An eurasian curlew, which is threatened with extinction in germany, in the North German Wadden Sea.

I have them in the field next to my house 100ft away from the solway firth/Irish Sea, it’s nice to sit at night in the summer with the windows open and hear their calls….i also have a oystercatcher that sits under the tree in my garden……

Not something one sees every day in northern New England...





This appears to be a "bobwhite" quail -- a southern species(?!). I am guessing (guessing, mind you) that perhaps it's a locally raised escapee. Kind of a Chicken Run thing, you know?
EDIT: Mrs. H confirmed with one of her comrades, a (now retired) director @ Mass Audubon, that it is indeed a bobwhite.

A great tit that is apparently unhappy about what it has chosen for dinner.
