Bird Songs: 250 North American Birds in Song | Les Beletsky

#HaikuADay #HaikuHive

Today‘s haiku is inspired by the spotted dove cooing & singing this morning. (I borrowed this picture). Not native to Hawaii, the spotted dove was introduced from Asia in the 1800s.

Morning Sounds

The spotted dove coos
A soft plaintive melody

#FridayHappyReadingHour
We need a better hummingbird book- I have seen 3 varieties at our feeder, but only 1 is identified in the tagged book. Suggestions?
Enjoying Tost Sparkling Wine, thanks to @Amiable while happily reading.

dabbe @spenmoll @TheBookHippie @Aims42 ... I don't know if you've seen these, but we absolutely LOVE these hummingbird feeders. 1st: easy to clean. 2nd: the birds can actually REST while drinking. 3rd: No need to use the artificial dyed food: just a 1:4 sugar/water ratio. 4th: Our birds LOVE these feeders!

Aims42 @dabbe Oh wow! I‘ve never seen this style of hummingbird feeder, I love your reasons!! Thanks for the link!!! 3w

Amiable Which aisle in Big Y was the Töst? I went looking at the one in Old Lyme the other day but didn‘t find it. I probably walked right past it. 3w

dabbe @Aims42 Yay! Let me know if you like them! 💛🤎🧡 3w

mcctrish I‘m going to get one of this style feeder for my sister for her cottage - Happy Friday 3w

kspenmoll @Amiable I am going tomorrow so I will check. It was on a top shelf- not with soda, next isle. Will let you know. 3w

kspenmoll @dabbe I have one of these but I need a second! I did not even realize about the perch thing. The one I have is in garden. But now I want to replace the kitchen window one that is so active & we all can see them. My garden one I have to be on the porch. I do make my own sugar water, so easy! Thank you!!!! (edited) 3w

dabbe @mcctrish YAY! 💛🤎🧡 3w

dabbe @kspenmoll 💛🤎🧡 3w

janeycanuck Not a book but have you used the Merlin app? It‘s from Cornell and it‘ll identify birds by photo or sound. 3w

My mom bought this for my oldest, so I read it before he took it. He‘s going back to RI soon for his senior year. He‘s studying Wildlife Biology & Conservation. He‘s become obsessed with birds. He‘s getting his applications ready for grad school. He wants to focus on birds (ducks or songbirds, still deciding, now that he‘s been reading about the research being done at different universities he‘s having a harder time narrowing it down). I learned

ncsufoxes some new facts: like 70% of songbirds don‘t survive into adulthood. I can see why my son is so captivated by these animals. I‘m happy that he‘s found his passion & hopefully he‘ll get the opportunity to become a bird researcher. I keep telling him he needs to post more on IG to bring more attention to birds. I enjoyed getting to learn more about birds on the west coast & jealous of Amy Tan‘s drawing abilities. 1mo

Sibley's Birding Basics | David Allen Sibley

Mourning dove update:

This is a still from our makeshift nestcam. The one on the gate is one of the babies, who flew down to perch and was joined by a parent briefly before parent flew to the nest. Then the other baby flew down to the gate but kept landing on its sibling, so they both flew up to the parent in the nest for second breakfast.

Quite exciting times at our gate! I think this means they're more teens than babies, though.

Eggbeater Aww. Your beautiful bird family is growing up. 🥰 I love that picture. 2mo

Clare-Dragonfly You have to wonder if the second baby had bad aim or was just trying to annoy its sibling 😂 2mo

dabbe 🤩🤩🤩 2mo

AnnCrystal They grow up too fast 🤩 how magically beautiful 🕊️💝💝💝. 2mo

I only had 3 5 star reads in June, and I may still add the others in Wild Card spots. This tagged book was the most fun read and helped me get out of a reading slump. It is a delight!

An adorable and funny historical romance with a touch of fantasy. The banter between the love interests is great and I read this slow just to savor it. 5⭐️

Bird watching at the river mouth. Took about a 30 minute hike through the dunes to get there. Definitely worth it for the beauty of the area. Now we‘re at our usual walking park/beach watching the swallows swoop and swirl, picking their lunch out of midair. :)

Bookwomble For a moment I thought your photo showed "an arm clad in white samite shooting above the surface of the lake, brandishing a glittering sword in its hand" as I've just read the passage in my book where King Arthur recruits Excalibur from the Lady in the Lake! I'm very impressionable ? 3mo

IriDas @Bookwomble Now I see it. That‘s great. 😀 But you know, “Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.” 🗡️(eta: tagged the wrong person at first. Old eyes tricking me. lol) (edited) 3mo
