Again today, the rain in the valley hid Mount Warning and kept the humidity in the air. At least this weather isn’t overly hot, so it is actually making summer more bearable than usual. 🙂
Ever since the little Pee Wee – or Magpie Lark – arrived in my garden. I have suspected he was a male, calling for a mate. Today, my suspicions were confinrmed. I saw three more Pee Wees arrive. There may have been more, but I only saw three, and immediately I noticed that one of them had different markings on its face, it had more white than my little friend. A trusty Google search has confirmed that my little friend is a male and one of his visitors – the one in the photo on the right – is a female. My little friend is on the left.
The others, including the female, didn’t stay long, so now I will have to wait and see if they return. Alternately, my little friend may leave, and if he does, I will miss hearing his happy little song each day. I’m hoping he will stay, but the choice is his. ❤

Magpie Lark ❓ can’t find it in my Audubon field guide

I looked up the Audubon Field Guide and it is a complete guide of American birds. My Magpie Lark is a native Australian bird. So that explains why it wasn’t in there. 🙂

Rain doesn’t bother birds much … good for them!

So true, Frank. And it gives them a good wash, especially the kookaburras who get quite dirty while foraging! 🙂

If you’re lucky, he might just persuade one of the ladies to come live with him at your place. 🙂 After all, it offers everything a Pee Wee could wish for!
