Actually only the Gray Butcherbird is endemic to Australia and there is a subspecies in Tasmania I think. The Azure Kingfisher (with all of it's subspecies) is little bit more widespread.@shire_guy Wonderful pictures! Omg azure Kingfisher, allright only in Australia I see..

One more hot day here (well, right now - about 4h after my walk it is ~60-70% overcast and bit of cooler!).
First there were several Japanese White Eyes foraging something on Blue Ginger (actually that plant is Tradeskantia!)
After that I found a new spot with a pool for the bathing birds. There were few Yellow-faced Canary in the beginning...
Soon some Java Sparrows arrived. First one is looking bit of shocked by the mess caused from Canary but soon it found it's way to the water when another one was patiently waiting for the "dust" to diminish...

...nice response. Thanks. No false modesty: I don't know that much about birds and get rather excited when I spot what looks to be one I haven't seen--and of course photographed."...number of 'firsts' recently" - that is awesome! I'm waiting to see something "first" here for ~2 years
I'm still on the lookout for a male Summer Tanager--shouldn't be too difficult if one is in the area!

From July, a few of the birds we have in residence out in the local mountains.
Male CA Quail posing.
A juvenile Lark Sparrow.
A juvenile CA Quail.
A juvenile CA Scrub-jay caught a moth but wasn't sure what to do next.
A CA Thrasher juvenile begging mom for food.
A juvenile Acorn Woodpecker being told it can't hang out with the cool kids.
And a Northern Flicker adult considering if junior really needs more food.

I like in the first two how the light is coming on the spot you wish (well, at least I wish...)
