When I get too serious in a blog, a "crazy eye" photo reminds me to knock it off!

Cedar Waxwings at Magee Marsh

A photo essay on the intelligence and memory of Eastern Bluebirds in Western Ohio.
Dive bombing!
No biting below the belt!
Now the Tree Swallow has stooped to taunting! "I got yer sunshine here, Mr. Bluebird!"
"Ah, honey, something doesn't look right."
Oops, honey, what's that back there?
*Please note the "You're an idiot" look the female is giving the male and the typical quiet stare of said male.
Oh, uh, sorry about that neighbor!
"Hey Bluebird! I got yer sorry right here!"
Everyone is happy in their own homes...at least for now...
Yep, this really happened outside of the Carlisle Nature Center. We were out to set up our display of "The Birds and Beauty of Britain." When we went on a short walk afterwards, this was the event that unfolded.
The light was harsh as this happened at high noon...appropriate, eh?

More May-hem from Magee Marsh
Meanwhile, marching through the madcap Magee Marsh a month ago in May-hem, many magnificent multicolored masters of migration paused momentarily for a meal (yoiks, that's a lot of 'm' words) while your mad maestro of booty committed them to memory.
My, my.
Who's got a colorful little noggin?...and a colorful little tushy? The Doodles doesn't like the word "tushy" by the way...
Oh my gosh, he's sitting still! At least for a second...Do you know him?
Masterful deduction! It is indeed, a Bay-Breasted Warbler!
