Hmmmmm...... pink is for girl birds? It's interesting how they sit in the tree with the tail perkily tilted upright. I wonder if any are found with tail hanging down.

I present you with the seldom seen and rarely photographed Charlie brownis Kite.
I used to have one in my backyard for years. It seemed to favor a Silver Maple tree. Sadly, I never got any pictures and it hasn't been back this year.
