a photo journey

~ Make sure to look through October for pictures from my trip to Italy. This whole working thing is really throwing off my regular-posting groove!

In the park with a Cocatoo

I'm still trying to get the perfect shot of the sulphur-crested cockie. I like the brilliance of the yellow crest, but even still... y'all are going to have to suffer through more pictures of these birds until I get my hero shot. (here's my last cockatoo post)

I might add that since they put new wood chips around the swings in the park, it has been cockatoo city! I think there must have been some tasty bugs in the chips as the cockies have been tearing though the grounds and ripping up just about everything. I also think the random foodstuff left after the weekend picnics are a hit with the birds. Yesterday I watched a cockie pull the straw out of a McDonald's cup, take the top off and upend the contents over itself. mmmm... sticky sweet cockatoos.
