| 説明 | **SPOILER ALERT!** Think I figured out what it is.. Posted at bottom.PROJECT: Backyard Pishing, Private Residence, Old Talking Rock Hwy, Talking Rock, Pickens County, North GATAKEN: 2014.07.12; Summer warm with some muggy leftover from yesterday's short rainCAMERA: Canon SX10 IS (FUN!)I like to label these shots "BBSW"... bird butt says what. This one actually needs ID. I do have better pics of their side view, this is just a teaser until I can get the rest up. That GREAT camouflage going on there is why this one was chosen for now.Also just took a better video of one of these guys running around on the walkway feet from my own feet. I know what I think they are but haven't found a pic that matches well enough. That tells me I'm surely wrong so I'm throwing it out there to see if anyone knows. I've got an old 1966 Golden Birds of North America that I've found 3 totally different birds that are possibilities. Pics online, though, aren't coming close enough for a positive ID.The one I think it is the most.... Cornell's All About Birds range map says should be nowhere near here right now, let alone breeding. The pic you're looking at is the rearend of a fledgling that was being fed by an adult just seconds before.Biggest hint I've got right now is they wobble like nobody's business. They look like their shocks fell off 3 miles back yonder. Almost takes Dramamine to watch the couple videos I'll be uploading to Youtube hopefully soon. For a split second when I first saw them, I thought they had a health issue like constipation or a defecation problem. That's what the behavior looks like but it's species specific behavior because they're all doing it.... *A LOT*... even when standing still.They run like I've seen Killdeer, Robins, and Thrashers do. And I've got a quick video blip of the flight that is straight across, low to the ground and inspires images of birds moving in brush.. They seem to favor poking around in brushy areas (overgrown areas and intentionally placed birdie escape brush piles).So... what birds wobble like Weebles... and would be breeding in North Central Georgia right now..? :)** SPOILER ALERT! ** Think I figured out what these birds are............................................................................................*I THINK*... these guys are Louisiana Waterthrush (LOWA, Seiurus motacilla/Parkesia motacilla).. Breeding range is right, for one thing. Tail bobbing and pink legs are LOWA identifiers, too. Waterthrush was one of the three birds that stood out in the birding guide book.. It's just a little harder to make a positive ID when you're looking at drawings rather than the real deal. :)They're grouped in with warblers, which shocked me. They're water favoring... warblers. And somewhere I read the "thrush" part of their name is for resembling... thrushes. I'll vouch for that. For a tiny split second, I thought they WERE your usual garden variety Thrushes until I realized... they weren't. :)So about that water part, had a bad leak on the city's side of my water meter. Took your typical amount of government time before it was fixed. I actually started thinking they might be contemplating taxes on... waterfront property because of a little stream that started running. Having Waterthrushes make their first appearance at the same time is a pretty funny coincidence.. They're sure not shy about hitting the various bird baths set up out front here, too. :)And PS Not just me intrigued with these newcomers. Carolina Wrens have been voicing an alert the last couple days.. And I caught a Tufted Titmouse that flew down and sat about a foot above one earlier today. Titmouse sat there twisting its head from one side to the other as it sized up the newcomer. Very funny to witness. I take it Waterthrushes aren't something any of these guys see in the nearby surrounding wild, either. Interesting :) |
