Bath Time (Monochrome Monday)

Excuse me but I’m still talking to you! (Wordless Wednesday)
Proudly wearing a ring of confidence (Feathered Friday)
For the previous two summers I’ve been referring to this bird as my Mourning Dove. However, looking up my handy-dandy bird book (yes, finally!) it says this is a Eurasian Collared Dove. To quote my teenage daughter… oooooo, fancy!
As we had so, so many birds visiting last month on their way to Alaska, Feathered Friday is currently dedicated to them and their safe travels!
Showing one’s true colors! (Macro Monday)
The cheeky Stella Jay birds enjoy sitting on the branches directly outside the kitchen window, taunting the cats with their closeness, safe in the knowledge the cats are unable to make contact.
The Stella’s also seem to know when I’m attempting to photograph them. Just when I have the photo set-up, boom, the birds move. That’s okay, I prefer their stunning blue color over their boisterous character anyways!
My wannabe Hummingbird (Feathered Friday)
This little guy was an equal-opportunity bird, dividing his time equally between long drinks from my Hummingbird feeder then snacking at my seed feeder nearby. What the?
If you know what he is please let me know. Initially I thought he was a finch but his beak, allowing him to guzzle sugar-water at the rate he did, has me now wondering otherwise!

Will the real ANGRY BIRD please stand up! (Feathered Friday)
And there was me thinking the Angry Bird movie was simply a piece of fiction. Looking at this gentleman it would appear the movie is indeed based on a true story!

Live each day! (WPC – I’d rather be…)
I’d Rather Be… grateful for each day lived, a life filled with beautiful sights, smells and experiences…
then regretting what has been or might have been, or even what should be!
