Good things come in pairs…
This bonded pair (did you notice the second one below?) has been hunting in the bay all week long. They are reinforcing their nest (they usually come back year after year) and will will have babies soon.

Look at me–I’m so pretty
This red breasted Cockatoo pair flew everywhere together. Finally they stopped long enough for me to get a good picture. It was really windy so it was hard to get a shot without branches waving in front.

This parrot is colored like a budgie but it was about 12-16″ long so I think it was a different bird. It was so fun hanging out at the Botanic Gardens and looking for all the birds we don’t have in the NW.
