    #58: Hutton's Vireo, heard "singing" as we finished a gardening project this morning. They're usually here all winter. Earlier this week, Mallard, Cackling Goose and Ring-necked Pheasant were heard. There's a question whether the pheasants are countable. If they only persist because of...

    Name a Bird You've Photographed

    It's the pattern of the name. Red-browed is the same sort of combination as brown-hooded, and treecreeper is the same sort of combination as kingfisher. King is a noun, fisher is "one who fishes". The same as tree is a noun, creeper is "one who creeps". Just the same, practically.

EBird counted the Eastern Rosellas as lifers, though I'd seen them in New Zealand before. It counted them before, but now that I've...
