Backyard Birding

Northern Cardinal singing.

This evening after school I had no homework, so, I got to birdwatch. I saw many birds including a new one in my backyard. The White-throated Sparrow! It was very tame or at least it seemed to be. I took lots of pictures of it but I only show my best ones on my blog.

Here is a story I made up, and I sent it to my cousin Ruth this morning. I think it will make you laugh. This story is writen about my second picture on this post.

American Robin says: Hey, Mr. Fluffy Pants, get out of here! Common Grackle says: No, Mr. Grumpy Gibbles! American Robin says: Take that and that and that!!! Common Grackle says: Alright, alright can I at least get one of your eggs. PLEASE! American Robin says: NO! Common Grackle says: Just one tiny egg. American Robin says: No! AND BE OFF WITH YOU!

Anyone think that was funny? Tell me if you thought so.

Now back to my biring today>>>>>>>>>>> I saw the goldfinches and heard the cardinals today. My mom took the picture of the cardinal singing I took the rest. I was going to put the picture of a goldfinch on my blog but for some reason it didn't work. Anyway, the bird of today is the Northern Cardinal. And there's a very pretty picture on my calendar today. Of course, its the cardinal.

That reminds me of another pretty bird or a bird that people only think is pretty. THE BLUE JAY. I was researching about birds this morning before school. And I found this website about Ruby-throated Hummingbirds and Blue Jays. It said that Blue Jays appear to be blue but the sun makes them look blue. They are actually gray.

Anyway, I have to go for supper so bye until tomorrow.
