Springtime is lambing time!!!
In the top photo is a Baltimore Oriole leaving a feeder after getting his grape jelly. This was the first time I saw this species this Spring. The bottom photo is of a female and male Northern Cardinal. The Cardinals were in a frenzy, going to and fro, the male chasing the female. It is obviously mating time!
These cows are leisurely chewing their cud, in the foggy, with not a care in the world!
Obviously the “Yellow Submarine” fits into the theme of this “Legends of Music Barn” near Clark, Ohio. Depending upon your age, and music tastes this will take you back to the Song, that Ringo Starr, one of the Beatles, sang
Female House Finch at our window feeder!
Will the bluebirds get the winning contract for the birdhouse?
Or will it be the House Sparrow?
Lambing time is another harbinger of Spring! Not sure what breed these sheep are! Lambing is the time when lambs are born.
This horse barn is under construction near Medina, Ohio. Not the pile of walnut lumber under the low roof. That will be used on the walls, including the walls between the horse stalls! The stone exterior reminds me of the type of stone used in building barns in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. There is at least one barn in Holmes County, Ohio which is built in the same fashion. See below the home that sits on the same property as the barn. There will be a brick walkway between the house and barn!
Going to pay respect for a gentleman who died of a massive heart attack! The wagon, is used to transport benches from one home to another for the Amish church services. These are also available for times like these. Note the battery-powered light which will light up the area for those coming in the late evening.
After eluding me last Saturday, this species of bird was again heard yesterday, and I was able to get a glimpse of it, and get a photo, as well! It is a Field Sparrow. Lifer for Birders means it is the first time in your life that you have seen this bird, and identified it!
