My Weekly Bird ABC

Well here we are at the end of the alphabet.

Today we take a look at the letter 'Z'.

Since I have not seen a Zebra bird I had to find something else.

The first bird is more commonly known as a White-crowned Sparrow,

BUT,

for today I will use it's scientific name of 'Zonotrichia levcophrys'.

Aside from a name like that,this is a beautiful bird.

The plaintive whistle is a welcome sound in early spring.

We usually see this bird on the ground,scratching for food.

I believe this bird was waiting his turn at the feed on the ground.

Here is another view of this spring bird. Next I want to show you another common bird,the Mourning Dove. Yes,this bird too has a special scientific name,'Zenaida macroura'. Below is a picture I took last summer. It seems as though the Mourning Doves were having a convention. Mourning Doves look so soft and gentle. You can almost see the tenderness in this dove's eyes. Their gentle cooing is one that I look forward to in spring. Jake was lucky enough to capture this one in flight.

Well folks that's it for the ABC.

I am almost sorry to have it end,it has been most enjoyable for me.

Because I don't want this to end too quickly,here is a quick review of all the letters.

Enjoy.

I might add that I have another series in the works.

This one will be titled 'A Walk Down Memory Lane'.

Stay tuned next week for more.
