Bird Band

Happy nuthatch taps Drumming his special rhythm On my dogwood tree Robin provides melody Tone deaf bluejay acts annoyed written June 19, 2021

What IS with those bluejays anyway.? They are the most unloved of birds, for sure. Oh, maybe crows and vultures are worse... :) gw

I turned on bluejays when they started chasing the smaller birds from my window bird feeder. That spelled greedy and selfish and uncaring to me and reminded me of the way bullies are. I don't like bullies!

Really a multifaceted band, each one has their way of singing, nuthatch has for me a special way of conducting, maybe it would be better used in a Brazilian samba school. Robin has a beautiful singing, he would be a leader in any band. ..bluejay is reticent for one note, maybe better to put him as a roadie... congrats my friend for the wonderful idea,,, salute, alkas

Nuthatch and robin can probably do nice harmonies together. I guess bluejay needs music lessons. Very nice one Milton!...ab

Yeah, that's probably the case. Bluejays are sort of bullies, anyway. They do not sing well in choirs!
