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!
Will the bluebirds get the winning contract for the birdhouse?
Or will it be the House Sparrow?
Cows enjoying the new green growth!
4 am cleaning off the car; bkfst with friends, and then picking up some of my boss’s family, and birding. Obviously we could set up the scope on the road, since it was flooded and nobody was going on past this point. Saw many birds, but only one new bird! It always felt good to get back in to the car, to travel to the next site.
Crocuses are blooming; Love is in the air!
Several weeks ago, a fellow employee, where I work quit working. Soon I heard she was dating an employee!! That same week, I picked up some taxi customers, and the daughter had her boyfriend with her! He looked familiar, and I realized he was the son of another customer. What a surprise to find out they had just started dating! Also on Thursday evening this week, I saw a male Woodcock putting on an aerial performance to try and impress a female woodcock! Spring is welcome, though the Calendar and weather forecast say it isn’t here yet!
Warm Spring air, makes the outdoor play area inviting!
A shrub pruned, waiting until Spring to show it’s beauty again!
