Where do you find all these awesome birds?

My little local arboretum in Fullerton. I have been shooting there a lot lately and posting pictures around the web, trying to get more flora and fauna fans to visit. The place is coming up fast on a self-sufficiency deadline and the local university has already drawn up plans to turn it into dorms and parking lots.

"Blackbirds sittin' on the ol' rail fence...". Or, on the sailboat spreaders!

Cormorant sitting on the dock drying its wings is nothing new, but turning its head around 180 degrees is new to me.

In my backyard I have a beautiful flowering Eucalypt. Absolutely scarlet in colour. The nectar feeding birds love it. I positioned my 7200 and waited for the Red Wattlebird to come and feed. It eventually did. His acrobatics to get to the nectar, were amazing. Here are some pics. Mostly just cropped.
