My friend Jenn, a gentlewoman with a compassionate heart and, I suspect, a rather adventurous soul, published a number of photos of the back ends of birds on her
blog today. She also posted a linky, and asked her friends to find photos of bird butts to publish and link to her.
Well, who am I to resist a challenge when I'm almost healthy and have a tiny bit of energy and imagination?
I found lots of butts, not all of them bird butts. I found plenty of dog butts, a gorilla butt, and more, which I'll have to save in hopes someone suggests a butt challenge again, with a wider scope.
Meanwhile, just for Jenn, I have a few back ends of birds.

This isn't technically a butt, but it's the back of a hummingbird sitting on a branch, not an easy capture for my intrepid photographer.

European birds. I know because the photo
was taken in Germany. |

Do you have photos of birds who turned around at just the wrong time?

I find most of my bird photos are sideways on. What’s really fun is a duck turning upside down.
You're so much fun to play along! I find that there are too many amazing photos, not enough fun ones where you think, 'Oh, darn!'
Maybe next week we can do an animal butt one!
I enjoyed all the bird butts!
You did find quite a few bird butts in your archives. My favorite is the guy (perhaps a meadow lark?) looking over its shoulder.
Wow! you did so well for the spur of the moment Kay! I have none to offer but I enjoyed looking at yours - especially the one from Alberta with the yellow head. I love his posture. He appears to be posing for us.
Wow you've got some interesting butts!
Thanks for your comment . Yes it was very brave of Kay and Art from Hawaii to go cycling in Belgium and The Netherlands. The traffic has become more and more busy compared to that of the fifties, when my sister and I cycled to England and along the south coast of England to Bristol. Yes, a lot has changed now.

Oh there's bird butts galore - well lots of undersides anyway - over at My Take's Wings on Wednesday, and if you scroll down to TAKE ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTEEN, you'll get an eyeful!!!
What a fun post and one I could finally properly take part in...will go visit the country cottage and take a look around. YAM xx
Birds butt galore.Getting near to snap them is difficult enough. Sneaking in to catch their beautiful butts must have taken lots of efforts! Wonderful take Kay!

Good collection!
The European bird is a coot and very very common in the Netherlands and Germany.
What a nice collection but the peacock is most magnificent by far!
If I had access to my pictures, I would definitely link up. I'm always getting accidental bird butts.
How in the world did you find all those bird butts so quickly? Good gracious! You must have your photos organized perfectly. I'm so jealous!
