After our fantastic Puma Safari and cruising the Chilean Fjords and glaciers we moved on to Costa Rica. Unfortunately our visit was cut short due to some announced strikes of air personnel in Buenos Aires which made us postpone our flight to Costa Rica. Although only a few days there we got some exciting views of birds.

You would think you have to leave the city to find tawny frogmouth. I was very surprised to spot two of them in the front yard of some friends we visited yesterday but I should have known better. From Wikipedia: They can be found in almost any habitat type, including forests and woodlands, scrub and heathland vegetation, and savannahs.[19] However, they are rarely seen in heavy rainforests and treeless deserts.[20] They are seen in large numbers in areas populated with many river gums and casuarinas, and can be found along river courses if these areas are timbered.[6] Tawny frogmouths are common in suburbs, having adapted to human presence. They have been reported nesting in parks and gardens with trees.[6]

All real wildlife photographers and those who believe they are will most likely frown upon these pictures. But Macaws are just so colourful and so beautiful to look at that I would like to share a couple and hope many viewers will enjoy them.

Nestled within the Cooloola region of the Great Sandy National Park, the Noosa Everglades is a spectacular network of pristine waterways and wetlands connecting the Northern Noosa River system on the Sunshine Coast. Black Swans are very common here so to spot a flock of them passing our boat was not surprise at all.

Maleny Bird World is located besides the Botanic Gardens on Maleny Stanley River Rd. Great destination for families and desperate photographers who cannot travel to wildlife destinations due to travel restrictions. Wonder why they named this fellow below Donald?
