We spotted our first northern flickers (𝘊𝘰𝘭𝘢𝘱𝘵𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘴) on our hike yesterday! A pair of them. I heard them before I saw them-- their call is quite distinctive. They were too quick for me to get any pictures, but at least my teen got this shot of the backside of one:

The back of a bird perched on a tree with furrowed gray bark. The bird's head, too, appears gray, with a red patch at the base. The bird's back and wings have a pattern of black bars.

I love that in Australia it’s completely normal to see birds that look like they belong in the rainforest on your morning walk through a suburban part of a non-tropical city.

On the excellent BirdLife Australia Instagram one of their scientists recently talked about how Australian birds might be so bright because many tens of thousands of years ago a lot of Australia was covered in rainforest.

Swede’s Photographs

Feeding on the Wing

I’m off to a slow start today and haven’t made much progress. I had hoped to have this done by 9:00 AM, but here we are.

For those who follow my posts—Ben started Laverdia today. I also decided to take him off Tramadol, as I suspected it was suppressing his appetite and leaving him in a dazed state. Already, he seems more like his old self. We'll see how things go from here.

The ruby-throated hummingbirds (Archilochus colubris) seem to favor this old rustic feeder above all the others—though, perhaps it’s simply because the newer one is still empty.

"The image captures the delicate grace of a ruby-throated hummingbird suspended in midair, her tiny body hovering effortlessly as she feeds. The shimmering iridescence of her feathers shifts between emerald green and golden hues, catching the light with each rapid flutter of her wings. Her long, needle-like black beak is delicately dipped into the artificial flower of the hummingbird feeder, drawing nourishment with precise elegance. Her tiny talons barely brush the surface of the feeder, offering the slightest touch before she lifts again into weightless flight. The soft blur of her wings contrasts with the sharp focus of her body—an intricate balance between motion and stillness. The background fades into gentle, muted tones, ensuring the hummingbird remains the undeniable focal point of the image. The scene evokes a feeling of quiet beauty, a fleeting moment in the life of one of nature’s most extraordinary aerial acrobats." Copilot with edits
