sparky-elpaso Posted April 22, 2012 #1556 Share Posted April 22, 2012 This little guy came down and took bread from my hand while we were at the zoo in Sydney, AU. Does anyone know what it is? Boeckli? I got a bird book but couldn't find him. And while I'm at it saw this little critter at an animal park in Adelaide - not in an exhibit, just running around on the ground.

Have found the bird - actually had seen one just a few days before you posted this :). It's a "Noisy Miner" (see http://www.birdsinbackyards.net/species/Manorina-melanocephala) No idea though who your furry friend is :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zackiedawg Posted April 25, 2012 #1560 Share Posted April 25, 2012 My cat Mickey, loving the spotlight (actually standing on my billiard table looking up at the light): And lying in the dark under the table, when I crawled coverty on the floor from another room at ground level to see if I could surprise her...of course, she was already staring at me as I eased quietly around the corner (to a human, I was quiet...to a cat, I probably sounded as subtle as a marching band). ISO6400 and a 1/15 shutter at F3.5, so you know there wasn't much light (that, and the huge pupils!): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky-elpaso Posted April 25, 2012 #1561 Share Posted April 25, 2012 (edited) Thanks Boeckli. The description of the bird was right on - bold and curious. He didn't seem to be a bit afraid - I'm sure I wasn't the first person he conned a snack from. Edited April 25, 2012 by sparky-elpaso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDSue Posted April 28, 2012 #1564 Share Posted April 28, 2012 This is such a beautiful bird. I csn't wait to see the Discovery in her spot. I watched the Enterprise fly to NY (sadly on my computer screen) and give a great show and fly by. Here"s a few from the Discovery Flight last week, between the direct sun and the clouds, I had a hard time getting a decent: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky-elpaso Posted April 28, 2012 #1565 Share Posted April 28, 2012 MDSue - I'd call those shots more than decent. How cool to be able to see that. The shuttle used to land here in El Paso at Biggs Airfield going from California to Florida sometimes but I've never been in the right place at the right time to see it.

MDSue Posted April 28, 2012 #1567 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Thanks for the compliments, I love all the other shots posted here as well. I always look forward to seeing the new pictures that everyone posts. I had just gotten back from a cruise and was off work for two weeks when they announced the shuttle would be flying over the DC area. I figured my work would be none to happy if I took yet another day off, but the temptation was too great. These shots were taken on the roof of a building at Goddard Space Flight Center where my husband and daughter both work and I used to work many years ago. The did a direct fly over and to see it fly right over my head was very exciting. I have a special love for the space program. I hope we get a replacement vehicle built soon. It is so sad to have given up our manned space flight program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDSue Posted May 4, 2012 #1572 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Very cool shot of Mt Ranier, Dileep! Boeckli- and I love the pics from Australia, too. It's always nice to see cool plants and animals from other parts of the world. Susan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
