I just googled its picture, What a beautiful bird. Katie loves to bird watch and we are trying to identify all the birds in our neighborhood

Aren't they cool looking birds? We had our first visit of the season a couple of weeks ago I think......I called him 'the funky bird' until I identified him lol

Oh, you lucky thing! I would love to see one!

I got to see a new bird for Mother's Day, too...except, unfortunately, it was squished in the road. It was a Nashville Warbler, the first we've seen...I wish it had been *alive* when we saw it. : P
