there is a chance this blog is going to the birds
sorry I just couldn't resist the cliche
maybe I will call this Cliche Wednesday's
I affectionately call this little bird "storm"
he never moved from this signI walked around the pond - he sat there, a much larger and of course more alive dog picked a fight with Diti just under this sign and the bird didn't even flinch
I even pointed a very large lens straight at him and my flash went off - he still sat there
Lori..perhaps you can help me with what type of bird he is, the colour photo didn't work out very well but he was a solid blue and white colour - I thought he was a sparrow but after researching it he isn't the right colouring - now I am thinking a Chickadee, maybe?
and a better shot of my red winged blackbird (I like the background blur on this one)

Hey Dee - well, I am thinking it looks like a Purple Martin which we have lots of at the lake. That is what I have been told they are, but when i look in the bird book, it doesn't look like one. My guess would be a purple martin or some kind of swallow.
When we were at the lake in May, there was a purple martin that sat outside the birdhouse in one spot forever - I figured he was guarding the nest. So that is another reason I think maybe it could be a martin, since it never moved all that time you were there?
okay - I just looked thru the book again, it may just be a tree swallow. It says they have blue green upper & white underparts. and being around ponds & marshes, fields would make sense too.
It is so hard sometimes - you really have to look at things like the tail, the beak etc...
