Dalas & idaho Spud

think you are right looks like a juvenile female Tropical Parula. nothing else comes close.  

Comment by Joan Denoo on November 10, 2012 at 12:15pm

Dallas, I have mostly sparrows, too. I play CD bird songs trying to attract in the birds I know live in this area. Occasionally gold finch, woodpeckers, and hawks drop in and of course, the sky is full of crows and pigeons but they don't land here. If anyone has any other ideas for attracting birds, please let me know.  

Comment by Dallas the Phallus on November 10, 2012 at 12:04pm

Certainly looks the same. The slight differences may be differences in gender. 

Comment by Idaho Spud on November 10, 2012 at 11:32am

Although the bill is not the right shape.  I got my picture from Google, and after reading about it, mine may be a hybrid.  Wikipedia shows the Tropical Parula as being more black than blue.  What do I know?  Not much.

Thanks. Anyone know what kind of bird it is?

Comment by Steph S. on November 10, 2012 at 10:38am

Such a beautiful sight to see this morning. It's windy here. It might rain. I need to check the forecast.

Comment by Idaho Spud on November 10, 2012 at 10:23am

Attractive bird Dallas, and I like the animation.

Comment by Steph S. on November 10, 2012 at 12:21am

I love that animated GIF Dallas - thanks so much for posting it here. Beautiful!

Comment by Dallas the Phallus on November 9, 2012 at 11:03pm

I don't get anything that colorful around here. Only plain brown sparrows, it seems.

The Rednecks are coming, the Rednecks are coming

Actually, the rednecks are here and everywhere. Let me say, I'm not a big fan of these people. That's putting it mildly. Need I describe them? You know who I mean.This seems to be the time of year when they come out of the woodwork. Here in Indiana, as the weather gets nice, the motorcyclists are out in full force. I hate the noise cycles make. Then there's the Indianapolis 500 fans, the majority of which are rednecks. Interview them or a typical Pacer fan (big news as they face the Miami…See More
