I don't think any British birds have eggs of that colour, so at first glance I thought your post would be about a sugar egg hunt! :) <br /><br />There are some very pretty birds in your neck of the wood. The blackbird with those flashes of colour is particularly striking. <br /><br />I hope that whatever is keeping you busy is good. I have been blogging (and visiting) very sporadically lately, and I don't really know why.

Most of the woodpeckers I see here are a bit different. Their heads are all red, and that's why they are called the red headed woodpecker. I have seen a few of the red-bellied ones too. Oh, this is so interesting to me. :)Red Rose Alleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02685747099912989862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-65398881329662172932016-05-31T22:35:51.559-04:002016-05-31T22:35:51.559-04:00Oh Jeanie, you got a picture of the red cardinal! ...Oh Jeanie, you got a picture of the red cardinal! It is a dream of mine to one day see the red cardinal. We don't see them around here where I live in California. These are awesome pictures of all the different Michigan birds. Love that woodpecker - we call it the red headed woodpecker here. And that blackbird is so interesting to look at. Bird watching is one of my favorite things to do. We must be kindred spirits. :)<br /><br />~SheriRed Rose Alleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02685747099912989862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-21158560897827758712016-05-31T11:35:17.018-04:002016-05-31T11:35:17.018-04:00Those pictures make it easy to see why they came u...Those pictures make it easy to see why they came up with the term 'robin's egg blue'!
