Kurt's not the only Cerulean Warbler

verdandil tipped me off to this beautiful bird.



The photo was takenby MDF and used through a Creative Commons attribution-share alike license. I found it on Wikipedia.

When I saw this picture, I was a little concerned by how the color is almost azure, with only a hint of green - but I calmed down when I read Wikipedia's current definition of cerulean: "Cerulean, also spelled caerulean, may be applied to a range of colors from deep blue, sky-blue, bright blue or azure color through greenish blue colors." Not that Wikipedia is a complete authority on these matters, but I will trust it here because I just like the idea of cerulean being so versatile. Like my Kurt.

(I am just going to ignore buzzkill Merriam-Webster, which defines cerulean as "resembling the blue of the sky.")
