Week #47 challenge was Birds with a color in their name.

Disclaimer: If anyone has an issue with me using their photos in the round ups, please kindly let me know. I haven’t had anyone say anything, but I don’t want you to think I’m using your photographs for personal gain. I’m here to show what great work you are doing with your photography by showing you off in these posts.

Many birds with a color in their name makes total sense. Like for instance, the Blue-footed Booby has blue feet, but a Red-bellied Woodpecker doesn’t have a red belly. On another trip down this rabbit hole, I want to research some history of why certain birds were given the names they were.

You all shared many shades on the color wheel this week!


Brian’s Scarlet Honeyeater
Sarah’s Blue-footed Booby (Boobys, Boobies???)
Susan’s Ruby-throated Hummingbird
I.J.’s Plum-headed Parakeets
Lisa’s Brown Creeper

I encourage you to visit these blogs if you haven’t already and see what amazing things they have going on. If I missed your post or there was a problem with a pingback, please let me know and I will be glad to add you to the list. Remember to pingback from my post of that week and not my page. Liking my page is encouraged!


Next up: Week #48: Birds beginning with a โ€œGโ€ (if a bird has more than one word of the name, you can use it as long as it begins with a โ€œGโ€, ie: Green Heron or Common Gallinule) (5/21/21)

I look forward to seeing your creations this week!

    A delightful collection. Red-winged blackbirds are so territorial. Earlier this week, one swooshed by me on the golf tee.

      Yes, they are. Especially during mating season. I’d take a swoosh any day. ๐Ÿ™‚

    I love that I get to see birds unknown to me in these challenges. Armchair travelling.

      That is a perfect way to put it too! Armchair travelling. I feel like I’m going all over the world in Bird Weekly and it is quite enlightening. Makes me want to travel more. LOL! ๐Ÿ™‚

    It’s great seeing everyone’s favorited birds. They are singing so loud in the morning, they wake me up. I hear them, but I rarely see them. They are off and about the business of birds in summer.

      Sounds about right. We have baby cardinals in the backyard that haven’t fledged yet. I can hear them from the bathroom window. ๐Ÿ™‚
