Earlier today, a happy chirp mixed with the demonic sounds of begging Starling babies and the goofy squeaks of young Grackles - the baby House Finches have hit feeders. I love this stage when they still have the little tufts. They are full of personality and totally adorable. #birds
injured hawk alert
so about a half hour ago I opened the door and found this friend standing on top of the trash bin right beside the door. His wing is injured, and he's weirded out.
I'm trying to get in touch with the relevant experts over here, and I got him some water - meanwhile figured I'd share his pics because some of you will know things.
He's got a BIG head, but otherwise is probably coopers' hawk size?
Back in mid-May I saw a bunch of white-crowned sparrows in a line along my back fence. Today I saw a pair hanging around my front yard, and letting me get close enough to take not-great photos of them, one at a time.

It was worth braving the #melbourne morning cold for a walk today as I was rewarded with a tree full of rainbow and musk lorikeets

This morning I woke up to the pleasing news that my two entries in 'Australasia's Top Emerging Photographers', a competition for amateurs and early career pros run by Australian publication Capture Magazine, have come second and fourth in the 'Animals' category. Not too shabby!
