A beautiful Baltimore Oriole I was delighted to see while birding at Magee Marsh in Northern Ohio during the “Biggest Week in America Birding!” I think it was also National Bird Migration Day!

Ok, it’s not red but pink! The Dwarf Crab Apple Tree in our backyard shared it’s beautiful blossoms with us again. The wind and the rain took it’s toll, and carpeted our lawn with the beautiful pink petals! Have a great day.

I don’t think the horse has a life-list of birds, but it is the season birders are enjoying the Spring migration of waterfowl. Have a good first day of April!!

Plowing with three workhorses, a familiar scene in Holmes County, Ohio in the Spring time!

Finished work up close! I just noticed the robin in the foreground, obviously looking for an earthworm or two!

Not sure if this bluebird actually could tell that someone inside the window was there taking its photo. Maybe the way the sun was, etc, he could tell there was movement. Anyway, it seemed like he noticed me! It was nice to see the bluebirds back. The bluebirds had come back again this year, so I hurried and put their birdhouse outside in its usual spot. Then sparrows started making nests in the house, which I removed the second time. I think the sparrows gave up, because now the bluebirds have taken ownership of the house again.

This Amish farmer, near Becks Mills, Ohio decided it’s time for Spring fieldwork, so he hitched up his horses and went to work.

Somehow these ponies escaped and ran down the road. I was shocked to see this Amish father ands son each with a pony and one running loose. Not sure if only one got out and they rode the others to go find them or what! It amused me to see them coming down the snow covered road.

I dropped off an Amish family at their relative’s place for church, driving on bare gravel road. Seven hours later it had turned into a “Winter Wonderland” with snow and deep buggy tire tracks. I did make it home safely.
