leaden crow-shrike

i saw my first ever currawong! this guy belongs to the western subspecies of grey currawong (Strepera versicolor plumbea), historically known as the leaden crow-shrike. the wikipedia page listed it as a “leaden cuckoo-shrike” in some places, but checking the cited Whitlock (1910), that seems to have been a mistake.

brown honeyeater!

i was unsure of this one and this other one, because they seemed way too round to be brown honeyeaters! but now i think these are just juveniles.

anyone know why cohost’s thumbnailer destroys this?

is this thing on?

testing my new camera right after sunset. not gonna pretend these are great shots, but the fact that i can get something almost usable out of it at iso 3200 is neat.

Safes @safes007 asked…

Hiya,

What are you using to take photos of birds? Those circle photos are really cool, are they edited or come from a particular kind of camera or something?

Thanks

thanks! the circles are from taking them through binoculars (this camera through these, for the most part). sometimes i end up zooming or cropping the circle out of frame.

this is pretty cumbersome, since any movement or tilt of my phone relative to the binoculars can ruin the shot, but hey, we make do with the tools we have :)
