I felt guilty ever after.Arijahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03720793296992474762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2475638899054945042.post-3687338002907814812012-03-18T19:11:52.876-04:002012-03-18T19:11:52.876-04:00I kinda wandered from one blog to another till I e...I kinda wandered from one blog to another till I ended here.

Will she follow your W.B.B; no doubt! She would get so much enjoyment sharing your wonderful pictorial articles. The startling is an odd one; it seemed to me it has been hand- reared also, and I can imagine how you were driven to try and place it back into the environs where it could behave more like a bird. <br /><br />Isn’t that amazing the strong blue evident in the just-right angle of the Common Grackle’s head ; fantastic shot. How much you will enjoy getting out birding with the new season in the making.Carole M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13261384312136535762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2475638899054945042.post-797303104382665212012-03-14T14:14:39.826-04:002012-03-14T14:14:39.826-04:00This is my first posting here but I've visited...This is my first posting here but I've visited this meme several times and enjoyed it each time.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09676889985529767445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2475638899054945042.post-33131211219554615272012-03-14T08:13:11.866-04:002012-03-14T08:13:11.866-04:00I am fascinated that the starling was so friendly!...I am fascinated that the starling was so friendly!<br /><br />Yes, the birds are migrating !
