I changed the setting on the web album they are stored in. Let me know if you can see them. Because I am looking at them from my computer I can see them no matter what.
I have to remember to watch the settings when I upload pictures.

Those were pictures from my phone. I tried to post them from my Picasa account directly. I will download them and them re-upload them and see if they work that way. I was hoping the cell phone pictures would be easier to post than the regular camera. The cell phone camera is with me when I see things that are interesting.

I looked Flame Robin up. It is a stunningly beautiful bird. There is no doubt, Australia beats the rest of the world for numbers and beauty of birds. Of course your other post about bird song explains why.
I am just seeing the same birds as usual, but they are feeding their fledgling babies in my yard so I get to see them.

Emus and Cockatoos! You do see some amazing birds. I can imagine how you felt when you saw the cockatoos.
You are going to have an amazing bird count this year.
All I am seeing is sparrows and starlings and I hear blue jays and cardinals.
I saw some little brown bats. They were flying at dusk, but they don't quite qualify as birds.

26) Catbird
I actually saw a whole flock of them. About fifty birds flew into the yard where I was and swarmed around the feeder and the bird bath. Then they circled around the trees and circled around above us and then took off.
I have never seen a catbird and I have never seen any birds behave quite like that.
They are not a showy bird, but in a flock like that they are awesome.

You are having a great year. It is only August and you are way past the hundred.
I still have the usual birds, but it is bird fest in my yard now that the Mountain ash berries are ripe. I planted trees that feed the birds and provide flowers for the bees.
