We are getting a ton of snow today, but that doesn't stop the little birds from hitting the feeder.

Thank you for the compliments Mike.
The Adult Egrets are highly protective of their young and guard them well.
The young are in awe of their Parents.
Happy trails.

Thanks Mike.
Yeah they do resemble the Three Stooges.

Common Bronzewing [Phaps chalcoptera] is a medium sized pigeon found throughout most parts of Australia
It feeds on seeds and other vegetation, foraging on the ground and drinking water frequently.

Found on a back road in rather dark conditions today.
Beautiful birds that were once much more plentiful

The sound of them escaping in a flurry of wings is easily recognised if not observed

Very nicely captured, Richard! They certainly are an attractive looking pigeon. Love the green/yellow on their wings. I'm sorry to hear that these Common Bronzewing's have decreased in population numbers.

All four of the shots in this series, are terrific captures of the the snowy egret in hot pursuit, Kirk! You consistently capture different birds in unusual, but very interesting positions. That is a big part of your style, and it's really very nice!
