My Weekly Bird ABC

'Q', now this one is a challenge.

The first bird is known as a Common Grackle

but for today I will use it's scientific name,

Quiscalus quiscula.

I am thankful that this is not the usual way of referring to this bird.

All birds have a common name and a scientific one.

The Grackle is not one of the most loved birds,

as it may raid other nests,and when a flock arrive

they can empty the feeders very quickly. Now I will move on to Queer.

The House Finch pictured below has a queer hair style.

I think it was part of the molt,but I like the bad hair day idea.

As if that wasn't queer enough,take a look at this American Robin.

He looks in rough shape,but did not act sick so it was probably in molt as well.

I think he is about the most pathetic looking Robin I have ever seen.

Queer seems to fit well here.

I know this post does not have many pictures,

but this is all I could come up with.

Check back next Monday,it should look much better.

How great are your works,O Lord.
