"I am a white parrot native to Australia. My most distinctive feature is my elongated, pale upper beak, which I use to dig for roots and corms. I often forage on the ground in large flocks and sometimes exhibit a salmon-pink wash on my face and throat."

The Fieldfare has a chestnut-brown back and yellowy breast, streaked with black. It has a black tail, dark wings and pale grey rump and head, with a black-tipped yellow bill. It is perching at the top of a bare Sycamore, although the tree is in bud in December!

🌎 California Quail (Callipepla californica) The California Quail is a plump, small to medium-sized bird recognizable by its distinctive, forward-curving tear-drop plume (black on males, smaller and brown on females) and a scaled belly pattern. Males boast a sharp black face bordered in white, and a gray-blue chest, whereas females are primarily brown and camouflaged. They are highly social, living in groups called coveys across the brushy habitats, chaparral, and open woodlands of the western US and Baja California. These birds primarily forage on the ground, consuming seeds and leaves. Around five to seven subspecies are recognised. Gemini 3 (Edited) Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1) Fun fact: They are known for their characteristic "Chicago" call and their tendency to run rather than fly when threatened. 📷: Photo by Nel_Botha via Pixabay https://pixabay.com/photos/california-quail-male-crest-bird-4924232/ QDBB

Today it was 36 degrees and rainy so the waterfowl were thrilled! They could feel their faces & they didn't have to have brain freeze while eating. Tomorrow will be a different story. Praying nobody gets frostbite 🥶 🙏 🦆❣️ #MallardMonday #ducks #birds #waterfowl #BirdsOfTheWorld #Audubon

An American robin stands on a snowy railing, with snow flurries all around him, facing to the right. His red breast and belly are dominant, and his beak is orange/yellow. Photo taken in Walpole MA USA

Here’s my New England version of the #HolidayRobin during snow flurries. He is a robin, so Rob says he counts. #birds #BirdOfTheDay #nature #robins #birdohotography 🪶

Band-winged Nightjar in northern Peru. #birding #birdsoftheworld

A close up of a small bird with a rufous chest and tummy, a long black beak, and blue back and head dotted with small white spots. It's facing the right, and is perched on a thin bent branch. The background is a diffuse light green with darker patches.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is (rather unkindly I thought) #AlansNemesis, Kingfishers. Sorry Alan, but here's a Kingfisher (Alcedo atthis) from #Extremadura, SW Spain for you. 😀

These Common Redshanks are in their winter plumage, with light-toned greyish-brown head and upper parts, whitish under parts, and long orangey-red legs. Their dark brown eyes are surrounded by a white ring, and their long slender bill is orangey-red with a black tip.

A cormorant balanced on a floating, yellow boundary marker, its head turned towards me.

Cormorant giving me a *look*... #birdsoftheworld

Yes, I edited him out of the crop (my Google Pixel phone has this feature). Foreshortening accounts for his size, I think. There's probably a few metres still to go before he's level with the door. Odd I didn't notice him though! 😯

👍 They should be working now
