Birdwatch

On By wanderingcatyarns

While there may be no frogs in my yard (though as many of you guessed… we’ve got plans…), we’ve still got plenty of birds.

The brown-headed cowbirds are showing up in force this year. They may not be the showiest bird, but the have a very pretty call.

We’ve got the blue jays whenever the peanut ring is full of course, but this Red Bellied Woodpecker is a fairly regular visitor.

Another regular visitor this year is the Red-Winged Blackbird, I hear them frequently, but normally, I don’t really see them.

This one, however has been visiting quite often. Many people say robins are the harbinger of spring, but for me, it’s always these guys. As soon as I hear them, I know spring is around the corner. However, he was not keen on the idea of getting picture taken, and as soon as he caught sight of me he’d take off.

These were the best I could get.

The same can’t be said for the Blue Jays. They are pretty used to me now, and as long as I’m not moving around too much, they don’t worry about my presence. That allows me to get shots like this!

Definitely my best so far!

    Great photos! We’ve got lots of those red winged blackbirds down in the wetlands and I’ve been trying for weeks to get a photo of one. They are very camera shy. Every time I zoom in, they fly away. It’s become a joke between me and The Mister.
