The cover of the "Blue Line Birds" hand made zine.

Pages two and three of the zine, with an American Goldfinch and black capped chickadee

Blue jay and red-breasted nuthatch

Grasshopper sparrow on the beach cover, with the line "#1 free bird guide between Western and Cicero

I found an absolutely charming hand-drawn zine in a Little Free Library in Logan Square.

It looks like the zine was hand drawn, photocopied in black and white, and then colored in with colored pencils for each individual copy.

We found this adorable family of Tawny Frogmouths high above us on a branch. The parents continued to snooze and act like perfect mottled tree trunks, while the fluffy chicks boggled at us with their big yellow eyes.

In the South-West of West Australia there are some tough to find local birds known as 'The Big Three' - tricky due to their cryptic colours and skulking nature.
This was a fabulous view we had of the Western Bristlebird, sound on for its very lovely sweet song

A stunning Australian Hobby ripping up its lunch while perched over a creekline in the Northern Territory. The Hobby is in the Falcon family and hunts diurnally and crepuscularly on mainly birds, bats and insects.

This teeny tiny Little Kingfisher (Ceyx pusillus) measures a minute 12cm high and just over 10g We spotted one on South Alligator River and would have danced a jig of joy, would it not have upset the boat and tipped us in with the Salt Water Crocodiles..

Glorious Spinifex Pigeons engaging in a courtship ritual involving a "kiss" where the male presents his open beak for the female to insert hers. Watch to see the male regurgitating into the female's beak, a pair bonding behavior used later for feeding young.

The impressive, & slightly aggressive pre-mating dance of the Western Bowerbird beside his incredible bower packed with special white and green treasures - she seemed pretty impressed with his rizz.
Do admire his pink erectile-crest blossom of neck feathers!
