we also enjoy when they do their batman pose.
Ours, here on the east coast, are all black…no white. These are beautiful birds!
I’ve only ever seen the sleeker double-crested. These are impressive looking!
much less ragged (and evil looking) than our familiar double crested
Another familiar but not exactly…
Who is that? what a beauty!
Kererū - the NZ wood pigeon. they are very large, and hearing the wings flap is really cool.
I would like to make friends with that pigeon
apparently a farmer didn’t take them with him before the subdivision was put in, so they are often seen around the loading dock of the local discount grocery store
uncropped for context
I didnt realise the black swans made it to NZ! I am learning a lot about what birds make the trip over right now.
Great blue herons
Rusty blackbird?! Red-shouldered hawks. Female American Goldfinch?
Blue Jay (not my favorite bird, but wow.)
the colours on that jay and the unique angle are stunning
agreed
