Feather

Sent from my phone.

I am catching up on Avian101’s blog, and while reading this past post about feathers (part 1) – I recalled this photo from my walk this morning. I expect it is from a sulphur-crested white cockatoo. It looks so delicate atop the crispy dead gum leaves.

Standoff

On our walk this morning the puss decided to investigate. In my excitement, I somehow turned my phone right off and the closer encounter was over by time the camera was available! No scratched noses or scruffed cats resulted.
