My neighbour was showing me how the sparrows were taking pieces out of broccoli plants.

I saw a baby Raven hopping around in someoneā€™s back yard north of hereā€¦I hadnā€™t realised they were even out of the nest! He was very cute,being watched and visited by his parents as he had a broken wing.He had such a funny low guttural call šŸ™‚
 
And they are singingā€¦cue music:
ā€œI wish they all could be California Gulls!ā€(Please Note: This uploaded content is no longer available.)
 
Dangit. Now Iā€™m gonna have that song stuck in my head all night.
 
Yesterday as I was driving towards the sea I noticed a v formation of ibis.They often come up this way ,more North on a wet year but the swamps are drying up again.Some of the swans I saw starting to construct nests have packed up and headed for wetter southern country as the swamps receded.
Driving home in the dark last night I saw a brown shape on the road in the headlights.I went back, and found it to be a Wattle bird just sitting there with his eyes closed šŸ™‚ My guess was he had been hit slightly,stunned and as it grew dark couldnā€™t fly away .
Anyway,I carried him over to bushes and he then flew towards them so all was good .
 
Hereā€™s a really scruffy looking California Gull in AZ I found last Labor Day. Must be a rough trip across the desert.

I saw my first Grizzly Bear today . Six to be exact.

And in other news, yesterday I was the first person to record on eBird a Common Loon at Apgar in Glacier National Park.

If one were to look at the historical records of Apgar on eBird they would notice that I am also the last person to record a Barrowā€™s Goldeneye thus proving that the last will be first. Woohoo!

Bear and bird pics coming soon.
 
Trumpeter Swans. These birds were almost extinct when I first started birding.

Moluccan cockatoos are supposedly as intelligent as human three year olds.

Here Gotcha the Moluccan Cockatoo meets another of his species.
