GracesWarbler Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 I saw some lifers today! A Roseate Spoonbill and a Green Heron. Here's the spoonbill with a fish. No idea why it was in Phoenix; it was the only one, and apparently it's been hanging out there this year. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smskelton Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 This is an African Weaverbird. Related to the finch family. One of my favorites because of its elaborate nest building. I included a picture of the nest. The male attracts the female during mating season by hanging upside from the nest, fluttering its wings and calling. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of them about but infrequent enough that they're still exciting to see. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
