This week was the 18th birthday of fortnightly run route through southwestern Ōtautahi-Christchurch, NZ. This is my 10.1 km route where I've been counting and mapping all the birds and butterflies and assorted other species.I started the route on 9 July 2008, while on parental leave, pushing my baby daughter around in a buggy during her afternoon nap. I wanted her to be able to know how the city's nature changes over her lifetime. I've been doing it ever since (and have added three other routes to cover other parts of the city).In celebration of the route's 18th birthday, here are all the korimako (NZ bellbirds) I've seen and heard. Korimako have been a huge success story for the city. The native forest regeneration and pest control happening in the city's Port Hills have led to booming numbers of korimako, and the native tree plantings in the city have been attracting birds out from the hills.As my run route has shown, within the city the korimako are mostly in areas of native tree plantings and in gardens with mature bird nectar plants (especially kōwhai, banksia, eucalyptus, and harakeke). Korimako are still largely absent from the areas of housing that don't have any of these.(We still need many more native trees in the city if we want more native birds.)<a href="/tags/wildcounts/" rel="tag">#wildcounts</a> <a href="/tags/ecologicalmonitoring/" rel="tag">#EcologicalMonitoring</a> <a href="/tags/birds/" rel="tag">#birds</a> <a href="/tags/christchurch/" rel="tag">#Christchurch</a> <a href="/tags/ōtautahi/" rel="tag">#Ōtautahi</a> <a href="/tags/nz/" rel="tag">#NZ</a> <a href="/tags/nature/" rel="tag">#nature</a> <a href="/tags/ecology/" rel="tag">#ecology</a>

A photo of the olive green fluffy butt of a korimako (NZ bellbird). This was one of two male birds feeding from flowers in a kōwhai tree I planted as a seedling (taken from my Granny's house) in the garden of our old house. This garden is now owned by some friends of ours.

A female sparrow with soft, fluffy plumage is sitting on a slender branch. The bird is looking to the right. The delicate feathers of the small bird are painted in various shades of brown with loose, gentle brushstrokes. The background is painted abstractly in warm brown, purple and earthy tones.
Sparrow meeting part one is an acrylic painting in portrait format hand-painted by the artist Karen Kaspar.
This painting is part of my mini-series of three paintings - Sparrow Meeting One, Two and Three. Each of these paintings shows a female sparrow sitting on a branch. Each of these pictures can be hung on its own. However, the three paintings can also be perfectly combined to form a triptych and hung together on a wall for a joint sparrow meeting.
