I am a colorful songbird with a song to sing in harmony with others. ;-)

The word in question means small (a size one on the bird-banding scale). As a birdwatcher, I can tell you that in North America, we mostly see the titmouse. However Blue Tits visit approx. 90% of UK gardens. There are also Sultan Tits, Varied Tits, Azure Tits, Japanese Tits, Yellow Tits, and Elegant Tits to name just a few.

I will not reply to any non-birding related e-mails/flowers generated by this post. LOL

The other day while visiting my folks in the country, I stepped out to greet the early morning chatter of many species of birds in the air and trees. Songs and chirps abound.

I could not help but think of these forums, everyone with their different songs, chirps, cackles and squawks.

I thought how some threads were like crows cawing away and most annoying.

Others were sweet and melodic and laced with cheeriness.

Some are like the morming doves, same coo-coo over and over.

Others parrot others....

Some are just cheap, cheap, cheap...

So which bird are you? Why?

A HUMMINGBIRD! 100% Without a doubt!

I LOVE them...their beautiful colors...boldness...fascination of them....to be so very TINY...& yet breathtaking @ the same time...

How in most states they leave just before Winter sets in...leaving us anxiously waiting their return every Spring....

when the Earth is renewed & alive with blossoming colors.....

Hummingbirds....Forever

A Hummingbird weighs aprox. 3 grams..which is 1/10th the size of a first class letter.

they'er eggs are less than half an inch long...HALF the size of a jelly bean.

they can fly up to 45 miles per hour...wings beating up to 200 times per second during flight

Rubythroats fly over 500 miles nonstop during migration every year

Can the Robin top a Hummer??? 8-)

Hi Nubi,
You might know the wagtail as the Pipit!
rock and water pipits and yellow wagtails
apparently get as far as Alaska and North
America.
They are smaller than a starling,
sleek and long tailed which does wag up
and down hence the name.
They are quite comical and beautifully
marked.
I saw a yellow wagtail for the first time
last week, by a river which is their habitat.
