February 17 - Cleanliness


Cleanliness is for the birds! We have several bird baths in our yard but most are hidden under trees where the little finches and wrens feel safe. This one is a bit easier to photograph and was full of noisy mynas having their morning bath. Quite a social event!

  2. Alas they aren't Noisey Mynas (An Aussie bird) they are Indian Mynas and they kill all the finches and sparrows in an area and are taking over.

    1. sorry Ron, I spelt it wrongly - they are aussies - noisy miners - a honeyeater and easy to tell the difference from the introduced birds because the indian mynas are brown and black, not grey and white even though the eyes are similar. Next time I'll check my spelling :)
