My Backyard Birds

Out of curiosity (or boredom), I did a mapquest search for “Bird.”  According to Mapquest, there are two places in the United States called Bird; Bird, Lousianna and Bird, New York.

Bird, LA seems to be a section of Baton Rouge.  Bird, NY  is in the southwest part of the state of New York.  I didn’t find anything on either place on Google because all the search results were about birds in Louisianna or New York. 

Does anyone out there live in Bird?  Post a comment and let me know what it’s like.

A Carolina Wren that I just saw hopping around my backyard got my attention.  Then I noticed a smaller bird following along behind it.  The Wren came on my back porch, jumping around and perching on various boxes and tools.  I noticed that it had what looked like some sort of moth or other winged insect in its beak.  Every time the little one caught up, the larger one waived the insect at it and hopped away to a new perch.  The little one kept squawking and opening its mouth, but the big one just waived the insect at it and moved on.   My guess it that this was a parent wren either encouraging it’s baby to fly, or trying to entice it back to the nest.  I had never seen anything like that before.
