Hello, everyone! Scroll on down to see what I came up with for
TODAY'S QUESTIONS!
What species of birds frequent your yard or your neighborhood?
Do you own a bird feeder?
Do you own a bird bath?
Have you ever seen a hummingbird?
This month, migrating Sandhill Cranes are congregating by the thousands in a protected area about 40 minutes from my home. They are huge, magnificent birds with 7-foot wingspans. The local paper reported that a couple of days ago there were about 7,200 cranes in a field in the protected area. They expect the flock to number over 10,000 before the birds move on to their next resting spot during their migration. Have you ever seen a huge flock of birds (thousands)? If so, what species were they?
Did you ever own a parakeet, cockatoo, parrot or other bird?
Did you ever visit an aviary?
Have you ever heard a bird talk (English)?
Name a song with the word "bird" or a species of bird in its title.
Name a play or movie with "bird" or a species of bird in its title.
That's it for today's bird-brained questions! Have a terrific Tuesday, and don't forget to commit an act of kindness.

If so, what species were they? I saw one sandhill crane at my neighborhood lake and called Wildlife to ask what the bird was doing here. People go to Hiwassee Refuge in the eastern part of my state to see large numbers of sandhill cranes. I'm sure everyone has seen starlings in large numbers every year. When I go to Delaware I see Dunlin swarming in very large numbers.
