    Breeding Behaviour of Chihuhuan Ravens in South East Arizona

    I retired in SE Arizona which is an amazing place for birding. I was hoping I might see an occasional Chihuahuan Raven as opposed to the more Common Ravens in the area. Turns out Chihuhuan Ravens are a yard bird for me! But the big puzzle is this one. This is the 2nd season I am here in the...

    Exotic escaped Waxbill in California?

    I had this photo passed on to me by a local person here in Marin County California. It reminds me of the African waxbills but perhaps its just an oddly colored local species. Any suggestions? Definitely a mystery to me anyway. Thanks very much

    Oddity strange coloration Lake Tahoe California

    This bird was filmed in a settled location in Lake Tahoe California. The lady that filmed it gave me very little information. I suspect it is a leucistic or specimen with abnormal melanin in its plumage. This should be a fun mystery for others. It has me scratching my head and I know birds...

    Orange-bellied Parrot of Australia critical

    Now with less than 50 individuals in the wild this gorgeous little parrot is in peril and it will take careful management if it is ever to survive. I had the good fortune of filming them in their native Tasmania a couple of years ago. Here is a youtube clip of this great little parrot...

    Correct pronounciation of 2 parrot species

    I know that depending on where you live Latin names in English can take on different pronounciations. For example friends of mine pronounce Parula Warbler Pah - Roo - Lah yet others pronounce it: Pair - you - Lah So how do folks (especially Australians) pronounce these two? I sincerely...

    Wildlife documentaries and what kind of narrator?

    I was wondering if folks here have favorite types of narrators for wildlife documentaries. For example actor Colin Friels (mild Aussie accent) did an excellent job in the ABC produced Film Land of Parrots. More specifically if you are watching a doco on wildlife what type of voice/accent do...

    Australian Butcher bird Quiz with a Twist - any experts out there?

    Okay this will be a test for the Aussie experts for sure. I recorded this video clip in far north Queensland at Artemis Station which is north of Laura in remote Cape York. There are potentially 3 Butcherbird species present. I dont have a pic or visual of the bird calling but I have the...
