Backyard Birdies

or a whiporwill or Chuck-will's-widow, not sure where you took the picture , they kinda look alike. The nighthawk does migrate to South America, so if you took the pic there it could be that.

I am still thinking nighthawk, though I have not seen one close up, not sure about the eye-lash deals

I am sorry -- the first bird was photo grphed on Rio Negro. Is this the whipporwheel?

The second bird ( a hawk of sometype ) was photogrphed in Jax FL -- is this the night hawk.

Much obliged for the ID.

The first unknown one (post 78), with the eyelash deals is likely a nighthawk, they do migrate to south america, and can also been seen here in florida. That other bird is a a hawk, a red-tail or red shoulder, I am really bad at those, but I am pretty sure it is not a sharp-chinned, (this time).

The new brooder my worker Roberto built for the new baby guinea hens, I have 20 in here now, and another 40 on the way, I hope to turn them loose on the farm and see if they combat the rhino beetle problem any. so far only 1 died, they will stay in the brooder for another 3 weeks and then they get put on the ground in the big pen for another 3 weeks and then its out into the big wide open, there are also some sebright chickens mixed in with the guinea fowl

mexican tree ducks, aka whistling ducks, we have about 4 or 5 pair that nest around here and use the pond as home during spring and summer

Here's a pic I took of a tiny bird nest in our Angel's Trumpet tree (Brugmansia) a while back. Can anyone identify the tiny bird?

Thanks for sharing your bird pics Angela. Some very nice shots!

Hawaii Island (Big Island), leeward coast, 19 degrees N. latitude, south Kona mauka at approx. 380m (1,250 ft.) and about 1.6 km (1-mile) upslope from ocean.

 

No record of a hurricane passing over this island (yet!).  

Summer maximum rainfall - variable averaging 900-1150mm (35-45") - Perfect drainage on black volcanic rocky soil.  

Nice sunsets!

The tiny bird in the nest is a Japanese White-eye. It's the most common passerine bird in the Hawaiian Islands.

You have probably heard its pleasant (and loud!) song. They even sell a singing toy White-eye:
