I saw this buzzard on my walk with the dogs around the reservoirs this afternoon. I moved slightly to get a better angle, and he buggered off.

A Pair of Green Jays Deep in Trees by Debra Martz
Green Jays are a bit skittish and prefer to stay deep in the trees.
These brilliant green, yellow, and blue jays are birds of the tropics whose range barely stretches to southern Texas.

Just time for a quick look through photos from yesterday’s hike. Had to get out despite the cool winds to get my mind off the building Constitutional Crisis. Was looking for new arrivals of Northern Parula (have been reported) and Blue-grey Gnatcatcher. Was trying to work with a. Blue-grey when this Ruby-crowned Kinglet popped up and started singing and flaring its crest. Had a wonderful time whistling to it and having is sing back in response for about 5 minutes. Eased the day.
Heavy volunteer day today, and down one chainsaw with an oiler problem. The oilers on these battery models are tough to repair - basically take it completely apart, so we may have to use one of the gas models (ick) until we can do surgery (ick).
Happy International Bird Day.
Here is a Gannet taken at a location I'll be visiting again next month.
Feel free to share a bird photo and use the hashtag #InternationalBirdDay. I'll re-toot as many as I can today.

Good morning you lovely lot I am playing Upstairs Ninja again today and tomorrow thanks to Grant who is kindly getting up for the parrots again so I can rest a bit more. He has it down to a fine art now, with hardly much indignant screeching from Madame Ziggy at all this morning
There is complete quiet downstairs now as breakfast is underway and soon they will all be snoozing. I will take my turn, and get some much needed Ziggy cuddles, on Thursday again. Luckily I still have cuddles in the afternoon after work.
Work was very full on yesterday and the next couple of days are looking very busy too. With my energy levels being quite low at the moment it's a wee bit of a struggle, but luckily I don't have anything physical to do. Thinking too hard can be quite tiring though so I try not to think much
Have a lovely day, whatever you get up to
