| TREE SWALLOW |
"Why did you call him Beefer? Because he's so big?" people would ask.
"No, it's B for bird," they'd reply.
Here are a few birds Dick and Lindy have met while out on their walks nearby. Well, they didn't exactly meet the turkey buzzard flying overhead, but Dick did manage to get a photo of it.

| Is any group of crows called "a murder of crows" or does the designation "a murder" just apply to a group of crows sitting on a wire? (Something my brothers and/or my husband would call "a crows line".) |

After leaving this little fella filed as "mystery bird" for a long time, I finally did some online research and I now think he is probably a juvenile yellow warbler. I've posted him here in case anyone in southern Alberta recognizes him as something different.

Oh Kay, I really like your Tree Swallow and Bluejay. So pretty.
I remember seeing the tree swallow when we were in Glacier National Park. They are such beautiful, fast moving birds. I'm glad this one sat for you.
What a great group of photo of all the different little birds. The shot of the Blue Jay is fabulous!
I love how the bluejay appears to be tangled in the branches of the tree … it makes for an interesting photograph, Kay. I wonder if it has found the tree again now that it’s summer and the apples might be there. The flock of birds decorating the bare branches also creates a pretty image. :)
Great ramble!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
Great selection of birds, Kay. I liked Beefer - I once met a dog called Deefer - yes, Deefer Dog!
every time the other "leslie" comments, i get confused for a second and wonder if i already commented ;)
love that tree swallow - such a gorgeous shade of blue.
we had friends from new york who named their dog, "Bustah." everyone always thought they were just saying "Buster" with a new york accent, which, of course, is just what they intended...
Great photos. Quite the assortment of bird-friends they met.
I met a dog once that was name Deeohgee (not sure if that's how it was spelled). Get it? D.O.G.
B is for beautiful collection!
Great assortment of birds and photos. The swallow perched on the log is lovely.
Great set of pics, Kay. I wish our jays were as pretty as yours. Although I suspect they probably have the same type of personalities - bullies of the feeder. :)
Birds of a feather flock together !! :) Great snaps...

Thanks for your comment re kitchen - yes, am well excited myself!
Ha! I really enjoyed hearing about how "Beefer" got his name!
Great post from a part of your world Kay.
Lots of beautiful birds and terrific captures for the B Day! Hope your week is going well, Kay! Enjoy!

Love the blue jay, especially. Saw one in my backyard not long ago.

What a Brilliant collection of Birds, Kay! My favorite today is the Blue Jay, too!
Beautiful images Kay! Birds are the most difficult animals to take photos of. The bluejay is wonderful. The colours are so pretty.
Thanks for visiting ! Yes, I am still riding my bike, only when there is no rain and the wind is not too strong.
So many nice blues! LG Tina
Beautiful bird shot Kay. I can never focus fast enough to capture one.
Great choice for B. Nice shots. And yes, the Blue Jay is my favorite too.
My kind of post (lots of animals).
I call the turkey buzzard a turkey vulture.

PS In rehab centres we would try to avoid turkey vultures as they vomit when afraid (YUCK).
I love seeing the birds in your world.
The photo of the jay is spectacular.
Wow, Kay....that's quite an array of wonderful birds... That also a lot of "B's".
Beautiful bird shots. I love the waxwings in the tree, especially
A great set of bird shots, Kay! I very much like the Blue Jay...as you know, we see plenty of Stellers Jays here at the coast, but I've only seen Blue Jays once on a long-ago visit to Lake Louise.
I think it's very cool how you and Dick work together on this blog!
Hugs to you,
Lynette
Marvelous bird photos, Kay, - I think your husband and your male relative's should take a turn at hanging the laundry out on the Crow's Line!
WAXWING FLOCK, That's a beautiful shot.
Love the story behind Beefer, it really made me smile!
birds... such an obvious choice and yet, I didn't think of it! there is something about seeing a flock of them hanging about on the top branches of a leafless tree that I find funny. not sure why.
Beautiful birds!! I'm still laughing about Beefer.
Lovely shots of birds! Especially love the bluejay!
We do have a strange collection of words to describe different groups animals and birds. Interestingly, none seem to specify a number that must be reached before several crows become a murder.
Great series of birdie photos. I believe the last photo of the bird with the yellow is a male Dickcissel. I have been running all over Maryland looking for one.
Great pictures and a great variety of pics. It must have taken you quite a while to collect that assortment.
