As always, my feeders are a busy place. Here are some of my favourite pictures from spring so far…
The Rose-Breasted Grosbeak is fairly regular visitor this time of year, but we don’t see them later in the year. I wonder if they are just passing through.
This White-Crowned Sparrow is a new arrival though. It will be interesting to see if he sticks around.
The Goldfinches have obtained their bright summer colours.
I know some people consider Grackles to be pests….
But I adore them. I love their shiny blue/green feathers.
And I love how they always look like they are there to cause a little mayhem.
The Brown-Headed Cowbirds are back too
And of course, the squirrels are busy raiding the feeders to feed their growing families.
But I think this is my favourite shot of all…
I finally got that perfect Blue Jay action shot.

I’ve only seen the rose breasted grosbeak a few times but they are stunning! I’ve just hung my ‘peanut ring’ hoping to keep the crows and blue jays coming!

You have lots of visitors to your yard this spring and that last shot! WOW! That is stunning. I’m guessing a nature magazine would love that photo.

That IS a great blue jay shot! Well done you!
Merlin told me that I had a rose-breasted grosbeak in my yard early, EARLY in the spring. Since they are pretty rare here I wasn’t sure, but the sound it made and the sound on the internet were the same, I guess it WAS there. I couldn’t see it though.
