Field Notes

Notes:

A very cute (and obliging) pied butcherbird. I like the second shot because it looks like it's waving at the camera; however, it was actually just scratching its head!

@Emma - no, I didn't know that! Smart birds.

Did you know that they catch insects and hang their prey on shrubs? Kind of stocking the pantry.
