Yesterday saw these butcher birds in the garden. They are called butcher birds because they stash bits of meat in branches of trees to eat later, they have a very pretty vocal to listen to. The photo features a adult and a juvenile that was begging to be fed.
Dad I'm hungry food, need food, now food.....
Now where has that dratted son of mine got to???
A hibiscus flower looking stunning in my mums garden.

We've never seen Butcher birds before! The flower is really purrty!
Wow, never saw a butcher bird !The hibiscus makes me homesick for the Florida Keys, we had them there. Too cold here in Virginia, unless you winter them in the house...
Hi Kas,
I love hibiscus plants. The first plant I ever planted was when I was ten years old. I planted a cutting of a red hibiscus plant. I grew!!!! Before I left that house I had 22 hibiscus growing as a hedge beside the long side of the property.
Be glad when your are home, Fern
I have never heard of a butcher bird either! The photos are terrific! I'm going to have to send your blog to my son (he is into birds and wildlife, in fact, he works at a nature preserve). He's going to be really interested in your birds!
