Have you ever seen a Rufus Sided Towhee? Isn't that a great name? Rufus Sided Towhee. I just like saying it! And it's a really cool looking bird- one of my favorites. There are other cool birds with names that describe them: Black Capped Chickadees, Ruby Crested Kinglets, Red Whiskered Bulbuls (I'm not joking!). But my favorite bird of all isn't named for what he looks like; he's named for where he lives: the Eastern Bluebird.
If I were a bird, they'd have to call me something horrible like the Brown Haired Forty Something. I think I'd rather be known by where I abide.

oh my...would your post today have anything to do w/your upcoming
"fortysomething" birthday this month? :)
oops....can't type my own initials
oh, ABIDE
Ok then,
Respited Dappled Orangitis in Spiritus
I've got one for you: how 'bout the Purple-sided Flow-He?
How about the "Southern Orange Lilt"
Why not based on what you do? like the woodpecker.....I'd vote for warm hearted, wise encourager? and by the way...you can only be a wise encourager when you have a few years (and a few bumps) to acquire that wisdom! what a rare and wonderful find you are :)!
OK, this bird name thing is fun! I wish you all had blog sites and we could all name each other (Rod got his ;-)
Bonnie: You'd have to be some kind of lark, with wisdom and beauty that glows from Heaven....I'm working on it!
/sp: Yours has lots and lots of Color! that's for sure!
You'll just have to come back and see if I've come up with them!
Found your blog and am browsing a bit. ;-)
I like this post. My on-line nicname is Sparrow. I chose that for several reasons, like the fact that I'm chipper and talkative, and of course, have plain brown hair. But mostly I chose it because of the Biblical references. It reminds me that God is a personal God. (Matthew 10)
