Little Red Riding Hood would be impressed with this Blow Fly (or Green Bottle Fly -- a type of blow fly -- my best guess), no?

Gloria's Birds: Why do I think she's a fledgling Black-capped Chickadee?

Wednesday, August 17, 2022


Because she stuck her tongue out while drinking, so unused to that activity was she; and, her feathers are in fledgling-like disarray. I love her tiny tongue:)

Great Blue Heron missed the Mallard flying by in Lake Washington the other day. Turns out it was fish, not ducks, the heron was seeking:).

Gloria's Birds: Common as they are, this is one of my first images of a European Starling

We must not hang out in the same places:)

Our European Starlings are all descendants of between 60 and 100 starlings introduced into New York City's Central Park in 1890. European Starlings were first recorded not long after in Washington, in 1943.

They were brought here intentionally by some folks who wanted the U.S. to contain all of the birds mentioned by Shakespeare in his writing!
