To acknowledge my 500th post and wish you all a Happy New Year, I have convinced my colourful little feathered friend, Townsend's Warbler, to share a tale with you ~

  5. A Townsend's warbler eh? I've never seen this bird before, so what a treat for me. What vivid colours and markings, it's looks like Batman!
    A lovely story, I look forward to more.

    1. Thanks greenthumb! I'm thinking about the Photo Scavenger Hunt for January now, and I'll put the photos together in a similar fashion, and then each individually like I did last year :)

  9. Delightful! A really lovely sequence Glo. My favourite photo was the beseeching and rather accusatory one with the 'nothing' caption...such a sweet little bird :-)

    1. Thanks so much ShySongbird! The Townsend's Warbler is such a striking bird, and its expressions seem to be amplified by its mask-like markings :) I'm glad you enjoyed the post ~

  11. Brilliantly though out and illustrated Glo. Would make an excellent section for a nature book for children and those of us still children at heart.
