Click on the photos to see them at their best.

Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, November 13, 2020

The Eastern Bluebird, Sialia sialis, is a small thrush with a round head and bright eyes. The male is dark blue with a rust colored breast and belly. (The streak through his eye in this photo is a shadow).

Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, November 21, 2020

The female is a more muted grayish blue with a rust colored breast and white belly. They are cavity nesting birds that feed on insects. You may be able to attract them to your yard by putting up nesting boxes and offering mealworms on a platform feeder.

Have a wonderful day!

Pelicans, December 2, 2020

Wild Bird Wednesday and My Corner of the World

Pickwick, Tennessee, USA, November 8, 2020

American White Pelicans, Pelecanus erythrorhynchos, are migratory birds that breed in the northwestern United States and central Canada, but spend the Winter months in the southern parts of the United States and Mexico. Unlike Brown Pelicans who dive for fish, White Pelicans catch their food by swimming on the surface and scooping up fish with their bills. These were preening their feathers at Pickwick Lake.

Have a wonderful day!
