Bird Weekly – Photo Challenge – Birds Beginning with the Letter “D”
Week #34 challenge is Birds beginning with the Letter “D” in the title. This prove to be a difficult one for me because there are not that many “D” birds that I have images of other than the normal doves and ducks.
Bird Weekly – Photo Challenge – Birds on a Wire or a Fence
Week #33 challenge is Birds on a wire or fence. I will accept on a railing or dock too.
Bird Weekly – Photo Challenge – Brown Feathered Birds
Week #32 challenge is Birds with brown feathers. This can be a splash of brown or brown all over! Many “girl” birds are brown whereas their more colorful boyfriend flashes his “Liberace” colors!
Bird Weekly – Photo Challenge – Birds with Butts in the Air
Dabbling ducks is what came to mind when I set this challenge. They frequent ponds and shallow water for tasty vegetation. Among these ducks are American Black Duck, American Wigeon, Blue-winged Teal, Cinnamon Teal, Eurasian Wigeon, Gadwall, Green-winged Teal, Mallard, Mottled Duck, Northern Pintail, Northern Shoveler and Wood Duck.
Bird Weekly – Photo Challenge – Birds Starting with a “C”
Week #30 challenge is Birds starting with a “C”. As long as one of the words in the title starts with a “C” it is good to go. Like Double-crested Cormorant which could also work for the “D” challenge in a few weeks.

Bird Weekly – Photo Challenge – Birds in color and Mono
Birds are hunted for sport and for eating. While my opinion is exceptionally one-sided, I do not condone the killing of birds for sport. I know that it is necessary to thin species out like big wild game such as deer and elk, but I don’t see the point of it unless it is to put food on the table. Many of our favorite edibles are farm raised. For many years, these birds have been kept in small quarters and not allowed to graze and be happy birds. In the last few decades, awareness has shown new trends of “grass fed”, “organic fed” “no hormones or antibiotics” and “happy free range” which indicates these birds have a happy life while they are here. It keeps them from being stressed out and makes our food a lot tastier.
