    What an amazing bird.  Australia and New Zealand are on my list of places to visit next year! One gets complacent about the birds we see everyday and I am finding as I read through these posts how diverse some of the birds around the world are.  I also realize that the birds in my own backyard are beautiful too.  Daily I see Blue Jays, Northern Cardinals, Redwinged blackbirds, Gold Finches, Starlings, Grackles, Robins, Juncos, a number of different sparrows, Cowbirds, Woodpeckers, Coopers Hawks, and lots of Mourning Doves.  I have to say the Blue Jays are my favourite.

    Interesting, what kind of a Jay is that?  It doesn't look like the blue jays in my area of Ontario.

    @Jeanne I have never heard of this bird either. Where did you see it? Very interesting bird.

    @Danya @Danya,  That is exactly what I do as well.  I am often out with friends hiking and don't want to spent too much time searching through my bird book to find the bird so take a picture and then look it up when I have the time.  I also find then that I can zoom in and focus on a particular part of the bird that helps with identification.

    @Manyu I watched a National Geographic program recently on Cuba where they showed the Bee Hummingbird.  I had no idea a bird could be that small! I love to watch the hummingbirds when I visit Mexico.  We only have the Ruby Throated ones here in Ontario Canada.

    I absolutely love Pileated Woodpeckers.  They are so beautiful.  I have only seen them a few times in Algonquin Park in Ontario, Canada.
