deadliest bird in the world, (Southern Cassowary) the most poisonous snakes in the world, and the most venomous spider (Sydney Funnel Web) in Australia, and, even the world. Sometimes it’s terrifying, but, you get used to living with dangerous animals.

Nat as byutiful as your neighba New Zealand… jokes, both countries are great in their own way. NZ doesn’t have anything like the Outback or Lake Hillier or Great Barrier. I visited Australia many times BEFORE I FOUND OUT ABOUT INATURALIST OR EBIRD.

You can’t even walk in a field with long grass in Sydney in peace.

Such a contrast from NZ lol… we have no land snakes and our venemous spider is endangered.

Bird of the week poll is open.

  • Hawks
  • Gulls
0 voters

Vote in the bird that you want to be the bird of the week. The poll closes tomorrow.

Venomous?? :wink:

I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure they do have keel backs which are poisonous

Don’t forget Relict Gulls or Saunders Gulls.

Bird of the Week poll is closed :closed_lock_with_key:. The winner is the Hawks. Sometime this week try to find a Hawk species. Then feel free to share a story about the bird you found. It’ll help us gather more knowledge about the Hawk species.

I saw 5 Eastern Red-tailed Hawks yesterday while in a car driving along the highway (All seen in different spots, not all together).
BOTW Done :grin:

I saw a RTHA being mobbed a few days ago, but it doesn’t count. Still very cool!

I want to visit NZ for the Lord of the Rings part :grin:

Yeah Australia is dangerous!

Hehe I’m a big fan
