I've been surrounded by common swifts for the past week, and I was confusing them with swallows!

I am super bummed that I didn't get to participate in the great backyard bird count this year. If by chance you have time today (Monday) you still can. Unfortunately, I can't make it work.

I'm happy to say that the Australian Ravens that make their home in the large Blackbutt Gum in our yard are doing splendidly. They've successfully raised another brood, despite incessant attacks by Common Mynahs and Noisy Miners. I find their melancholy sighs ('Waaaaah') quite poetic.

When I first came to #Australia, finding their cries so different from the guttural sounds of European corvids I was used to, I called them 'the Pathetic Crows'.

#Male #BrewersBlackbird #wild #bird friend in parking lot. Often mistaken for common grackle. They're in the new world #blackbird family. Named after naturalist & ornithologist Thomas Mayo Brewer. Very friendly birds. I love their #iridescent #feathers 😍 Very social & they nest in flocks of about 100 or more. One of my fave little urban birds
