Sorry, it must be a good week for birds! Meg found a new one at her place this week (Eastern King-something), there was the grossbeak at Grandma and Grandpa's yesterday and my parents have a new migrating yellow rumped something or another that's been hanging out at their place. And then this morning I was trying to find the bunny in our back yard for Riley and instead I saw a Yellow Warbler! (This website sucks, I tried to link you right to the warbler, but you have to scroll down on the right if you want to see him. Sorry!)
Now, normally my back yard is home to your average sparrows, juncos and chicadee's, maybe a few cardinals and blue jays for color and a morning dove pair that coos a lot, but we don't even get gold finches, which is why this yellow guy caught my eye! Definetly not a finch, but cute:) Oh, and lately at night we've been hearing an owl too, but I can't identify those by sound, so he's a mystery! And since we have bats that come out at about sunset, I'm not inclined to go out looking for him at dusk either!!! He'll get to hoot in private for as long as he wants!
I love Spring...I'm a total bird nerd, I admit it!
