Winged Wednesday — 6/10/2026: The Color Blue

It’s Winged Wednesday, where feathers, flutters, and flight steal the show! Whether they’re soaring, hovering, gliding, or simply posing where the light is best, we want to see your favorite winged wonders. Birds, bugs, bats, butterflies, dragonflies, or anything else with wings—if it flies, it qualifies.

My contribution this is brought to you by The Color Blue.

We spend our lives beneath a blue sky, yet a flash of blue in a tree can still stop a birdwatcher mid-sentence.
Some of these birds wear blue boldly. Others hide it in a wing, a tail, or a brief shimmer of sunlight.
Either way, blue has a remarkable ability to make us look twice.

These are a few of my favorite winged visitors who brought a little blue to the week.

It's hard to overlook blue when blue refuses to be overlooked.

A little blue goes a long way, especially at takeoff.

It's easier to stay together when you're going the same direction.

When wings closed, a butterfly. When open, an announcement.

If you can't find it, try turning the world upside down.
