I guess i had better read up on Birder lingo

Hawk...(?) Maehaad Beach, Koh Phengan

Thanks !.... Boy!!!! ..... these birds sure get around ! But guess with migratory birds that's what they do! i guess that is why Thali Noi Lake in Songklha has so many birds in January, in particular~ !!!

That's a good, but sad, image. What became of it Fred?

Noisy bird.

Lonely bird.

It eventually ran off. I hope a cat didn't get it. It was a busy day at the temple with a big festival on and it had fallen from a tree. I put it in a cage for a while but felt sorry and removed it. Asked around if anyone was able to care for it or not but no takers. As a monk I wasn't in a position to jump on a motorbike and take it to the vet.

Hello breakfast...

Little Egret, Lumpini Park

(his eyes are bigger than his belly)

UFO. Model and maker unknown.

Uh.. It's difficult to take pictures of the birds. I have an hawk close to my home. I can hear it's screams every day and every now and then see it fly between the trees. But to take an photo.. I'll try another 2 weeks

My favorite birds in Thailand. They always seems to go as couples. Somehow looking like they are up to something not so good.. but still in the curious and funny way.

Sometimes get a bird flying into the house. When I shot this I didn't notice his mate hovering just on the other side of the window.

Tag, you're it.

A broken wing is a death sentence for a wild bird usually. Maybe not for an ostrich, certainly any that need to fly to feed/escape.

Wife got this shot on her iPhone. Our cat was trying to eat it.

I once untangled a small owl from the fishing net that is used to grow cucumber vines, it's talons were as sharp as a hypodermic needle......ouch!

My Conures.

Hope it worked.

How many birds here?!!! Thali Noi area, Songkhla, in January.

Twins. Note the mate at the top of the screen screaming by.

They look like sun parakeets, a native of South America...

They are endangered in the wild.

Sun Conures. They call em Som Canoua or something sounding like that in Thailand. I got the more yellow one in Dec 2011 and she was about a month old.

The other 2 we got as newborns in April 2012. Fed em with syringes. They are great birds and very smart. Like having 3 little kids. The older one took right to

the new ones so nice happy family now.
