I saw the most beautiful bird on my deck this morning. I was a blue jay but it's pattern was so wonderful. It grabbed a piece of bread and flew away before I could get my camera. It made me remember how God makes everything unique! :peace:

Awe that happens to me too, everytime I want to take a pic of a bird I see they leave before I can take a pic.

About a week ago I saw a very unusually bird I've never seen before. It was tiny, reddish-brown with a white belly. It had no marks or pattern and the beak was very thin like a needle (and it had very skinny legs.) No, it wasn't a sparrow (I know what a sparrow looks like). I described the bird to my mother, she tried looking it up on the internet but we couldn't find it.

I think it might have been a humming bird.

We had an adorable green bird with a red face and tail recently land on our deck. We thought it might be a parakeet, but not too familiar with birds to say for sure. It flew into one of the trees and a hawk (5 times its size) landed two feet away. It then began to attack the pretty little green bird and at that moment a swarm of cardinals and sparrows flew to protect the little green bird. My daughter and I ran out and tried to shoo away the hawk, but all they did was all swarm to another tree further away. We never knew if the little green bird got away or not. My heart feels for the family that might have lost a beloved pet.

Oh I hope it got away

LOL Sciolario ;D That's exactly what happened to me a few days ago only the bird let me sleep in till 4:48!

I can relate. I feed the birds in my trees every morning and night just so I can see them and how beautiful each one is!!!!

Try this website. It's got some pretty good stuff here and maybe you'll find the bird you're looking for:

I love watching birds every day! They are one of God's creatures and they don't worry where their next meal is coming from or where they will be living. I think one of the most colorful and beautiful birds I have seen up close and personal at my feeder is the painted bunting. He has chartreuse green, blue, and red. Such a pretty bird! I do love all birds, but the hummers give you the best show! You have to be quick or you will miss them. Hard to photograph!

Sounds so beautiful.....I rarely see birds where I live....not sure why, I have plenty trees around....

In our front yard we have 2 feeders, one holds the birdseed, the other holds the type seed that woodpeckers enjoy. Then in our backyard we have a hummingbird feeder. So around here we have enjoyed watching the birds a lot. Usually they don't start chirping around this area till almost 6 am. We had a nest of mockingbirds in our holly bush but when we had that hard rain about a month ago, it toppled the nest and the babies didn't make it :(
-
I have 3 birdbaths and 5 birdhouses in the backyard. I have 6 bird feeders for them. I love watching the birds on a hot day sitting in the birdbaths splashing in the water or just drinking from it. I also throw bread out for them. I have seen many different kinds of birds, I wish I knew more about what kind they are.

I love bird watching. We have many different ones in our area. I have learned a lot about birds from my husband. He grew up in the country and his grandmother taught him.

I love when I stop my day and enjoy nature and all it's beauty.

No, it was definitely not a Humming birds...Humming birds are colorful (green) and iridescent. Their wings flutter really fast and they are much smaller than the bird I saw...The bird I saw hopped along the ground, is reddish-brown, with a white belly. That's definitely not a description of a Humming bird. I've seen a Humming bird before in my yard last summer a matter of fact.

Take a look at these photos. They're all different Sandpipers. There are 4 or 5 there that are brown with white bellies, long beaks and legs:

You are so right God does make everything unique. We have a pair of chickadee's in a nest just out side our front door and we've really enjoyed watching them come and go building a nest. We are surrounded with natural beauty if we just take the time to look at it.

Sounds like you are a real birder. Me Too. For such simple creatures, they can give us peace just watching and listening to their songs. There is such an assortment of birds and they change with the seasons. I am always looking for a new species of bird to show up for some food. I am trying to learn more about them and enjoying participating in Bird Counts. The Great Backyard Bird Count was a thrill for me and I actually got back an email from the sponsor for my participation. I also got free access to the BNA website for a short time. I was able to use this website to identify a bird from a few years ago who was following on my riding mower. Turns out he was a Mississippi Kite.

Thanks, BlackSheepNY...I appreciate you trying to help me find the little sucker, but that's not quite what I saw...The one I saw had no spots, it had sort of a round little head and a round body (I can't really explain). I wish I had my camera at the time, I would have taken a picture. Darn it!...If I ever find it, I'm gonna come back and post a pic so y'all can see.

I have never been woken up by a singing bird, but I have heard them sing very early and it seems at certain times of year they sing even earlier. I have heard them sing as early as 3:00 am.

I love birds! And I like to watch them too.

I like to watch the birds some times. Especially when they fight. It's really funny. I used to have birds for pets. We had a couple parakeets and some finches. The finches were really annoying though because they made so much noise! I miss having a bird and have been trying to get one but now just isn't a good time. :(
