Blue Tit #41 | Barbara Haviland - Blog

Blue Tit #41 | Barbara Haviland - Blog
The Blue Tit (Cyanistes caeruleus[2] or Parus caeruleus[3]) is a small passerine bird in the tit family Paridae. The bird is easily recognisable by its blue and yellow plumage.
Blue tits, usually resident and non-migratory birds, are widespread and a common resident breeder throughout temperate and subarctic Europe and western Asia in deciduous or mixed woodlands with a high proportion of oak. They usually nest in tree holes, although they easily adapt to nest boxes where necessary. The main rival for nests and search for food is the much larger Great Tit.
The blue tit prefers insects and spiders for their diet. Outside the breeding season, they also eat seeds and other vegetable-based foods. Blue tits are famed for their skill, as they can cling to the outermost branches and hang upside down when looking for food.

Vermilion Flycatcher #40 50birds in 50days for $50.Each | Barbara Haviland - Blog
The Vermilion Flycatcher (Pyrocephalus rubinus) is a small passerine bird in the Tyrannidae, or tyrant flycatcher family. Most flycatchers are rather drab, but the Vermilion Flycatcher is a striking exception. It is a favourite with birders, but is not generally kept in aviculture, as the males tend to lose their vermilion colouration when in captivity.

This is my version of the Vermillion Flycatcher. It think he is a pretty lively little bird.

Pelican in Flight #39 50Birds in 50Days for $50.Each | Barbara Haviland - Blog

Pelican in Flight #39 50Birds in 50Days for $50.Each | Barbara Haviland - Blog
Pelicans are a genus of large water birds in the family Pelecanidae. They are characterized by a long beak and large throat pouch used in catching, and draining water from, their prey. The eight living pelican species have a sometimes patchy global distribution, ranging latitudinally from the tropics to the temperate zone, though they are absent from much of interior and southern South America as well as from polar regions and the open ocean. Fossil evidence of pelicans dates back at least 30 million years, from the remains of a beak very similar to modern species recovered from Oligocene strata in France.  I am so glad these birds are back. The hurricanes drove them off.

Himalyn Manal #38 50birds in 50days for $50Each | Barbara Haviland - Blog

Himalayan Manal #38 50birds in 50days for $50Each | Barbara Haviland - Blog
Habitat: Mountainous regions; in summer, they are found in rocky, grass covered meadows and winters in coniferous and mixed forests.
Description: The males are adorned with beautiful metallic colors of green, purple, red and blue; they also have a large white patch on the rump. The breast and underparts are black and the tail is copper. You can see from the photograph on the right, that the males also have a very long crest, much like a peacock. The male also has a bare patch of turquoise blue skin around the eye.The hens, while much duller than the male, are still attractive. They are basically mottled brown overall, with black, buff and white streaks. Her throat is white and she has a short crest. Hens also have the blue patch around the eyes. First year males resemble the hens, but are larger and have black feathers on the neck and breast.  My cousin sent me a photo of this bird to paint.  I hope I have done him justice.
