Once, in France, I did have une salade avec petite oiseau…

It was a lark.
 
Pigeons and don’t laugh. They have an amazingly irritating ability to survive and they also live in among other pigeons and I respect that because despite their repulsiveness they are great survivors. They’re also our neighbors, annoying to be sure as I in the pigeon capital of the world, but they’re everywhere to the point you can hardly notice them.

Eagles would be to obvious and too easy. 😆

And I like Ravens better, Crows are too complicated.
 
It is! He must be aware of the baby magpies squarks that tell him it’s too much 🙂 Last year I was playing with the kitten,and he was springing out from behind the couch at me,hunting and sunk his claws in ,but I noticed when I meowed like a kitten in pain he retracted his claws even giving a lick.
 
Cute. I was wondering if it was the bird making those funny noises.
 
I was fooling around with an old birding friend on Facebook last night and we figured out that this gull I saw in Oregon last winter is not a second year Glaucous-winged Gull as I thought, but in reality is a second year Glaucous Gull. LIFER! I thought it looked unusual, but it was cold and rainy and I was miserable so I took it’s picture in hopes of figuring it out later. He’s a lunker.

Here’s your bird pic of the day, the grey-headed version of the Dark-eyed Junco. Again from last weekend.(Please Note: This uploaded content is no longer available.)
 
The noisiest birds out my window are galahs ,Sulpher crested Cocatoos and corellas .They fly past to the dam for a drink and sit screaming I the trees or pulling the apples off.A different sort of alarm cock in the morning 😁

 
I’ll post the others that are making a racket also,then you can get the idea of who is giving me some more penance on a Friday !

 

I think you can get the idea when all three parrots are in huge flocks flying around what it can sound like!
 
One more and I’ll leave you alone …
This one is just a visitor from the mountains often just before it rains.I love their call.

 
This is a Rufous-crowned Sparrow. We had a moment together last weekend.

These, I believe, are willets, a kind of sandpiper, very common here. I used to see them running along the shore with the smaller sandpipers and I thought they were parents with their young, but now I know they are different kinds of birds.

I would ask @tad to verify my identification, but they never let me get close enough and my cell phone is no good for long distance photos 😠

And then there’s this bird, the whirlybird, very common in the skies above Los Angeles :roll_eyes:

Whirlybirds are quite common here. They are very temperamental creatures. If you even think about pointing a laser pointer at them, they get very upset.
