CorduneanuVlad thank you for the ID.
Thanks Sergio Monteiro and Pedro Beirao.
GeoffreyPalmer, thank you for the ID suggestion. What are the differences? Do they look very similar?
Sorry, I should have been more specific. I was wondering if you saw it in an urban setting or in the wild. It looks like the bird is standing in a stream in one of those photos.
Thank you for the suggestion. I will post there as well. Maybe someone else will have seen this before.
As for the holding lizards. Some are not that difficult to pick up. Many will bite though. There are two venomous species in North America, so be sure you know what you are picking up. I did not hold this one very long, it was already stressed out and I did not want to add more stress.
Beautiful bird. Where was this taken?
Great spotting. I think what stands out most for me, is that the ones that are left behind, no longer move. I wonder why that is and what motivates the mass migrations. Very interesting indeed.
I was happy too Jemma. I admit, at first I thought it was dead, until I saw it breathing. It is possible the snake might not have missed out on a meal. I saw it glide directly into a pack rat nest.
What a wonderful creature to have in your garden. That must have been an exciting find.
