The signs of spring just keep coming.....
This morning saw this Steller's Jay with a huge mouthful of nesting material.
Yesterday....
in fact pretty much every day now except when it is really raining, there are Tree Swallows checking out various nesting boxes.
including over here at the martin nest boxes.
this Black-capped Chickadee was busy excavating a nest site. Some birds carry material to make a nest, while others like chickadees and nuthatches take material away to excavate a hole - which is why, if you put out nest boxes for them, you should put some sawdust or wood chips in the box so they can 'excavate' and carry them away.
water levels are starting to rise ever so slightly....
there were still a good number of geese in the field today with a lot of pairs scattered around all by themselves....
seems like this one is settling into where she nests every year, or least some goose does, assuming it is the same one.
they were hard to see today with the lighting and condition of the water, but the loons are definitely getting their breeding plumage.
and oh my goodness! the robins.....they are everywhere. Still waiting for a Rufous Hummingbird to show up though.
