These scanned very small, but I think you get the idea. DJ decided to draw a portrait of himself. The picture is probably three years old, but I think he did an awesome job, especially since it was his first try. He is proud, but thinks it could be better, always a critic he is. Tweety Tuesday will return next week with the Mountain Blue Bird.
Today for a new thing I like to call Tweety Tuesday I'm going to tell you about the Western Tanager.
The Western Tanager is a gorgeous song bird that is a member of the Cardinal family.It is medium sized bird normally growing to 6in tall.The males have a red head and a yellow belly,neck, and wing bars the rest of the body is mostly black including the wings,tail,and back.The females are less colorful with a yellow greenish head and a yellow greenish belly.The wings and tail are brownish black.The females also have a yellow neck.The Western Tanager gets its name for a reason, it's only found in the Western United States.From parts of California to Washington,Oregon,Arizona, it even is found in some of Canada and some of Alaska!It breeds from Southern Alaska to the Mexican tropics.Almost never travels to the Atlantic coast for the winter.Female lays 4-5 eggs with a greenish blue speckled eggs in a flying saucer shaped nest.
That's my report on the Western Tanager.I also got the information from Wikipedia and the National Audubon Society Field Guide to North Amreican Birds,the picture from Wikipedia,and the video from You Tube.The End.
DJ asked me to post this, as he does not know how to do the videos yet. You would think a ten year old boy would pick Miley Cyrus or the Jonas Brothers, but his first musical video he picked Joy to the World, by Three Dog Night. This is one of his favorite songs to sing LOL.
Today I'm going to tell you about what I did on my 10th birthday.
My birthday started a few days before when I got Super Mario Galaxy2 for a early gift.About 4 days later we went on a hunt for fireworks on July 3.It took us a while but in the end we found us some fireworks and some great seats.Did I forget to mention that my birthday is on July 4th?The next day I started off with a good breakfast and then got dressed to go to church.After church I came home to find myself getting birthday kisses from my dogs."Woof woof happy birthday woof woof" it sounded like they were saying.A little while later my Dad came home with my cake and my Grandma arrived.Before cake we opened presents.I got all six of the U.S. territory quarters,a train modeling kit,and lots of money. then we ate cake.My Mom was mad because it was the frosting she doesn't like.Whip cream frosting.A few hours later it rained very hard and we got to go out to slide in the water and mud in our clothes, then we swam in the pool later when it got nice again!
DJ shares a birthday with the USA, of course not the same year LOL! If you get a chance wish him a happy birthday, he would be tickled. I hope everyone has a great holiday! DJ will resume posts this next week, and he is looking forward to it.
