BOTD: California Thrasher

Photo: Wendy Miller

"Several kinds of dull gray-brown thrashers occur in the West, but this is the only one along the California coast. The bird's normal range is limited to California and a corner of Baja, but within that range it is quite common in the chaparral, even coming into brushy suburbs. It spends most of its time on the ground, walking and running with its tail often held high, stopping to dig in the dirt with its sickle-shaped bill."

Me: In Mary Poppins (1964), during the song 'A Spoonful of Sugar', Mary interacts with, and sings about, a robin. The film is set in the UK where robins are European robins (Erithacus rubecula), passerine birds in the Family Muscicapidae (i.e Old World Flycatchers), the kind that always show up on Xmas cards in the UK. However, the two robins in the scene are very obviously based off American robins (Turdus migratorius), passerine birds in the Family Turdidae (i.e thrushes), and a species much more closely related to the common/Eurasian blackbird than a European robin. Whilst it's not entirely unknown for American robin's to venture to the UK, any that do are nearly always rare vagrants and certainly wouldn't be "feathering a nest". Worker: ... Worker: Ma'am, this is a Greggs.

Common Chaffinch Norfolk Woodlands.. by Adam Swaine Via Flickr: Male chaffinches are colourful birds with an orange-pink breast and cheeks, grey-blue cap and orange-brown back. Females are much duller brown with hints of green and yellow.The Chaffinch is one of the most widespread and common birds in Britain and Ireland. Its patterned feathers help it blend in when feeding on the ground, so it's easiest to see when it flies, as a flash of white on the wings and white outer tail feathers is revealed. It's shy when it comes to bird feeders, preferring to hop about under the bird table or under the hedge. You'll usually hear Chaffinches before you see them, thanks to their loud song and range of calls

BOTD: Abert's Towhee

Photo: Mick Thompson

"Along streams in the desert Southwest, a sharp pinging note in the thickets announces the presence of Abert's Towhee. If an observer tries to approach, a pair of these towhees may stay just ahead and out of sight, calling in an odd squealing duet when pressed too closely. When undisturbed, they feed on the ground under dense bushes, scratching among the leaf-litter. Many southwestern 'specialty birds' have extensive ranges in the tropics, but this towhee barely gets across the border into northwestern Mexico."

I was laughing with my dad about how ruby-crowned kinglets always look angry in the pictures I take because of my phone’s camera quality so i looked up what they look like when professionally photographed and, nope, they just always look like that.

This poor bird just has resting bitch face.

#harley speaks #birds #birdblr #passerines #ruby crowned kinglet #its def the white circles and the fact that they dont completely surround the top of the eye that makes it look like their eyes are always #narrowed
