Nuthatch waiting his turn at the feeders.
May 25, 2020
Nuthatch chowing down.
The first new bird to my feeder this spring – the song sparrow.
My second new bird this spring – the chirping sparrow
Always a fun sighting are the fledglings that have just left the nest. This is a fledgling cardinal. Cardinals nest in my front bush every year.
Possibly mama cardinal taking a much needed break?
I have not heard any babies peeping yet, but the Eurasian sparrows have taken up residence in one of my blue bird houses and are definitely defending their space.
Bottoms up for this robin while bathing. A water source will always help attract birds.
Downy woodpeckers and
Finch enjoy the hummingbird nectar all summer long.
The cowbird is an interesting bird as it will lay it’s eggs in other bird species’ nests . Cowbirds can lay up to 36 eggs a summer, abandoning their young to foster parents. Sadly, this usually is done at the expense of some of the host’s own chicks.
Once again, the bluebirds were back today checking out my empty bluebird house. I am always hopeful that my box nest will be chosen. This is one way the male courts the female by offering nesting material.
This is the female bluebird, the nest box is ultimately her choice and she will build the nest.
The pair spent the better half of the morning in my backyard.
Hopefully I will report baby bluebird peeping news in the near future!
