I am new to this forum and new to using the bird identifier, but I am so glad I found it! Here's a picture I took of one of the red wattlebirds that regularly visit my front yard. [I'm testing my understanding of the image upload feature of this forum and hoping one of these methods works.]

Great shots Carla.Lovely looking bird arent they.
Thank you, cathshane. Yes, the red wattlebirds are lovely, and the ones that visit our garden regularly are funny characters. They almost come when I call them. I enjoyed watching this one today.
