A Yellow Beak Baby Bird
While raking below the pine tree in my front yard, I saw this egg, which looked so much like a little rock that almost went unnoticed.
This pine tree always has bird nests every year, and I often don't see the nests, but just the birds flying in and out of it all day. If I come too close to the tree, I can hear angry chirping went off like fire cracker.
What Bird Am I?
When it comes to nature, I am absolutely in the dark with identifying the names of my objects. Whether it is trees, or flowers, or eggs, or birds, I have no idea what their names are. I love looking at them, and taking pictures of them, but naming them is not possible for me.
Brown Speckle Egg
In this picture, the egg is kind of stand out among the pine needles, but when I saw it, I can't hardly tell it was an egg at all. It was well blended into the ground and its environment. The flash must have gone off when I snapped this picture.
Baby Bird
As I was busy examining the egg, I heard the rustling sound in the prickly bush by the corner. My heart jumps with joy as I saw this yellow beak baby bird standing on the brick wall. It seemed lost, and confused!
Sad Look
I usually set my camera on quiet mode, so as I snapping picture, and moving in for a close up, the baby bird wasn't bother by my presence. It actually looked very well cared for, but a bit sad.
Pretty Bird
Though this yellow beak baby bird seemed lonely and sad, it watched my every move! I kept my distant while my camera zoomed in to the max. My thought was that the baby bird and the egg were somehow connected.
Looking for Mama
The baby bird hopped off the brick, and took a long walk to the other end of my garden. He/she has gray feather, and the only color was his/her yellow beak, which you can vividly see on the side of its mouth.
Hiding and Waiting
When it reached the end of my garden, it stood there in the corner of the rain pipe for a long time. This area was in the clearing, and I was afraid he/she might got hurt. Therefore, I decided to end my photo session and rush it back into the bushes for safety.
So there you have it, tell me what kind of bird it is. Or what kind of egg this is! Are they related?

yep it looked sad, lonely birdie and lonely egg, waiting for their mom
ReplyDeleteThrush or Blackbird? not sure. It certainly looks sad.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sad bird! I can't tell what type of bird it is though.
ReplyDeleteYou are right the egg looks like a rock. The bird may have been lost and therefore looks sad. I don't know what type of bird it is but these were great photos, Icy.
ReplyDeleteNo idea here either. Good thing you put it back in the bush and I'll bet mummy bird was watching your every move.
ReplyDeletelonely egg and lonely bird, i too have no idea about the identity of the egg or is it related to the lonely bird. i hope both of them find their mums, the 2nd picture of the bird really looked so sad, and you captured the emotions really well. it is great your camera does not make noise, mine would always make the bird fly away if i am close :(
ReplyDeleteYou sure do find a lot of interesting things in your yard. The bird might be a baby Starling or a Sparrow. The egg looks like it could be a House Sparrow.
ReplyDeletejossie,
ReplyDeleteThe baby bird found his mom and was happy after that!
Glynis,
Thanks for the info!
Cheryl,
I still don't know!
Jo,
I later found out the egg had a hole on the bottom after the fall..so sad.
Middle Ditch,
I know the mother was watching me because I heard lots of chirping noises.
Betchai,
I was happy with the quiet mode the camera provided.
Diane,
I guess my yard is a jungle! :-)
Icy, in the animal kingdom the females are usually to ones with less coloring so it may have been the Mama bird. You have captured your mystery tale very well.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, very nice documentation of the baby bird. Very artistic looking egg, icy!
ReplyDeleteWell, though you posted this quite awhile back, when I first began blogging, I never saw it. Great shots, both the egg and the bird. Perhaps the bird fell from its nest and mama can't find it. Ditto with the egg! And now it will never hatch!
ReplyDeleteIt has been a while since you have made this post , but I hope you get to see this anyway. Your bird is a "Starling." I just found one in my yard yesterday that was much younger than the one you showed. I looked for his mom or the nest and could not find it. I took it to an wildlife rescue and they Identified it for me as a Starling. They are non native birds, which means they are not normally in the Ohio area; they are classified as an invasive species. If you look up starlings you will get to see your bird at all stages of their lives.
ReplyDelete@ Scenicroute,
ReplyDeleteThank you for this information! The adult starlings around here, Michigan, looks nothing like this baby bird, but I am glad to know.
Although Starlings have yellow beaks...so do a lot of other baby birds. This one at first glance looks like a Starling, but I don't think it is. The baby Starlings in the northwest have bright yellow lips that look almost clown like. Baby Robins look much like this also....
ReplyDeleteThere are many baby birds with yellow beaks...At first glance this looks like a starling....but Starlings beaks are rather clown like.
