Birds
Interesting visitor on my Ring doorbell camera … Shadow was watching intently from the kitchen window.
He came back the next day, brought some friends.
We get lots of birds in this neighborhood, even more than we saw at our old house.
Maybe that’s because the streets here all have bird names: Flamingo, Blackbird, Sandpiper, Redwing, Kingfisher, Wigeon, Bobolink, Pelican, Swallow, Magpie, Chickadee, Grouse, Finch, Quail, Heron, Woodcock, Starling, Mockingbird, Falcon, Albatross, Gull, Snowbird, Woodpecker, Thrush. A regular aviary.
No Robin, alas. There’s a Robin Lane and a Sparrow Lane in an older part of Levittown.
There’s another “aviary” nearby, with Condor, Loon, Oriole, Mallard, Wren, Cardinal, Lark, Crane and Raven.
Scattered through various neighborhoods you’ll find Skylark, Blue Jay, Peacock, Owl, Hawk and Swan.
Someone at the Levitt organization must have been a bird lover.
No mourning dove lane, which I think your Ring doorbell bird is. By the way, for whatever it is worth, American robins are thrushes.
ReplyDeleteYes, but my name isn’t “Thrush” 😁
DeleteMaybe I should get one. See if any deer get caught on the ring camera.
ReplyDeleteI wonder who spent the time coming up with street names in neighborhoods. Sometimes they have interesting themes. There's an area I know of where the street names are all city names: Anchorage, Topeka, Sacramento, Salt Lake, etc.
ReplyDeleteGood question. In the case of Levittown,, the Levitt built the streets on private property then deeded them to the Town.
