Wee Jasper NSW Birds Part 3 - Olive-backed Oriole, White-throated Treecreeper, Rufous Whistler, Willie Wagtail and others

The final post of the birds from Wee Jasper for this year. For the most part I'll just put up the photos but a few need a word or two.

The first is this Olive-backed Oriole who had caught a grub. The Oriole is one of those birds when I hear their call I know I've heard it before, but perhaps because it is not a usual bird around my local area, always have trouble picking what it is to start with. They normally aren't too hard to spot if you spend any length of time in the area, and I usually connect the call and the sighted bird together.

Willie Wagtail

the photo below is of the Willie Wagtail parent feeding its two chicks. The unusual part is the placement of the nest, beautifully shaded, but overhanging the river, precarious for that first flight.
