    The poisoning of the Rio Doce, Brazil.

    To get the message across that this is a terrible disaster people need to show the destruction. The images on this blog all show badly polluted waters but with healthy looking birds on them. It conveys an idea that the birds are not affected. I find this disgusting betrayal of the truth. ...

    Hi need Id with night bird calls in Cairns FNQ Australia

    Which friar bird These are the friar birds that I have seen in my yard. I took these photos in 2007-2008 when I had seen them close up in trees and bushes close to my house. I didn't see which bird made the sounds but today I heard the sound several times in amongst their other familiar...

    Hi need Id with night bird calls in Cairns FNQ Australia

    I've listened to all the friar bird (helmeted and hornbill) but I'm still not convinced. This one that I found is similar. http://www.xeno-canto.org/275415 Is the same bird sound?

    Hi need Id with night bird calls in Cairns FNQ Australia

    Thanks everyone andy the youtube link of the gecko is similar but not the sound I have heard. I googled the red necked Crake and I found this page http://ibc.lynxeds.com/sound/red-necked-crake-rallina-tricolor/adult-giving-contact-calls-chicks which could account for both the sounds being...

    Hi need Id with night bird calls in Cairns FNQ Australia

    Hi andy, The sounds come from the very tall bushes and trees outside my window at night. Although the first one I have heard in the afternoon but the second one I hear in the evening around 8-9pm. There are plenty of geckos in my house that make a somewhat similar sound but not so loud. If not...

    I have heard these birds many times. I don't remember if they are around all year round or only in the "winter" season (June-Aug). Can someone tell me what birds they are, thanks

    I need to identify these birds Thanks

    Thanks again. I have also heard the harsher call of the black butcher birds in the daytime when they have complained. Sometimes the kookaburras get to the chicken first and the butcher birds protest with this call. They won't tackle the kookaburras, they usually wait until the kookaburras have...

    I need to identify these birds Thanks

    Thank you very much for your identifications. I did not know most of them and you have confirmed the ones I thought I knew. I had not known the first calls were the butcher birds. Some of the calls that they have made when they come early in the morning and wake me up for some chicken are in the...

    I need to identify these birds Thanks

    some birds songs which birds are they? I have some audio of some of the dawn chorus last summer and I am wondering what birds these are. At the end of the audio file there is the oooooing sounds but you have to turn up the volume to hear it above the other birds. Is that the Pied Imperial...

    I need to identify these birds Thanks

    thanks for your information Yes the sound is a long drawn out oooooing call and it suits some areas of my video where I am making a point that is significant. And it is during the day, but I have heard it in the late afternoon. I don't know if there are owls around my place (Whitfield hills)...

    I need to identify these birds Thanks

    Thank you for your help identifying the birds. With the Pied Pigeons are they here every year around Nov Dec Jan and then migrate? I would also like to ask the birds I sometimes hear ooooooing are they some type of owl?

    I need to identify these birds Thanks

    The two pictures of the pigeons (I had thought them doves) are old. The two birds in the tree is Nov. 2006 and the one close up is Dec. 2007. I had seen them in the years after that but I haven't seen them in the recent years. I just thought that they were still in the area. Do you mean they...
