Welcome, bird bloggers and skywatchers. This is Skywatch for Friday, September 5. I and the Bird #83 is the immediately previous post.
This photo was taken at Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, in spring 2003. The two grackles are perched on giant orange-colored letters that are part of a sign proclaiming some business – I think it was Thrasher’s fries, but I’m not positive about that – and the blue behind them is (of course) the perfect blue sky of that spring day. There were lots of grackles around that weekend, and BFF Judy heard more about them and in more detail than she ever wanted to. But that’s what friends are for, right?
Skywatch is a meme, a communal sharing, of photos of the sky from around the world. It’s just-for-fun, not-for-profit, and noncompetitive. To participate, blog a photo which includes the sky, then add its link to the master list at the Skywatch website. Enjoy, and visit the rest of the Skywatch posts when they are posted at 7:30 GMT today.
PS Don’t forget IATB#83, below.
