Yellow rumped warblers

Bottom photos - crossbills

Certainly not the smartest birds, repeatedly tried building a nest inside my barbecue grill.

Later, when we were at Billie Creek Historic Village in Rockville Indiana, I saw the same two characters. They were arguing about which house to buy.

Lab staff and children march as "The Bird Brains." By Marc Dantzker; Birdscope Summer 2003, p5

I went for a walk on the

boardwalk today at lunch looking

for repetition. I found in in

the form of...

I broke Birdbrain, but Dottie is still broody.

Why oh WHY do they never EVER get electrocuted?

Just Ducky -

Have a gander at the state of that water

Timmy needs a beer....

This Male Cardinal at my parents homel appears to be spying through the living room window, but he is really just trying to scare away his reflection in the window which he thinks is a rivel trying to move in on his territory. This is the second year this guy has been at trying to chase himself away. He will fly against the window and beat himself half crazy. In an attempt to get him to stop my Mom posted an 8 X 10 of her cat in the window, which had no effect. Appearently he cant distinguish his own reflection from that of another Cardinal, but he can tell an 8 X 10 print of a cat from the real thing, LOL. This guy lends true meaning to the term, "Bird Brain", LOL

I waited and waited until I thought the bird would stay still...

A pair of birdbrains sail along the water at Kenneth Hahn State Recreation Area

Well, their parents outsmarted the bird-repelling spines by turning them into nest supports, but the chicks are nesting UNDER the nest, so they are still birdbrains...

I was taking photos of Goldfinches now wearing their bright summer yellows when to my surprise and delight this stunning Baltimore Oriole landed right into the frame of my camera. The six photos are in sequence except for the last and show him trying to figure out how to get the birdseed out of the feeder. He was not able to figure it out, and kept pecking at the seed visible in the plastic tube, but never discovering the opening in the tube were he could feed. I guess this lends credit to the term Birdbrain, LOL.

I had not previously seen him in my area but I have seen him once again since taking these photos in late April. I am hoping he is raising a family in the area.

A "Must See" in Lightbox

roughly: Cat among the pigeons. This kedi went without as the birdbrains were too smart for it!
