Invasion of the Grassbirds

[Ding Carpio]

While many of you are mounting the Invasion of Island Photo, probably crashing their computerized inventory and sales systems for registering the single-day record sales of a single item, kicking off a chain reaction of demand transactions across the supply chain, triggering emergency production runs at Manfrotto Italy, that will probably cause a worldwide shortage of steel, plastic, and foam rubber; I was happily photographing the Invasion of the Grassbirds in my neighborhood.

Somehow, there's gazillions of them (and one female Blue Rock Thrush).

I don't see any streaks in the breast of this fellow.... could be a Tawny Grassbird (Megalurus timoriensis) which is less common than the Striated.

Not very sure though, let's see if Steve can confirm it.

Nice shots. Ding!

I think all that I saw this morning were Tawnies.

Yikes! I just had a relook at the first two photos and methinks I got carried away with color saturation there. Too painful to look at. Shows you what happens when you're tired and you get desensitized to PPing.

Hmmmm.... what color saturation?.... all I see are vivid grays, a few black spots and a lot of white areas? ;D ;D ;D

Wonderful captures Ding !!!!

I think it's the season of grassbirds. For 3 days now, there has been a striated grassbird that has been hanging out at the vacant lot beside our house.
