Our first beautiful sunny spring like morning…..
and it didn’t take long to hear the excited ‘chattering’ of….
Tree Swallows! There is one on the top of the center piling and another flying beside it…also one on the last piling I think…
There is another one checking out that rather precarious bird house…they’ll be opportunities for closer pictures in coming days.
Tree Swallows weren’t the only ‘first sighting of the season’ species….
Right at the log bay this bird was performing….sort of acting like a cowbird but not sounding like one….
as I worked my way closer….here was the answer – Brewer’s Blackbirds! this one with the bright yellow eye being the male, the one on the piling being a female….
Courtship was definitely in the air….this was one of 3 pairs of Canada Geese….
and this male Red-wing Blackbird was busy staking out his territory while a female explored in the bushes near by.
