Another week, another bird (Bird Photography Weekly)

This is not the greatest photo, but it’s the last bird from the series at the Koala Sanctuary. I identified it as a Noisy Miner at the time, which I wouldn’t do based solely on this photo.

One of the delights of traveling is that you can see very common birds and find them delightful and fascinating just because they are not found where you live.

Can be very noisy when they want to be.

They are not aggressive but they do sit and scold – noisily! – when you invade their territory. Nice photo!

WOW, that’s a cute one :D !

if you would not recognize it solely on this photo, does that mean you did so because it is noisy?

Fortunately, I was keeping notes of sightings as well as taking photos. I saw it well enough to ID at the time, even if the photo is less than definitive.

That’s a new one for me!

well, I don´t recognise it. Don´t think it visits Sweden :)

We don’t see them in Michigan, either. :)

I just love their name: Noisy Miner.
