Name that Bird 21 (Chickadee)

Chickadee

Bird chosen by MagicLady




Welcome to the new daily contest about birds. I will post a new bird every day and you have to identify the bird, IM the name to me and write about it.

I will try to get the judging done every week day and Friday’s picture will run over the weekend. I will give only three trophies and 300 points for gold. You can write any kind of poem you want and I will choose whatever strikes my fancy that day.

Those of you, who have played my game before, will find this to be more exciting because this is a contest with points and trophies.

You MAY NOT use the name of the bird in your poem or author's notes or title. You can use similar words (use your thesaurus), otherwise you give away the name of the bird ... which is part of the fun of the contest.

I hope you write and play often.


No adult theme


I hope you enjoy the contest-----I know I enjoy having it.

Cheryl

    Is this bird North American or European?
