Ooh, the Western Bluebird, yes, it is a toss up, Cobalt or Lazurite.The Ornithologists back in the day that came up with names, so descriptive with everything else. I guess there were no artists among them, ‘looks blue to me, yeah , me too, ok write that down…’The Williamson Sapsucker, is not as showy as our yellow bellied, nevertheless what fun to see. Love the American Oystercatcher and that sweet little Black-bellied Plover looking very feminine . And last but certainly not least , a grand story about the Snowy Plover. As always, thank you for the view from a different shore.
Thanks Lor--you made me laugh with your ornithologists back in the day...
Just had a visit from a white-throated sparrow--a species (rare for us) I've only seen once before in the yard, and maybe a decade ago. I got photos to share!
Grateful for your company.
Thanks John...and the company of birds...

All the words do not help. Very sad and concerned. Watching "my" birds brings some temporary peace. They are blissfully unaware.
Yes, to be blissfully unaware...
