[Eric Gofreed]

I will start off today's Winged Wednesday with photos of birds that have the word "yellow" in their common name.

The once thought extinct, yellow-eared parrot from Columbia South America. Their forest palm habitat was almost completely destroyed to grow coffee.

Yellow-eyed Junco (Madera Canyon, Arizona)

Yellow-backed oriole (Columbia, South America)

Yellow-headed Blackbird (North Dakota)

Kevin, your bird photos are extraordinary. My eyes thank you too

 

[Ken Rennie]

A Queen ( I think) red tailed Bumblebee, very dopey as, despite the sunshine, it was probably too cold for it to survive. I should really have brought it inside to heat up but by the time that I had thought of this it had crawled deep into the undergrowth. Ken

The Yellow-headed Blackbird! That's so cool, I had forgotten about those. I might head up that way this summer I need to keep my eyes open for them.
