Da_Gut@idzie I hear Robins, Cardinals, mockingbirds, morning doves and chimney swifts on a daily basis. Plus, lots of other birds that I cannot identify. Oh Carolina Wrens, but I cannot identify the majority of their calls.
I live in North Georgia, USA.
I am hyper aware of the sound of chimney swifts. They are one of my favorite birds. They have a very distinct chittering call that once you know it you’re never going to forget it.

Sydney BirderLocal group of Glossy Black-Cockatoos now six strong!
Every now and then over the last few years, I’ve seen a group of Glossy Black-Cockatoos on the banks of Manly Dam. They have a few favourite spots, always where the Casuarina trees are in seed.
For the first couple of years, there were always three birds in the group. I don’t know if they were the same birds each time. Then suddenly there were five. And yesterday, for the first time, there were six. Glossies are rare compared to the other types of cockatoos in our area (Sulphur-crested, Yellow-tailed Black, and Corellas), so it’s wonderful to see this group growing in size.
Yesterday was a muggy, grey day. My camera kept misting up due to the high humidity. Every now and then the mist turned to light, drifting rain that settled into blotches on the lens. Still, the video gives you and idea of the gentle, calm presence of these large birds.
Glossies are a type of parrot. In Australia we have 56 species of parrots, including cockatoos, lorikeets, rosellas, ringnecks and budgerigars. Check out my previous sightings of Glossy Black-Cockatoos.

Olive-backed Oriole calling and mimicking other birds
I listened to this Olive-backed Oriole for a while, trilling its characteristic call interspersed with imitations of other birds. I managed to get part of its performance on video. As well as being pretty and having a lovely song, this Oriole is an excellent mimic.
At the start of the video, the Oriole reacts to the shriek of Masked Lapwings (also known as Spur-winged Plovers). After a couple of seconds, the Oriole starts its own performance again.
Common name: Olive-backed Oriole
Scientific name: Oriolus sagittatus

Date spotted: 17 March 2026 (autumn)
Location: Manly Dam Park, New South Wales, Australia: 33°46’31.7″S 151°14’47.8″E

Our first and closest sighting of Sandhill Cranes taken several years ago when a pair visited a wetland marsh in our area far from their normal range. We approached the secluded area quietly and crouched in a thicket of bushes and trees to ensure we didn’t disturb them. SACR 1/2
