I flew to the thread and voted.

Voting for the birds and the bees was as natural as the birds and the bees!

 

[Kai "the spy"]

A little bird told me what to vote for.

I thought of striking up "The Bird is the Word" to introduce the alternatives, but then I just let them bee:

Love that bird turning its head, such character! Also like the bird on a tennis ball and Birdie Sanders!

The curious one.

I get this thief on my "small bird" feeder at times. A red-bellied woodpecker.

And these are the ducks I mentioned in the entry thread. As I look at Muscovy's again, these have the "bits" on top of the beak, so still possible they're a hybrid since I can't find a match.

 

[Avro Arrow]

This one totally freaks me out. (And not in a good way...)

..... I think I may have reported to him a number of years ago.

That's hilarious and adorable. I guess the little guy just wanted to hang out!

That is a great shot! What a beautiful bird.

I had the camera out on my patio with a wireless remote and clicked whenever there was something interesting.

The birds do it, the bees do it and so do I. Voting, that is.

 

[rhubarbodendron]

so many excellent entries! It's a very hard choice this time.
Some pics would be perfect for a caption game. Doesn't the dove look like she'd say "do you still want your sandwich or can I have it?"
And the shoebill is definitely flirting

 

[Random_Spock]

Wow. This is close! Two entries are tied at 7 votes a piece!

 

[Random_Spock]

Getting near closing time. Both Avro and auntiehill are tied at 7 votes a piece! So now is the time for any last minute votes. Poll is closing at 9:58pm.

 

[Random_Spock]

Voting is over!

So now it's up to both Avro and auntiehill as to who wants to host the next contest. Congratulations to you both!

 

[Gary Mitchell]

Congratulations to you both.
