I finally got a shot of a juvenile Red-headed Woodpecker in December. No other individuals around to keep the bird company.

The Crimson Rosella juvenile could be mistaken for another species as it's plumage is so different to that which it will assume on maturity. However, unlike most species, it is just as beautiful as a youngster as it is as an adult. (Please note that this is not a trained or tame creature and is...

Same bird as in Bateleur Juvenile and Bateleur Juvenile 2 (Neils Larsen, Opus editor, asked me to post these here, which I am happy to do).
