Not thrilled with the ornithologist who put "rump" in my name, but I didn't get a vote.

A small charcoal gray bird sits facing away on a twig. He has a bright red head and a glimpse of red belly shows, too. There is a black line running from the back of his neck through his eye and to his short narrow beak.
Among wide green leaves, a black bird clings to a small branch. He has red on his rump and a medium, thick blue-gray beak. He has his head cocked toward the camera.
A glossy back bird sits in a green feeder and eyes the camera. His wing has a red patch rimmed with yellow.
A white bird with black wings and tail and a red head sits in some mulch. It is digging some seed from the much with a fairly long pale beak.

There are birds who believe strongly in camouflage, but I say, if you've got it, flaunt it. And I've certainly got it.
