I found out that this bird is a Barn Swallow!

Photobucket is holding all my photos from 2007-2015 hostage on their site and have replaced my photos with black and grey boxes of ugliness. I’m slowly deleting those boxes from my blog and trying to update so many posts, very frustrating.

Bluebird?
Kim, I wish I knew…When I looked up the western bluebird the coloring was not quite the same…
What a beautiful bird Ellen. Great shot!
Love the bird..and what an attitude!! He almost doesn’t look real. The reflection in the water and yellow flowers make it a picture to paint!
Good afternoon Ellen –
What a beautiful bird that is! I love its colors.
What a wonderful WW!
Mine will be up later (not Wednesday yet!)
Cool bird! Happy early WW!
I hadn’t heard of an earthquake…Willow is in San D. for a birthday party…N and D in tow. Thanks for the heads up!
Gorgeous! And your caption fits perfectly!
They didn’t even feel it while driving! 🙂
What a spectacular bird! He/she is just beautiful. If you find out what it is, let us know!
That’s a wonderful shot and I love the title too!
What a pretty bird!
Hi Ellen, that pretty bird is a yellow breasted orange chinned, orange beaked … pretty bird!
Happy WW and thanks for visiting our parade.

Excellent photo. Absolutely wonderful colors and composition.
Very nicely done.
Have a great WW.

Beautiful post. The colors are incredible!
I’m looking back at you admiring your beautiful feathers 🙂

Gorgeous! Thanks for the photo. Pls stop by my blog for the poll and contest.
Wow that is gorgeous!
Beautiful, Ellen.
The colors are wonderful, too.
The colors are “unreal”, very vivid. Well done 🙂
Despite the fact that the bird looks annoyed, it’s a wonderful shot. Love the contrast between the flowers, the water — and old pickle-puss birdie. Happy WW.
I’m serious. My eyes opened wide and my mouth dropped out. The colors are so vivid it’s just…well…I’m speachless.
Pretty shot
That’s a nice picture ! It looks so joyful !
Great shot. Wish I knew what kind of bird that was. I love how you’ve balanced the shot with the water and flowers – looks great.
Thats very pretty shot of the bird with yellow flowers and the water background…Happy WW!
Great shot and I adore how he has his head tilted.
Happy WW, Ellen.
Your photos are always magic. I love everything about this – the colors, the framing…. beautiful.
It’s a beautiful picture! What’s the name of the bird again?
My WW post…
Why oh why is it that birds do NOT fly away from you!!??
Great photo! I love the colors!
What a lovely bird 🙂
Love the cool blue water in the background. The barn swallow was taking a vacation by the beach?
Gorgeous photo!
