Some makeup, there.. now let the weekend parties begin!

Swinging Chick!!!

This hawk has been flying around my home for quite an while already. Every now and then I saw it fly by.. but never while sitting down.

Today it sat on a tree which is about 100 meters from my home and I was able to snap the photo.

Focal length 35m equiv 3123mm. Jumping autofocus was not helping too much

Easter chicks at Kamala market, Phuket

Does anyone know how these chicks are painted? Food coloring to the water and submerging the birds there?

I am headed down to northern Songkhla this coming week, so hope to add new contributions .... I am sort of running short of material ....

Should be birds to see along with farm photos and flowers!!!!....

Open bill stork by the bridge over the klong going into Jatajak park.

Seems to be surviving there OK, must be able to get a feed of fish.

Recently started taking pix of birds in TL be interested in corresponding with anyone else interested.

I like this for the pattern of the branches; but it's got a bird in it too....

Tailcoat, check. Ready for the party.

(What bird is this)

Hi Oilinki

It is a lesser Racket-tailed Drongo.

Good photo mate.

A nest with the power on----- or on the power or something

A Red collared Dove on a pole outside our house.

These tangle of wires are good for something.

Farther to the Racket Tailed Drongo :

Here is the Greater version. Check out the difference.

At Erawan National Park Kanchanaburi earlier this month.

What type of owl is it ?

Hi KC71

If the photo was taken in Thailand then I suspect it is a Collared Scops Owl.

This answer was given in another thread.

Your image shows a (Oriental) Bay Owl. Look on the link below for data.

http://www.birdlife.org/datazone/speciesfactsheet.php?id=2160

Philip Round in his guide to the Birds of Thailand (co-authored with Boonsong
Lekagul) writes following on the behaviour of this species: "Often perches
one foot above the other on vertical or steeply sloping branches and vines in
forest understorey." Your bird shows this behaviour.
