Bird of the Day – Blue Jay
***
I saw this blue jay sitting on the fence. He must live around here, because I see him quite often, mostly when he is at the bird feeder, or grabbing pieces of dry cat food off the porch. 🙂

Bird of the Day – Gathering Around the Water Cooler
BOTD: August 19, 2019 Great-tailed Grackle
***
Every day the birds gather around the water cooler (the water bowl) out on the back porch. In these photos there are the always present doves, and some grackles.
The grackles love to pick a piece of cat food and dip it in the water for a second. 🙂

Bird of the Day – Robin
***
We see little robins around here a lot. This one was hanging around the front yard one day. It was going from the tree to the ground and sidewalk, and eating the cat food kibbles we leave for the cats. For some reason, birds just love cat food. 🙂
Photos show a red breasted robin on the ground, and in the tree.

This is a white stork we saw at the Kansas City Missouri Zoo last year. She is white, with some black along the wing edges, and red around the eyes. Her beak is orange. There is also a baby stork with the large stork. They are getting a drink from a black bowl.

Here’s a new fun challenge! Just post something you like and are a fan of. 🙂
It’s hosted by Jez Braithwaite, and you can find his blog at the above link. Thanks, Jez!

This is a roadrunner bird. It is mostly brown and tan with a few white spots. We see them sometimes around here. Most recently one was running down our street, and he was so fast. I didn’t have time to get my camera!
Also, a roadrunner art sculpture made of copper colored metal was in our mall. I have no idea why, but was fun to see it.

Here’s another roadrunner. I admit it’s a bad photo, as I didn’t have a good camera at the time. But it does show how good the bird is at camouflage. They blend in with the dry grasses very well.

Seen at the store – several birdhouses- red ones with rusty tin roof, and a yellow one with a blue roof. It has printed on it “Early Bird Specials”, and a silhouette of a rooster.
Also, a couple of photos of real chickens … a ginger colored one, and two brown ones.

This little blue parakeet was in the pet shop. Parakeets are pretty sweet little birds, and we used to have some over the years.
