Those feisty little birds! Every year when we go to Lake Havasu for fireworks we see these long-tailed blackbirds, i forget what brand they are- but they always run up to shiny hubcaps and contemplate the reflections. It’s funny!
Great photo. Cute!

Aww, that’s one beautiful bird…A few days ago, I saw a bird flying between my and my boyfriend’s car, looking at himself in both of our mirrors. It was pretty adorable, that’s for sure. :)

15 Emma 06.30.08 at 2:39 am

What manner of lovely birdie is this??

16 Annie 06.30.08 at 2:55 am

The long tailed black bird is a Brewers Blackbird, and the pretty orange guy having territorial wars wif hisself in the side view mirror is a Tanager I believe.

19 johanna 06.30.08 at 3:10 am

It appears to be an orange-scarlet tanager:

21 Jupiter Star 06.30.08 at 4:24 am

*Blinks* Now how did my parakeets escape and oh wait it’s a much cuter birdie than them. EEEEEEEEEE! WANT IT!

22 caitlin 06.30.08 at 4:31 am

awwww pretty birdy! Looks like a scarlet tanager, but I thought they tend to stay secluded in the forest? whats he doing down with this person’s car? :D

23 Subhangi 06.30.08 at 5:32 am

Isn’t this some variety of finch?

And why is a finch speaking in a mixture of owlese and parrotese?

24 hon glad 06.30.08 at 5:38 am

Dahling! lovely to see you mwah mwah, is that Lacroix.

25 PattyP 06.30.08 at 5:54 am

Wow! Truly great photo!

26 Theresa 06.30.08 at 10:47 am

Great pic– great comments!
If I remember correctly, that bright little birdie is probably PO’d no end to see another male of his species on his turf.

27 Danielle 06.30.08 at 11:36 am

Aw, my dear recently departed budgie used to tire herself out flapping in front of the mirror if I forgot to cover it up.

Though usually I was already flapping in front of it and she’d sit on my shoulder

great pic

28 Kris 06.30.08 at 12:00 pm

Neat!!
If you scroll half way down this page: http://mariewin.server304.com/marieblog/2007_05_20_mariewinn_archive.html you will see a scarlet tanager. It definitely looks like one of those.

29 violetgreen 06.30.08 at 12:38 pm

Vermillion flycatcher?

Reminds me of when I put a ceramic cardinal on my windowsill and the local male cardinal took offense. Had to hide it or he would’ve spent all day at the window.

30 Grace 06.30.08 at 2:57 pm

Theresa’s correct. Cute as this looks to us, this little birdie is being aggressive…thinks someone is in his territory and giving him the ‘what for.” My canary does this all the time.

31 bookmonstercats 06.30.08 at 3:06 pm

Wonderful photo. BerthaS; I’m now snorting tea down my nose. I was wondering why you were hiding from Theo, then I worked it out

[THERE IS NO HIDING FROM THEO - Ed.]

32 gravyboat 06.30.08 at 4:59 pm

What an amazing photo! And so cute!

33 Noelle 06.30.08 at 5:42 pm

Grace…that may explain why my canary was so fixated on the mirror we gave him. My Mom had read somewhere that birds like mirrors, but our canary would sit in front of it all day and peck at it. We finally got rid of it and he seemed a lot happier. I guess now I know why. Thanks.

Geez, people on this site are so smart! I always learn so much here.

34 Joy 06.30.08 at 6:17 pm

My parakeet used to constantly preen himself and make out with his mirror till it got so covered I had to take it down. He’s a messy boy around mirrors but his all time favorite place to hang out is my keyboard. I’ve learned to frequently clean off my keyboard these days.

35 chanpon 06.30.08 at 6:53 pm

Stuart Smalley’s program really works!

36 Theo 06.30.08 at 8:42 pm

Stuart Smalley is going to be a US Senator soon.
Because Norm Coleman is a stoopypants.

37 ashley 06.30.08 at 9:53 pm

when I stop to admire myself in peoples mirrors-well its not quite as cute =/

38 chanpon 07.01.08 at 12:46 am

“Stuart Smalley is going to be a US Senator soon.”

So he actually was good enough, smart enough, and doggone it, people really do like him.

39 Marie 07.01.08 at 8:01 am

Love to hear the story behind this one. Is it a daily occurence or a one timer? Fabulous photo!
