Tony Stoddard posted this excellent photo on #Flickr today of a kōtare/NZ kingfisher that he rescued yesterday from two lanes of speeding car traffic after it had been hit by a car.
Tony reports that luckily, after 2.5 hours, the bird had perked up and was ready to be released.
First full day in Cape May, NJ ... Hiked to the lighthouse and state park/wildlife sanctuary, with dolphins and American oystercatchers along the way. Swans put on a show in the park.
Anybody here with experience on the sounds a nestling or fledgling Anna's hummingbird makes? I am hearing a strange "peeping" that I've never heard before and an adult is seemingly responding. I posted last week about encountering what I thought was a juvenile, so there could be a second one too. I could not locate where the sound was coming from to get a visual on the "peeping" today.
I've been busy over the last several weeks and haven't been posting much but we've had a few good lifer weeks recently so here we go.
We were visiting my parents in South Central Pennsylvania and got a glimpse of this Sora..... with chicks!
