D Demoiselle Crane,
Looks a lot like the common crane ,but smaller.
It's a great dancer (in spring).

D Dunnock (heggenmus)(hedge sparrow).

In contrast to House sparrows this bird does not live in groups.But they are not monogamous.

The female often breeds with two males at once,and the chicks in one brood do have different fathers.

OK...since I think we've spent two days on the letter B (there are a lot of B's), and it's after midnight in the Eastern US, I'll start the letter C!  I feel a little like a character on Sesame Street.  Anyway...

 Ohhh were still doing B's

Mon and Tues A's
Wed and Thurs B's
Fri and Sat C's

 

Sorry...I assumed since we skipped our second day of A's and spent both Tuesday and Wednesday on the B's, we were ready for C's.  I'll be good and get back to Aafke's original schedule.

Don't worry,it's after midnight now in the Netherlands,it's Friday here.I choose some birds with the B and C together.
Greetings Carla
 PS  In the B topic.

Brown-headed Cowbird

Bronzed Cowbird

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bronzed_Cowbird

Both are brood parasites,laying their eggs in other birds'nests.The BHC female lays up to 40 eggs per season and impacts several endangered species ,such as Black-capped Vireo and Kirtland's Warbler.
They are not one of my favorits.

Zoo Atlanta has posted the video of the birth here

OMG!  amazing!

And check out the 3D ultrasound below the birth video...

It's a Miracle ! Beautiful!

It's fun to learn about all those different birds.I never heard of a Boat-billed Heron,or a Bateleur.I love teh Barn-Owl especially Molly,and I love the Boobies.

The Brambling is a special bird to me,every winter I have them for a short period in my garden.

Because its after midnight ,It's wedenesday for me and I go for Beauty

Hey guys,
we seem to have gotten a day ahead of Aafke's proposed schedule, in which she suggested two days per letter.  Is the consensus that one day is enough...or should we try to get back to her schedule?  Here was Aafke's schedule:

For Monday, November first and Tuesday, November second we have the letter A
For Wednesday, November third and Thursday, November fourth , we have the letter B
For Friday and Saturday, November 5 and 6, we have the letter C
For Sunday and Monday, November 7 and 8, we have the letter D.

ll, I never did follow directions very well. I just follow!

And I thought it was wednesday already.
