Yellow-tailed black-cockatoo

This morning it was cool and windy, but there were no clouds, so I went out birding. I saw 2 beautiful yellow-tailed black-cockatoos and lots of BOP. I got a photo of 2 whistling kites with a brown falcon between them

Great photos Birdgirl, I wish I could capture birds in motion like this, and in the last one, was the Brown Falcon being harassed by the Kites?

No, not harrassed. The ravens do enough of  that! There are a lot of BOP in the area and I often see more than one different type cross paths. I think the whistling kites were doing a courtship flight, and sometimes a few other BOPs, usually other whistling kites, get attracted to them.

I see this a lot, especially if they've got food but often when they haven't

Nice pics.  I too wish I could get pics of birds in flight.

Looks like there is plenty of action in the air Birdgirl, love the Cockatoo a magnificent bird and great photo. I feel sorry for BOP they just never seem to get a chance to relax and get harrassed by all the birds.
