Blue and…? — CFFC

***

We see blue jays around here sometimes. This one was perched on the back of an outside chair. I’ve also found a blue jay feather on the ground.

***

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. 🙂

***

I think this is a Great Blue Heron. We see them at the lake by our house all the time, but this one flew over the houses that day. This beautiful big bird then perched on the chimney of the house behind ours for awhile, then flew away.

Pretty white dove sitting on bare winter tree branches with solid blue sky as background.

This little blue parakeet we saw in the pet store here.

Three gray doves gathered around a big blue water bowl.

Little blue wooden birdhouse with red roof (sort of diamond shaped)

These are a few of my coloring pages of blue birds, too, a big blue bird with wings spread out, flowers, and a couple at a water bowl on a stand.

Bird of the Week – Doves

Bird of the Week – Doves

Ruddy Shelduck, bird of the week

Here’s a new challenge where we can show off our bird photos! Click the above link for details.

These are three gray doves gathering around the blue bowl of water on the back porch. I believe they are Eurasian Collared Doves, as they do have a black ring (collar) around their neck. But there are a type of dove that also has a ring, and are called Ringnecked Doves. Anyway, we have a lot of these around here all year round.

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. 🙂

photos show:

  • 3 gray doves around blue water bowl
  • 5 gray doves and a black grackle on the porch (one grackle farther off in the grass)
  • Brownish grackle sitting on rim of water bowl, and then dipping piece of cat food into water

We were to find photos of things that were basically all the same color.

I found apples, stacked rocks with shadows, ice covered tree branches, a pink sock, and doves, porch, stepping stones, raindrops, and pet dishes, all in shades of gray.

COLOR YOUR WORLD – SHADOW

Today’s color to match is called ‘Shadow’. The Crayola people say it is in the green family of hues. I don’t see it. I don’t even see how the color sample they provide, on most of these colors, have anything matching to the actual crayon that they make. Shadow looks gray, to me, and the color sample looks dark brown. 🙂
