Thursday Postcard Hunt - (Song) Birds
Thursday Postcard Hunt has us looking for Birds this week, specifically Song Birds.
Western Meadowlark, Oregon's State Bird - 1968
In 1927 this songbird won State Bird by popular vote of the state's school children.

These next two are surprisingly considered songbirds. At least, they surprised me.
Anna's Humming Bird
Cardinal on The Legend of the Dogwood postcard. Dogwoods have migrated west from their native area, but cardinals haven't.
Next week's Spring theme is Easter-y Things.
Wow, the legend of the dogwood!
ReplyDeleteI have several other postcards with the same legend. It's popular in the American south. Dogwoods aren't native to the Bible lands, so...
DeleteGreat birds, and featuring one of my favorites, the dogwood
ReplyDeleteThere's a pink dogwood ready to bloom on my street. I keep meaning to get a photo each spring, but feel funny pulling over and taking a picture! Maybe if I see the people who live there out I'll ask.
Delete...the more the merrier.
ReplyDeleteThe first one is so pretty. And the Anna's hummingbird must be a beautiful sight to see in the sunshine. I alo have several of those dogwood legend cards - they seemed to have been quite popular.
ReplyDeleteOnly having been west of the Rockies some four or five times in my life I have never seen the first two birds (although I know of them). But Northern Cardinals are a beautiful part of our lives here in the East.
ReplyDeleteYes, the bird I've never seen!
DeleteHummingbirds are songbirds? Interesting.
ReplyDeleteI have few bird postcards, and looked up a list of songbirds. Anna's was listed. I've heard them chirp, but that's not much of a song! Still, I went with it! It's not on all the lists though.
DeleteCardinals are so pretty. I'm happy they hang out around here. The meadowlark is cute, too.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a cardinal. :(
DeleteI love ❤️ 🐦 birds and really like this. Living in a city like Montreal, Canada 🇨🇦 I don't really get to see hummingbirds as I live on a 6th floor apartment. Delightful post and lovely blog. Thank you so much for sharing ❤️
ReplyDeleteI never thought about how far up they might, or might not, fly for a feeder!
DeleteI can understand why the western meadowlark got the vote after I went in search of its sound. Beautiful variety of songs and calls plus a lovely plumage, Pretty card.
