Blackburnian Warbler |
We did Big Day yesterday, and were we ever tired when we got home. The boss went to the races after....I don't know how he did it....
Somewhat less lovely |
Had fun though, and good birds. A handful of new county birds, including a Hermit Thrush right in our creek ravine by the barn, and one lifer... 57 species altogether.
Common Yellowthroat |
Song Sparrow |
The life bird was a Blackburnian Warbler, seen and ever so luckily photographed too, down along the driveway. I tried to go out to refind him this morning...or any other new arrivals that might be around, but alas, it is raining too hard to be sensible.
These Tree Swallows, and a number of others, were determined that they could get inside that tiny hole in the old phone box to nest Fail |
Hope it stops soon, as the boss and Becky are off to a ball game with Scott and family, so I am on my own for finding birds today.
And speaking of fail...something found a turkey nest I guess |
Dang it...I hate seeing eggs destroyed. I also had to laugh at the 'one less lovely'
ReplyDeleteBeautiful birds!
Bird Heaven!
ReplyDeleteYour pictures capture it so wonderfully :)
I bet you found some awesome birds to photograph!
ReplyDeleteLinda, I wasn't pleased, as our turkeys have been nearly all gone and are just starting to return
ReplyDeleteCathy, it is Heaven! Thanks!
