Last year (not for this meme) I put a post up with a picture of a scrub Jay and said how pretty and blue it was and at least one commenter said what a lovely bluebird it was. No -- it is a blue bird, not a bluebird. Confusing I guess.Sallie (FullTime-Life)http://travelingrainvilles.typepad.com/traveling_home/2011/08/walkin-with-the-turkeys.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613882486442283643.post-49071720557874978832011-08-17T08:28:42.676+10:002011-08-17T08:28:42.676+10:00Lovely images Stewart... a great bird to see.

It looks similar to the purple gallinule here in the States and similar to our Common Moorhen which was just recently re-named and reclassified as a common gallinule. I suppose your bird and ours are in the same family if I bothered to look it up. Nice shots and thanks for visiting my sycamore Canyon birds blog. I need to add new posts to it. I moved away from there shortly after starting to it but I still have a treasure trove of photos from the 3 years I lived there. Nice Post and nice shots.Kathie Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10377224759599266209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613882486442283643.post-29230734043512973262011-08-16T23:43:49.837+10:002011-08-16T23:43:49.837+10:00what a cool looking bird! but i could do without ...what a cool looking bird! but i could do without the pillaging and plundering it does! :)TexWisGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15510099344729038541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613882486442283643.post-31269372658292468912011-08-16T21:31:48.645+10:002011-08-16T21:31:48.645+10:00Glad you are safely back again.

They really are nasty pasties.<br /><br />I am absolutely shattered at the death of Klaus. Apart from being a fantastic photographer he was also always helpful it one had a problem. Klaus was two years younger than my daughter which somehow makes it even sadder.Arijahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03720793296992474762noreply@blogger.com
