Colorful Joyful Bird

A few days ago when it was warmer lots of birds were joyfully singing. Yesterday I looked out the window and saw a small bird digging in the ground. It kept digging in the ground in the same spot for so long I thought it might be digging a nest. I wondered if a bird would dig it's own nest on the ground. I learned that a Veery is one such bird.

I tried taking a photo but my zoom wasn't good enough to capture the bird at that distance and the bird blended into the hillside. Later I went outside to distract the bird from the location because it's a place my cats routinely pass by. Perhaps it was only foraging for food since it didn't return. If a bird's song could be painted I'm sure it would be very colorful. I was inspired to make a colorful joyful bird. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.

  1. How pretty. I need to add it to my "life list" which I just learned about from birding friends.

  3. We have had LOTS of birds foraging for food in our side yard. It's comical to watch because they dig and flick leaves and pine needles into the air. Somedays there are what seems like 30+ birds out there.

    1. Hi Michele, thanks, the birds must have been foraging but I have never seen one stay in one place so long and I never did see it snatch up anything to eat. Perhaps there was a wealth of insects in that one spot.
