    Week #38 of Bird Weekly brought us “E” Birds as opposed to Ebird. Many of you shared egrets, eagles and eastern or eurasian something or another. Another fine gallery of birds this week with lots of white feathered birds that got postponed from the week prior to this week.

    Official White House Photo by Chuck Kennedy One of my favorite quotes is by Michelle Obama, former First Lady of the United States.

    Bird Weekly Round-Up – Week #37

    Week #37 of Bird Weekly was all about the white feathered birds. The controversy of whether it is a color or not is an interesting subject. Technically, black and white are not colors at all but are shades.
