MALE BALTIMORE ORIOLE
Had ourselves a cloudy day so this morning Me & the Motormouse watched the 3 Stooges on television & this afternoon we caught Humphrey Bogart in Key Largo. Well, the Motor slept through most of the movie but I watched it. First old movie I have seen in many, many years. It's very rare for me to sit through any movie on television but today was the exception. I prefer movies in theaters with big sound, big picture, no commercials & no distractions...........10-4!! Oh, & no popcorn either!!
COULD THIS BE THE FEMALE ORIOLE JUDY? DOESN'T LOOK LIKE WHAT MY BOOK DESCRIBES AS THE FEMALE.......MALE TOWHEE MAYBE??
Two RVing Bloggers on our sidebar coincidentally landed in the same RV Park a few days ago. Jerry & Suzy from OUR LIFE ON WHEELS has rolled into the same BOULDER CREEK RV PARK near Lone Pine California that Joe & Nancy from the RVING BEACH BUMS are in. Might be some RV tall tale’s rolling around the campground over the next few days:)) When we left Lone Pine back in March we stopped at the Boulder Creek Park to dump our tanks before heading off through California’s Death Valley to Nevada’s Valley Of Fire. Thought the Boulder Creek Park looked well maintained.

Ivan has finally made it back home to the beautiful Lake Louise area of Alberta Canada. As anyone knows who has traveled through that area, it just doesn’t get much prettier than the Canadian Rockies in them there parts.
Thanks to Phil in Phoenix Arizona for letting me know the Tavistock link in Saturdays blog did not work. I have since fixed it in yesterday’s post but will place it here again as well…TAVISTOCK...SMALL TOWN SATURDAY NIGHT.
MY BIRDFEEDER'S ARCH ENEMY!!
And to answer a reader question….Yes, all yesterday’s bird photos were taken yesterday in our front yard. All of today’s bird photos were taken today in our yard as well. Despite taking down 3 of the bird feeders this morning because of squirrel problems I was heartened to see a Baltimore Oriole come in this afternoon.
GROANER’S CORNER:(( Did you hear about the guy who played golf on Christmas and
accidentally hit a bird?
He got a partridge on a par three.
Why did the talking bird join the army?
He wanted to be a parrot-trooper.
What do you give a sick bird?
Tweetment.
What happened when the owl lost his voice?
He didn't give a hoot.

The only thing better than right now will someday be the memories of right
now...... AL.
Wow - always love those fantastic pictures you take of the birds...very nice.
ReplyDeleteIf you feed them, they will come.
ReplyDeleteCan't believe Cora slept through the movie...maybe you should have had Meaty Bone flavored popcorn!
ReplyDeleteGreat bird pictures. The male Oriole is so colorful. And I think the squirrel is cute!
So nice to see the beautiful songbirds at your feeders. Hang in there, Al
ReplyDeleteI've never seen such a dark colored squirrel before! He must be eating all of your sunflower seeds, or something! He looks like a real seed guzzler, alright.
ReplyDeleteGlad Cora got a nice nap. Too bad you didn't.
No Popcorn!!!! I don't blame the motormouse for sleeping then.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the black squirrels you get up North. We used to have the red ones, now we only get the gray ones!..We are also fighting a never ending war with the covert squirrel raiders..Those little suckers can climb higher, jump farther and balance more precariously than Superman! GRRRRR!
ReplyDeleteBird in question is definitely a male Easter towhee. Good I
ReplyDeleteD!
How can you watch a movie without hot buttered popcorn? Seems almost sacreligious! :)
I love your pictures of birds in your area. We don't get some of those birds out west. The Oriole is one of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteYou are so fortunate that they are in your front yard!
Cheers!
We met Joe and Nancy yesterday, just briefly. They will be leaving this morning, so not much chance of sharing tales this week! We did manage to take each other's pictures, but I didn't post last night. Hope he did -- gotta go check on that! Thanks for playing matchmaker!
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy old movies, but I have to watch them alone.
