Sorry about the size of that one, and any others I may have goofed on. I like filling the viewing area with my photos, but not to the extent where you're forced to see it in pieces while you scroll through the image. *sigh*

So, according to the rules in the first post, you can't post two consecutive letter birds. I've been follwing this rule and I think it does add a little fun since if you have a great C bird you have to either wait for someone to post the B or forego your C until next time we go through the alphabet. 

However, I would propose skipping Q and X (and maybe Z?) because we've used up the "valid" responses, or else establishing that those letters will be joke birds. What do you all think?

Thank you I had not read the rules.

Here's my dimes worth:

I've been participating in this one from the start so in all due respect I suggest we ask the OP @Nighthawk01 to grant any changes since he did start this thread, however, some of us, myself included,  have already broken or bent the rules I still think we should ask first. Or we could abandon this thread totally and start a new one...just sayin'!  🙂

OK let's see if Nighthawk has any feelings about dropping the tough letters.

I do like the idea of '' joke birds'' for those three letters though, like a funny photo or maybe a bird phrase/saying or even a corny bird joke. 🙂

Birds of a feather flock together.

Q: Why do birds fly south in the winter?
A: Because it's too far to walk!

Yeah, that might be more fun!

Well, maybe we could fly that idea past @Nighthawk01 and see what he thinks. Sometimes we come to a standstill for days because everyone tries to avoid those three letters. :)

...so meanwhile back at the ranch while we are waiting for @Nighthawk01 to respond ...here's a cute little guy...

Doubleday's Hummingbird. 🙂

I am so sorry, everyone. For reference, this is Nighthawk (changed to another account). I’m so sorry I haven’t responded sooner. I’ve been very busy recently. Feel free to change the rules however you want.
