The top and bottom birds are male and the middle bird is female.  Like other birds the

male has more color than the female. (Well more brighter stripes if your talking about the BLACK and WHITE warbler) Well thats all for now. Happy Birding!

These birds remind me of winter (Merry Christmas by the way!) These birds are SO bright in color.

The top bird is a male and the middle is a female. The bottom birds are male and female. Once I saw a male cardinal feeding a little baby cardinal it was SO CUTE! I mostly see these birds in winter they look so pretty in the snow! Well thats all for now. Happy Birding!!!!

Bird of the Day

Hey guys!!!!  Someone finally posted!   So the bird of the day is… The sword billed hummingbird! here are some pics.

The one at the top is a female and the bottom one is a male. I LOVE these little hummers because of their AWESOME bills. These are the only bird who can get nectar from a very long flower. The nectar in the flower is at the very top so this hummer can use it's long bill to reach the nectar.  The bottom photo has a pic of this flower. Well thats all for now. Happy Birding!

Bird of the Day

Hi everyone! Well……. looks like nobody commented for the bird of the day:(  So I guess I'll chose. The Bird of the Day is…… The European Robin!!!  Here are some pics!

These birds are SO CUTE!!!!!! I love their little orange belly's.  I got this off wikipedia (I already knew though)   male and female bear similar plumage; an orange breast and face (more strongly coloured in the otherwise similar British subspecies E. r. melophilus), lined by a bluish grey on the sides of the neck and chest. The upperparts are brownish, or olive-tinged in British birds, and the belly whitish, while the legs and feet are brown. The bill and eyes are black. Juveniles are a spotted brown and white in colouration, with patches of orange gradually appearing.  Thank you Wikipedia!!! Nicely said. Well thats all for now please post a comment telling me ideas for the next bird of the day!! Happy Birding!!!!

Bird of the Day

Hi guys! Blue here so I would like to start out with my new profile. I'm Blue (as you know) and I write Birding with Blue. My sister is Sky and she writes Daily Beanie Boos. I would also like to apologize for not writing in a while. I'm going to be doing this new thing called Bird of the Day. So i'm going to start now but first give a hand to my sister for giving me the idea. The bird for today is a Snowy Owl! Here is a pic.

Beautiful! Just Beautiful!  I  love the top one so pretty how the owl takes flight and how he looks so calm. I love the last one to those wings are so BIG! and get this, all of those owls are female! (I think, hard to tell) The female has more spots than males. Some males are spotted too but the males are mostly white here is a male.

 Well thats all for now! Happy Birding and Happy Holidays!

Bird Lore

We went to a Discovery Place event called Bird Lore it was great! We got to watch a documentary on North American birds that had gone extinct.  It was very interesting.  We saw Owls, Pigeons, Ducks and Chickens.  There were many different booths set up.  My favorite was my friends booth, Bird House on the Greenway.  We had a great time today! Happy birding~ Blue
