My guess is that this place is your BACKYARD! :) Also, from your comment in the last post, I used to get confused by seeing the iridescent feathers on the grackle because I used to think they were just black. Sometimes they look just black to me from an angle, and at another angle, I see the beautiful colors. They seem to glisten! Well, I gotta get ready for school now! This comment is being written in 7 in the morning. Bye!!
P.S. I finally got the Merlin Bird ID app! It's amazing to use!!! I love the pictures of birds in HD too! :) You should download it! I finally was able to do it now because my parents got new phones, so they have the IOS 7 update, which is what you need to download this app! :)
i totlly agree with tasfiya i think it is your backyard because the first time i looked at it i thought it was the school garden and while i waited for the internet to work i re-thought my inference and since the school garden isnt as pretty ( no offense school) it had to be your back yard its more colorful with alot of plants its so hot today i am having millions of headaches etc i hope my hypothesis is right :)
Yep, it's my yard. And yes, I'll have to check out the Merlin app. Sounds great!
What I like best is how your yard is organized. For ex: I like how you have like a lane to walk down the middle and you plant things on both sides. Plus, my mom really loves the pink flowers in your yard that is on the right of the picture. What type of flower is that? Because, my mom first saw it at a friend's house and she wants to get that flower for our yard. I also couldn't help noticing the bird feeders in the back! Is that apple designed container hanging from the tree also a feeder, because it looks really nice! Also, I zoomed up on that golden mask on your fence in the back and it kinda looks like you because of the curly hair and other things. I can't wait for Monday! We have bowling that day AND the Brooklyn Grange! Two awesome trips in one day! I'm also super excited for the school fair. My mom said we are going. Well, I ran out of things to say right now. Bye!! :)
P.S. Are kids from the club going to make the seed packets at home, or help stay after school Friday to help you set them up. Because my mom gave me permission to stay on Friday, she would just want to know the time to pick me up.
Hi Ms.Seitz!Sorry about the grackle confusion on your other post,the one about the blue jay.It was actually my brother up to his silly games again.I did see a Cardinal for the first time.I do like buritos but when I found out that my brother did this I got super mad at him so I'm not sharing anything with him for the next three days.I love the colors of a male Cardinal.I am reading a book called Wild Wings by Gill Lewis and it is about a boy named Callum who lives in Scotland and finds an aerie on his farm and he protects it with his best friend Iona.You can read the book if you want Tasfiya.
tasfiya introduced me to your blog!I GUESS ITS THE BACKYARD AM I RIGHT ? UR THE BEST TEACHER EVER!!!
Welcome to the blog chat Robayah.I am glad you are part of the blog now!:)
Tasfiya: I got that book from the school Library.I just went there today and borrowed this really cool book on Songbirds including Cardinals.Go to Google Images and search up this beautiful but sadly endangered bird with a spectacular curled tail called Quetzal.I saw a picture of it in this book called Olivia's Birds.Tell me what you think about that bird Quetzal.
So glad to hear from you Robayah! Welcome to the blog family!
