It’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!
This week’s theme? Birds with Christmas colors, cheer, or unintentional holiday flair.
Think red, green, white, or anything that might accidentally match a peppermint wrapper. I’m sharing five birds that remind me of ornaments, angels, snowdrifts—or just deeply confused gift deliveries.
Vermilion Flycatcher
He wears red like he invented it—perched like a tree-top ornament with wings.
Broad-billed Hummingbird
Wings like bells, a gorget that flickers like holiday lights, and the metabolism of a child on Christmas cookies. Festive and ferocious.
Mourning Dove
She coos like a hymn and floats like a prayer. Not flashy, not fussy—just peace on wings.
Elegant Trogon
Seen in Madera Canyon, Red belly, green back, golden eye—the Elegant Trogon doesn’t dress down for the holidays. He looks like a tree top ornament.
American White Pelicans
Big, white, and slightly confused about the season—like a snow bank with wings.
