A layered mountain landscape with a rocky spire rising from dense forest in the foreground, receding blue ridgelines in the distance, and a pale, softly lit sky above. Horizontal bands of land and atmosphere create a sense of depth and suspension between ground and sky.

Suspended Between

Layers holding the eye in place - neither grounded nor lifted, just suspended.

Front view of a juvenile ca. 1.5 month old eastern yellow robin being held by a certified bird bander after being banded with metal and colour band. Yellow breast with greyish mottled head and upper body juvenile plumage. Measurements suggest female bird. Pinkish beak is open as she was squawking right before being released back in her territory near the adults.

It’s Aussie Bird Count week and this juvenile eastern yellow robin has definitely been counted! She’s part of a long term study and just been banded to help with monitoring and understanding the complex life history of these beautiful birds. #MistNetting #Science #BirdCount #SunshineCoastHinterland

A bird perched on a pale diagonal stem with green background from a bush.. honeyeater bird has black and white streaks on chest, yellow on wing and top of tail, white eye with black head and open bill with long tongue showing during his very loud tweeting and singing! I snapped this photo with my canon as he opened his bill.

Singing with gusto, I had a laugh photographing this New Holland honeyeater! #BirdWatching #wildoz #Nectarivore #SunshineCoastHinterland

This is a wild King Parrot having a chat with me while I take a break from gardening. Very cute. This location is the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, Queensland, Australia.
