The Eastern Bluebirds is said to be the state bird for both New York and Missouri. They prefer to live in open fields or grassy areas with some scattered trees. Bluebirds are said be in royal blue color and they are well known for their chirps like 'chir-we'. Coming to their nest, it is the male bird starts off building the nest, but it is believed that only the female bird has to complete the nest finally and decides about the place of the nest. Bluebirds feeds on small fruits and insects. These Bluebirds are well known for their sweet songs.
The male bluebirds are said to be brightly colored when compared to the female bluebirds. The dark one is male and light one is female *Mountain Bluebird (Sialia currucoides ). There are three different species under this single Genus of Sialia. Many would say that the color of the bluebird's back is the piece of sky as they possess the sky blue color.The native of this bird is America, especially North America in particular. So let us see about a bird called 'Bluebird' and also about one of the blue-colored birds of India.īluebirds are said to be omnivorous or insectivorous birds and they fall under the genus Sialia of the thrush family. Since I have already posted about some plants under Violet and Indigo, I have opted to choose a bird here under Blue. It is said that it would be liked by many conservative people and mainly it symbolizes peace and the Virgin Mary. The blue color is said to be the coolest color and its meaning is often related to sincerity, spirituality, trust, loyalty, serenity and the color of inspiration. My most ever favorite color would always be blue & all of its shades. The colour theme for today's post is BLUE Of us will write a post on the colours of VIBGYOR each day starting 1st of September to It was still a very satisfying experience to see this species in Hong Kong.This post is part of the Chennai Bloggers Club's CBC VIBGYOR BLOG TAG where some We managed a few closer fly-by views and that was it, as the rain came in we knew this was as close as we could get to this bird. To our surprise, it was extremely skittish, we were over 100m away when it took off and landed back onto the water much further away. It took us a while to finally locate the merganser amongst the Great Crested Grebes, and views were much better than that from ashore. Weather was not particularly good, with darker clouds looming in the distance.

It was the first time I've ever been out to Deep Bay, it was an interesting experience to get close to the oyster farms. News of one found floating along with Greater Crested Grebes at Deep Bay was encouraging, I managed a distance scope view on Sunday, but when Captain suggested to get a boat to try get a closer view on Monday I thought it was an interesting proposition. So, its been a species thats eluded my Hong Kong list for quite some time, adding to that I missed the only twitchable one at Lut Chau a few years back, so this was one of the species on my 'wanted list'. Since I started birding in Hong Kong years ago, Red-breasted Merganser had always been one of those birds that was supposed to be a regular wintering species in the Deep Bay area, their numbers dropped slowly until when I started birding seriously, there weren't really any around anymore.
