A beautiful batch of cuties Doug - the treatment of colours make them particularly 'live'. Great job.
Enjoy Kaydence to the full while there - these grow up so fast. Amitiés Philippe Doug Herr wrote:
I'll be returning to California on Friday so this is the last post from Hawaii. Little Kaydence is doing very well and Kelsey is complaining that at two weeks old, Kaydence is growing up too quickly. Kelsey has recovered enough from the birth that we were able to go hiking (with Kaydence) today. Kelsey swears that Kaydence will grow up outdoors. A few more pictures: A Red-whiskered Bulbul: http://www.wildlightphoto.com/birds/pycnonotidae/rwbu01.html The Nutmeg Mannikin,a member of the Waxbill family (Estrildidae) is a tiny seed-eater that is easily overlooked in grassy areas: http://www.wildlightphoto.com/birds/estrildidae/numa01.html http://www.wildlightphoto.com/birds/estrildidae/numa02.html The Java Sparrow is another Waxbill, often kept as a cage bird: http://www.wildlightphoto.com/birds/estrildidae/jasp00.html technical stuff: R8/DMR, 280mm f/4 APO-Telyt-R + 1.4x APO-Extender-R, shoulder stock & monopod. These are all introduced species. Many of Hawaii's native landbirds are either extinct or close to extinction, due to a very large degree to introduced species, for example: the introduced Indian Mongoose preys on ground-nesting species, and avian malaria (not a native organism) has eliminated most native bird species at the lower (warmer) elevations.
