Some of the Blue Mug's May Adventures

The Majestic Feathers Blue Mug continues to travel about promoting organic shade grown certified bird-friendly coffee, making new friends, being humorous, and of course continues to be the "drinking companion" of the author of this blog post. And thankfully so, because there are some days when I don't know how I would get through without a steaming mug full of bird-friendly coffee!

Here are a few of the recent pictures and captions of the Majestic Feathers Blue Mug as orginially seen on Facebook.

Caption on Facebook: 5/14/11 Today's Blue Mug: While birding with Bill Thompson III he was very sweet to pose with me and the Majestic Feathers Blue Mug. Remember everyone...please purchase and drink organic shade grown certified bird-friendly coffee. Thanks again Bill it was great to go birding with you this afternoon!

P.S. 5/24/11 Bill was the keynote speaker at the Great Salt Lake Bird Festival. What a fun event! The committee did a heck of a job!

Zeke Watkins took this picture of Bill and me. Thanks Zeke!

Caption on Facebook: ‎5/15/11 Today's Blue Mug: Bison basking but barely beware Blue Mug.

P.S. On Sunday May 16th, Poo Wright-Pulliam and I went birding on Antelope Island, an island in the Great Salt Lake, with my aunt Margaret and uncle Jim. Poo had never been there so she was quite excited to see bison roaming free. I heard from Birdchick Sharon Stiteler the next day that she had been their birding at the same time we were. Sadly we missed her. The birding is really great around and on this island.

Caption on Facebook: 5/19/11 Today’s Blue Mug: I had a great time this evening giving my multimedia presentation titled: ‘Migration the Tiny Heroes Journey’ at the Community Library in Ketchum. It was the inaugural unveiling of this topic for me and from the response of the audience it seems it went well.

On its own Facebook page the Blue Mug had this to say: The migration presentation is complete and presented…now let’s get back to being outside looking at birds and not the computer screen. I want to see the neotropical migrants not read about them.

Caption on Facebook: 5/2011 Today’s Blue Mug: If your apple tree is suffering from empty nest syndrome, put a mug in it!

And the Blue Mug had this to say from its prespective: “Gee Whiz the next thing you know some bird will come along and force a worm down my throat!”

P.S. 5/24/11 The nest is of course an empty Robin's nest from the 2010 breeding season.

Caption on Facebook: 5/22/11 Today’s Blue Mug: “Hey dude are you sure the lady said that the seeds in the mug were only for the male birds?” Said in the voice of female Evening Grosbeaks and a female Cassin's Finch.



Caption on Facebook: 5/23/11 Today’s Blue Mug: “Hey Blue Mug, on behalf of the Bullock’s Orioles I just wanted to stop by and say thanks for all that you have done to encourage people to drink shade grown organic certified bird-friendly coffee. Those poly-culture coffee plantations are a real life saver for so many of us Neotropicals.”

It was a dark and dreary day, in fact it was raining and the Bullock’s were the only bright spot in the yard at the moment I snapped this shot.

Thanks for dropping by and please keep on drinking bird-friendly cofffee and encourage your local coffee shops to purchase it as well.
