Birds on the Brain!

Okay, first, I want to assure you that I did get word count, and made up for a 1,000 for another day. I moved furniture in the morning, unpacked 4 boxes, and even walked around the block to get my mail. I answered numerous spam calls, and really, I have been working. But….then the BIRDS came.
And that meant hurrying to open the blinds and hope not to scare them away, grab my camera and take some shots.

Golden Finches?

Close up of the two golden finches?

Now this little dude was dancing around and wouldn’t sit still for a picture. Purple finch? House finch?

He really, really wanted to go down to the feeder below.

Two sparrows and a cardinal that I missed, swooped in to see the seed, but no takers. A sparrow was eyeing it from the fence, but he wouldn’t buy it. I have seen a bunch of these birds land on my grass and peck around the day before. Maybe they’ll get braver.

Okay, so remember about the work I have to do on the manuscript? I need to write 6,000 words to catch up. I had 7,000 yesterday, so whittling away at it. 65,000 to go!

Have a great Saturday!!! I know what I’m going to be doing. Do you?

What is this bird?

Bluebird taking off

I've never seen bluebirds ever. But I kept seeing birds flying around the window when I had the blinds open. They're after bugs caught in the corner of the house. I thought they were just a bunch of sparrows. So I finally pulled up the blinds so I could watch them while I was typing on my story. Yes, I was really writing. Trying to write. Hey, I got my word count and one of the promo blogs done.

But I was so surprised to see bluebirds, I had to try and take pictures of them. This is through a screened window, so not the best shots, but still, I was thrilled. But then I saw another bird, not sure what it was. A mockingbird also flew in there, but the bluebirds chased him off. And then I'm not sure what the other bird was on the roof. It looked different from the other on the roof that I believe is the same bird underneath the eves, a small gray and black banded bird with pale yellow feathers on it's belly and throat. It looks white in some pictures, but it was actually yellow.

It's not a sparrow. I have tons of those and it's not the same.

Okay, back to writing. Have a super great Saturday!!!
