That Awkward Moment With Feral Cats and Family

10,000 Birds

I come from a large family: five sisters, two brothers and almost everyone has kids. Most of my family lives in Indiana, but thanks to social media we can easily keep in touch. Case in point: some of my family members have become active with feral cat colony organizations. I have mixed feelings about TNR.

15 Australian Birds (Episode 2)

10,000 Birds

Some more photos of Australian birds mixed with irrelevant facts and mediocre half-jokes, as a way to pass away the time while being under lockdown in Shanghai (note: it is over now but this post was written during the lockdown).

The eggs hatched out around 20th June after 28 days of incubation and the Pied Oystercatcher family were soon on the move.

Foster to Toora

10,000 Birds

I always approach the bridge slowly to see what bird species are below and around the area. There is a family of feral foxes that I often encounter near Bennison Creek. Once I find a few active species I watch and wait. However, we all understand that the guides are there for human reference and not birds!

The Glitter in the Green: In Search of Hummingbirds–A Hummer Book Review

10,000 Birds

If you had your choice of one bird family to pursue, to seek out and observe and photograph and kvell over, which one would you choose? A passion for one bird family is also very useful.
