t’s Winged Wednesday, where feathers, flutters, and flight steal the show! Whether they’re zipping, swooping, sunbathing, or just striking a sassy pose, we want to see your favorite winged wonders. Birds, bugs, bats, or butterflies—if it’s got wings, it’s fair game!
My contribution this week: Birds and Berries.
Every photo this week was taken at the same pyracantha bush in my yard a few years ago. For several weeks,every bird in Arizona apparently decided to stop by for lunch.
Cedar Waxwing
A cedar waxwing can swallow berries so fast you begin to suspect the bird is being paid by volume.
Phainopepla
The Phainopepla looks like a gothic rock star who wandered into a berry berry good buffet.
American Robin
The robins eventually arrived in force and stripped the bush clean in roughly twelve hours. Nature can be remarkably efficient when free food is involved.
Western Bluebird
The Western Bluebird somehow manages to make berry theft look wholesome and emotionally uplifting.
Hermit Thrush
The Hermit Thrush always looks slightly offended to be photographed during lunch.
