Oh, GP, how awful about the Bald Eagle. If they know it is/was a nesting bird, will the eggs/chicks be taken in for raising or will the other bird assume sole responsibility for their care?

The Rainbow Lorikeets are even bossy with each other and were trying to bully each other out of the bird bath. The impact they have on small honeyeaters and less aggressive parrots for food sources and nesting sites is the big problem. The racket they make is deafening. It's as loud as a home security system "screamer". So, I still want the Painted Buntings and you're welcome to as many Rainbow Lorikeets as you want in exchange.

This morning I was down at the local jetty to see if I could see any Osprey (I didn't). There are several poles with lights attached along the jetty. A Cormorant was quite happy sitting there enjoying the first rays of sunshine when a Darter decided it wanted to sit on that particular light. No, it didn't want to sit on any of the other dozen or so vacant lights in the immediate area, it wanted THAT light.
