That's so cool! Over here, the yellowhammers are said to sing about 'a little bit of bread and no cheese'! Needs some imagination though, trust me. Although they're beautiful. 😉
Pretty country up there. We're down here in S central Pennsylvania. May be they have a layover here. I guess migration is in our DNA! Good work capturing those quick office workers!
Oh I imagine they do make some pit stops in your neck of the woods! I’m admittedly not familiar with it, other than a night in Philly en route to DC a few years back, but what I saw was lovely 😊
Grackles and kinglets - those bird names over there are wonderful, Bryn!
A beautiful post - really gorgeous. 'Our' first swallows have arrived from Africa - they're a steely black on top, and white and buff underneath. Very envious of your iridescent blue ones...! 🤣
Thanks Rebecca 💜 The names are wild, aren’t they? Another one that returned last weekend is called a northern parula, and after a while it starts to all sound like bad Scrabble hands! “Your” African sparrows sounds quite distinguished, with a smart black jacket over linen. 🎩
Don’t you love the kinglets? We’ve got both ruby-crowned and golden-crowned around here, though getting them to slow down enough to show their crown is tricky.
Beautiful photos! We seem to have less variety around here (to be honest, I don't look around enough to be certain of that!)
Do you get the "cheeseburger" singing birds in your area?
Thanks Mark ☺️ I didn’t think we had much variety either until I looked more, so you might be surprised!
That cheeseburger singing bird? Now I’m curious, because I would love a bird that sings about cheeseburgers!
Its call sounds like it's saying cheeseburger. Apparently it's the black-capped chickadee.
We get lots of those cheeky guys here. At the Irving Nature Park they’ll eat out your hand!

Ooooh, you've made me feel better about our non-Technicolor swallows! (sorry for typo!).
That’s quite okay - it just means you were spared the obvious Monty Python but about coconuts 😂
Are you SURE you're not British?! 🤣
😂 My nan was born in London, family is from Scarborough. My mom was born in Canada but lived in Leicester for about 10 years as a kid. So....😄
🙌 KNEW it before I knew it! 😉
🤣
The photos accompanying this are lovely.
Especially the one of the tree swallow.
Thank you, Olga! ☺️

They are the trickiest birds to photograph, crown or no crown! High up in trees, so quick. It was my nemesis bird until recently.
But yes, to answer your question, I do love them ☺️ and we also have both varieties here.
